Come aboard as we visit the islands for an unparalleled sailing adventure! The British Virgin Islands in the eastern Caribbean Sea are a sailor’s paradise! Enthusiasts from around the world arrive in the BVIs to hoist their sails in the consistently steady trade winds. Voyage with us from Tortola island to Jost Van Dyke, named after a famous Dutch mariner. Next we go to Anegada, the only all-coral atoll in the BVIs. Back into the Sir Francis Drake Channel, we navigate to Virgin Gorda, the second largest island in the archipelago. Also in the channel is Norman Island, the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic pirate tale “Treasure Island.” And Salt Island is great for a shipwreck dive on the R.M.S. Rhone. So come aboard for the adventure! AUTHOR - Brad Olsen is a Contributing Editor for World Explorer magazine and has written several guide books.
