Patricia Schultz in her book "1000 Places to See Before You Die" devotes a page and a half to Sailing the British Virgin Islands. Of all the places to experience in the BVI, she makes mention of White Bay as a beloved location in yachting circles. White Bay is located on Jost Van Dyke, the island that lies just north of Tortola (i.e. where we pick up the boat). The 3- by 4- mile island is home to approximately 200 people, and it's highway is an unimaginably gorgeous white sandy beach.
Our favorite place on the island is a little place called The Soggy Dollar, which is named for the soggy state of dollar bills used by those swimming ashore. It is the focal point of most who visit the island including us!
What do you do in paradise? We adults relaxed (hammocks are plentiful here) and played "hook" while the kids built a sandfort with shells, coconuts, and coral.
