Anegada
Across the sea and over the horizon sits the small island of Anegada. Long, low and flat make this a unique land mass in the territory. It also presents navigational challenges for this and other reasons. Typically reserved for experienced charter captains’, trusting the chart is a must for embarking for this island. Unlike the other islands of the BVI that offer elevations above the sea for easier sighting Anegada’s low elevation keeps it concealed behind the horizon for most of your crossing from Virgin Gorda.
Protected by shallow water and multiple reefs it is easy to understand why Anegada is not a destination for the novice. Trusting the chart and approaching slowly and cautiously will however result in your safe arrival at a large and open mooring field. The low elevation provides little protection in this exposed anchorage so wind and weather should be considered when adding this destination to your itinerary. As you motor your dinghy quietly across the anchorage the night sky will catch your gaze as the intensity of starlight, and star bright in this remote corner of the BVI will leave a lasting impression of the beauty, remoteness, and simplicity of Anegada.
