British Virgin Islands do not have much of britannique.On told himself that perhaps in the capital, Road Town on Tortola, as here, the English influence is more present ... not everything. Moreover, this city is on the circuit of most major cruise ships is very disappointing. Again no true center, just a row of houses and buildings without character or style. In addition to the anchorage was very fast, we left the next morning without asking our rest.
In crossing between the Virgin Islands
A word about navigation between the islands. ... We must be vigilant ... you meet a bunch of rental boats steer by amateurs who have no regard for rules of priority ... I had a very strong desire to use the horn. ... but hey, I breathe through your nose ...
cons Small islands like Jost Van Dyke and Norman Island, Beef Island, are all the more charming than the others. Our favorite? Jost Van Dyke does not recommend any guide yet. There is something of yet humble in Jost Van Dyke. Moreover, without despising the boaters, the locals are particularly independent. To a lady whom he asked to sell chips at a grocery store, Daniel was told No, it does not tempt me to open ... however, she rocked on her gallery and shop is right behind her, in his home. ... Not too much money ... I would say. But we loved this place.
Bay Norman Island
A Norman Island, with Jean-François and Dominique, we went to snorkel in the caves ... A seabed rather poor, Daniel met a turtle, and we saw a few fish, nothing extraordinary.
Here to Beef Island, what is unique is the local crafts, pottery, some sculptures, painters Sunday ... We also saw how people were fishing instead ... the net from the beach ... we are waiting for the winds down a bit, they blow past three days at 20 knots, gusting to 25 but what we see on the graphs of our prediction sites is that wave at sea is still pretty big ... we leave anyway just now for Virgin Gorda, the last of the Virgin. You think you have a weather window to cross to St. Martin on Wednesday night. A 18 hours at sea, the last big deals ...
