7-DAY ITINERARY FOR
THE BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS
Nature’s Little Secret, your Disneyland
for adults. |
|
|
DAY 1
Arrive by air at Beef Island, Tortola, British
Virgin Islands. You can walk 100 yards to your
boat or take a taxi, but it is very close, so
walking is fine for most people. Within 10 minutes
you can be on board GOOD MEDICINE enjoying tropical
drinks prepared by a master lady cocktail queen.
All charters begin at 12 noon, normally you arrive
at 1pm, so a light lunch is prepared for your
group while you settle into your new luxury vessel.
Once you are settled, your Captain motors slowly
round to one of the world’s most magnificent
islands, Marina Cay (Republic of Jose Cuervo),
for the evening, one of the smallest of the Virgin
Islands. Marina Cay has a lovely beach restaurant
under the coconut palms where you can relax and
enjoy the tropical surroundings, or you can jump
in the warm crystal clear tropical waters and
snorkel round the small reef. Children as well
as adults can water ski, kneeboard or snorkel
here, but going ashore to explore this island
is a big "must."
Hors d'oeuvres are served round 5 pm, the chef
will bring out snacks and your favorite happy
hour cocktail for all to enjoy. Take in your first
gorgeous sunset while relaxing on the trampoline.
After sunset, dinner is served in the main cockpit
area under the stars for everyone to enjoy your
first tropical calm evening in Paradise.
Pinch yourself, you are in paradise where mermaids
and dolphins play

DAY
2
After a good morning breakfast (9.30am), a morning
cruise can take you to the Baths on Virgin Gorda.
This takes roughly 2 hours to sail and is most
picturesque. Now you anchor at this spectacular
rock formation at +-11.30am; it is here you
can discover the beautiful world underwater
and on land.
We anchor just short of the beach and prepare
lunch while your captain takes you through the
walk from the Baths into "DEVILS BAY”;
take flip-flops and a swimsuit. This special
walk takes about 20 minutes and is worth each
step through the dense undergrowth. There is
plenty time for snorkeling in this magnificent
area, so a relaxing day can be spent exploring
the Baths on land and Underwater. At 3pm take
a short cruise up to Spanish Town and anchor
out for the evening. This is where guest can
go ashore and explore small local shops, then
return to Good Medicine for dinner and a good
night sleep. |

DAY
3
Wake up in Spanish Town, VG, and meet in the
cockpit, where morning coffee is waiting for
you, while breakfast is served. After breakfast
raise the anchor and proceed to Long Bay Virgin
Gorda , relax here for the remainder of the
day and evening. Spend the morning enjoying
the crystal clear water and the 1 mile long
foot-print free beach. There are no palm threes
at this anchorage but collecting sea shells
on the beach or snorkeling is divine. The view
at sunset from Long Bay Virgin Gorda simply
cannot be beaten it is a view 25 miles down
to St Thomas where the sun sets, surrounding
you (or the horizon at this point) are a multitude
of tropical islands in the sun. Every night
at sunset is dead calm, so enjoy Happy hour
with treats and cocktails, let your mind escape
into paradise. It is here on a full moon that
you can see each grain of sand on the seabed
15 feet below. Supper is served in the cockpit,
then amble off to sleep, those long sleeps of
content.

DAY
4.
Set sail to Deep Bay Virgin Gorda and here you
have selected one of the most out of the way anchorages
around. This sail will take about 1 and a half
hours where you drop anchor within range of the
famous barrier reef. Have lunch then get your
captain to take you snorkeling above the 4 sixteenth
centaury cannons in 10 feet of water, or snorkel
with your captain on the outside of the barrier
reef. When snorkeling on the outside of the barrier
reef you will see why it is called a barrier reef,
the reef stands up from 5 feet to 40 feet and
the live coral polyps face the deep blue sea where
all their food comes from, this is where your
see those rainbow colored fish, all the colored
sponges and corals. Very few guests get to do
this so make sure you are one of those few. Today
has been a water sport day so squeeze in the kayaking
and fishing as well. Relax at happy hour then
look forward to the best cuisine on and off the
island before wondering off to sleep . |

DAY
5
From Deep Bay Virgin Gorda enjoy a swim before
breakfast, then enjoy another breakfast in the
Good Medicine cockpit. Up anchor at 9.30am and
do a spinnaker sail all the way down to Norman
Island which is famous for the Robert Louis Stevenson's
novel "Treasure Island," and today you
hope to snorkel into the famous 3 pirate caves.
It is the pleasant spinnaker sail which takes
up most of the morning and you find yourself arriving
at Treasure Island round Noon. Pick-up a buoy
at the famous three caves then everyone snorkel
into the caves (make sure you do all three) and
return to Good Medicine for a hearty lunch. After
lunch work around to the Bite for the night and
anchor in a secluded spot to relax and explore
the island for the rest of the day. Happy hour
is at 5 pm again and you may wish to visit the
famous Willy T which is a Brigantine pirate ship
at anchor which acts as a restaurant and bar.
This can be quite a lively place at night, so
if it is night life you feel you need after these
out of the way Blue Lagoons then the Willy T is
where you need to head for this evening. Dinner
is enjoyed on board under the gorgeous stars above.
Relax on board before you head off to bed. |

DAY
6
After breakfast (9.30am), a leisurely cruise to
Jost Van Dyke offers ample opportunity for fishing
on the way. Sandy Spit and Green Cay are all places
of exceptional beauty. Just take your pick. Sandy
Cay is a "must do" exploring adventure
by foot, it is a short walk which commences on
the beach and runs through thick coconut palms
followed by thick undergrowth, this leads up to
the top a a volcanic rock which is roughly 50
feet above the beach and then the path wanders
back through the undergrowth to the palms and
on to the beach. Take shoes, flip-flops, a camera
and bug spry. This is one walk you will never
forget. For the over-night stop, White Bay is
secluded and quiet with only the Soggy Dollar
Bar ashore; or Great Harbor is ideal for those
who would like to visit the famous Foxy’s
Tamarind Bar. Foxy is the name given to a local
gentleman who is famous for his singing. Sample
his "Sly fox" or the "Dreaded fox",
both made from Foxy’s firewater rum and
listen to his calypso songs. Beware, you will
possibly be in one of his Caribbean songs! The
words Sly Fox and the Dreaded Fox are names of
special drinks he has mixed over the years. These
three perfect anchorages are close together so
select one of them and enjoy your happy hour,
followed by dinner and sleep. |

DAY
7
After a good breakfast (9.30am), cruise to Monkey
Point on Guana Island this is a long sail but
a magnificent one, possibly taking 2-3 hours to
do. Pick up a buoy or drop anchor and relax for
the rest of the day as well as the entire night.
Snorkeling is the major task at hand here or relax
on your catamaran with your favorite book.
Monkey point is a wonderful anchorage with lovely
protected Caribbean hills around you. You can
see the head of the Guana projecting out 27 feet
from the side of the hill and it looks exactly
like a Guana's head. Enjoy a relaxed happy Hour
followed by a great supper, with liquors to complete
your meal. |
|
DAY 8
After breakfast cruise round to Trellis Bay
for your trip home at 12 noon. I am sure you
would remember sailing is Gooood Medicine.
