May 2005 - British Virgin Islands
 Facts
The Virgin Islands are an archipelago comprising hundreds
of small islands and cays situated between Puerto Rico and
the Leeward Islands. The eastern half is a British dependency,
while the western part is US territory.
The largest British islands are Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Jost
van Dyke and Anegada, the latter being slightly set apart,
while the former are grouped together around the Sir Francis
Drake channel.
Cruising attractions: the Virgins are perfect cruising ground
- scenically beautiful, with countless bays, coves and anchorages,
the waters sheltered from the strong trade winds and ocean
swells.
