Day 7 Virgin Gorda to Jost Van Dyke
We left The Bitter End Yacht Club and sailed to Jost Van Dyke. Another day in Paradise!
After mooring in White Bay, Heather took us to the beach. First stop was the infamous Soggy Dollar Bar. The name comes from sailors swimming in and buying drinks with their soggy dollars. We all had a Pain Killer or two. This is where that drink was first concocted. We grabbed a group of comfortable chairs around a table and relaxed. We shopped. We ate lunch (the chicken Roti was delish) at Coco Locos and tried their Coco Loco Wacker. A Bushwhacker with banana. We shopped. We walked the beach, took pictures and shopped some more. We moved the boat to Great Harbor and picked up a "Boaty Ball" mooring for the first time. These moorings have an online reservation system. We didn't have a reservation. We discovered that the ball we chose was reserved, of course. We were able to reserve another one. So...... we untied and moved to the other ball. We all dressed for dinner and took the dinghy into Foxy's. The tables were elegantly set. The food was amazing. Grouper, Wahoo and coconut shrimp. Back on the boat we all packed our bags so we would be ready to disembark as soon as we returned the boat the next day. We are not ready for this trip to end!
