January 2nd 2014 it was time to start seeing more of the BVI. We’d heard it was worth the effort to go north to Anagada. We departed from Virgin Gorda\/Prickly Pear island early in the day and enjoyed a short 2 hour sail at a brisk 8+ knots on a broad reach. What a treat. We worked our way into the mooring area through the marked buoys. This island has reefs all around it. As soon as we secured the boat, we took Charlie ashore for an exploration hike. First discovery were the burrs that Charlie attracts, they attach themselves to his fur like velcro. We had to keep stopping and relieving him of the pesky things. We resorted to walking him on the road. We passed two cows and a young bull. There are no fences, these animals are just wandering like us. The bull seemed attracted to Charlie, so we took the next road back towards the beach and thankfully the bull went back to munching on grass.

After investigating the little shops, letting kids pet Charlie, and deciding which restaurant we’d eat at we retuned to the boat, fed Charlie, swam\/showered, and got changed into nice clothes for dinner. We arrived early and tried ‘jungle juice’ at the bar during happy hour. It went down easy, so we had seconds. Our dinner reservations were for 6pm at Neptunes Treasure. The island has only 300 inhabitants and they are mainly fishermen who provide fish and lobster to the entire BVI. Paul ordered 1\/2 lobster which we saw being delivered to the restaurant fresh off the boat. I had swordfish, breaking my vegan diet for fresh locally caught fish was worth it. Wow it was good.

We had planned to stay 2 days on the island, but we felt we’d already overspent our budget so opted to leave the next morning. We will explore the rest of the island next time. This island is very dog friendly, for those with dogs that might want to know. We even had one of the restaurants tell us we could bring our dog to dinner. We did draw the line, we don’t want him expecting to get into restaurants when most are not that willing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
