Holiday in Virgin Gorda

Virgin Gorda - Another beautiful island in the British Virgin Islands, Virgin Gorda means "fat virgin" in Spanish.

Of course the island received its name from Christopher Columbus, who thought he was in India at the time, so we have to give some allowances for such an awkward name.

The island, itself, is neither fat, nor is it awkward. In fact, we found the ladies there to be in the best of conditioning.

Also, the blissful sailing conditions surrounding Virgin Gorda add greatly to the reputation of the British Virgin Islands as the Caribbean's premier boating choice.
