British VIrgin Islands, Virgin Gorda, June, 2009

As soon as school was out, we headed for Virgin Gorda and 10 days of snorkeling and relaxing on the beaches. The water was much warmer than in Feb. and very calm, just perfect for snorkeling. We had a great day at the Bitter End, sailing and sailboarding and going out to Necker Island on the big snorkel boat. Josie and I had a spa day at Little Dix and Dave took the kids to the Baths to roam around the boulders.

Mangoes on Spring Bay

We had a terrific house overlooking the water; the kids were in the pool all the time although it was like a bathtub in the heat.

A great way to get around !

This just happens to be Necker Island, owned by Richard Branson......he didn't invite us for tea!! (but the snorkeling was great.....)

We had lunch at Leverick Bay.......
