Our annual Virgin Island Trip Report

[Bob & Sharon]

We returned from a three-week escape to the Virgin Islands on Dec 19th. The trip started with two weeks on Virgin Gorda where we rented a house near Spring Bay for 10 days then 5 days at Little Dix Bay. We enjoyed snorkeling all over the island and eating at the Mineshaft, Hog Heaven and Chez Bamboo. Shopping is better now on VG thanks to the new Bucks wholesale. We finished up with a week at Caneel Bay on St John, which is summer camp for adults done right. The best restaurant on the island La Tapa in Cruz bay.

The trip was marvelous, as always. The water was clearer and weather calmer than previous years. We photographed and identified 243 fish and other wildlife this year, a new record for us. We saw only one Lionfish on Virgin Gorda and none on St John. The trip’s log, photographs and some videos can be found in a folder behind our website at the link:
