One reason for coming to the BVI’s was to join the Cruising Association Rally. We met up in Gorda Sound on Tuesday for Happy Hour at Saba Rock then, Wednesday, lunch at Saba Rock and BYO evening dinner on the beach at Vixen Point. Thursday was a sail/motor in company to Tortola with an evening dinner at Myetts in Cane Garden Bay. A great time meeting not only CA members but a number of others cruisers who got pulled into the party. Thanks to Liam and Chris for the organisation and everyone for making it so enjoyable

Saba Rock is a small resort in Gorda sound.  It is quite literally just a rock, and from the side facing the sound you can only see the buildings on top.  On the side facing the Caribbean there is a lovely beach with views of Necker Island.  They have some moorings, a restaurant and a few rooms; a nice place but quite expensive. Myetts is a hotel/bar/restaurant in Cane Garden Bay, more reasonably priced with musical entertainment. Cane Garden Bay is very nice - with the essential palm fringed white beach, and not too full of tourists, though the sun loungers on the beach filled up quite quickly.  Luckily the weather has been kind so the anchorages have been comfortable although a bit more wind would have been nice for the sail down here.
