Gorda Sound, Virgin Gorda, BVI

20 January 2012
Early start, and a very gentle nice day down wind sailing to Spanish Town, British Virgin Islands. Check in was the most unpleasant so far, with the highly pressed uniformed officials with a bad attitude.
Already one feels the proximity and influence of the US. The supermarket in Spanish Town is full of US products, unfortunately not the best of their products! The quick, convenient, mass produced ‘stuff’, and imported fruit and veg.
Next day we had a great sail to Gorda Sound, a very nice large protected bay. Anchored, and went ashore to Saba Rock for a drink and a bite. I am beginning to understand peoples reluctance to BVI’s, we felt like we were in a mini disney land.
Great walk up the road, than path to the Gorda Peak, well worth it.
