18/4 – Last night we anchored off the Baths. This is a Virgin Gorda National Park comprising huge granite boulders on the beach and into the sea. The previous day we had seen it from the beach today I took the dinghy and rowed along the full length. We stayed there until midday and headed off to our lunchtime anchorage off the west side of Cooper Island. The evening saw us in Road Harbour on the island of Tortola. This place is so compact you get anywhere with an hour or two. Still in the British Virgins, in the next few days we will be testing out Norman’s American visa in the Us Virgins.
