Mere specks in the Caribbean, the US and British Virgin Islands sit within eyesight of each other. The Stars and Stripes flutters over St. Croix, St. John, and St. Thomas and the Union Jack over Tortola, Virgin Gorda, and the outer islands, but all offer tropical sun, soft sand beaches, and turquoise sea. In both territories motorists drive on the left, a decidedly British practice, while the US dollar serves as legal tender. However, each island has its own ambience, from the bustle in St. Thomas to downright sleepiness in the outer BVIs.

The only way to travel around the British Virgin Islands is on your own sailing boat. The sailing is easy as you are never far from land and some of the stop offs are amazing. To reach The Soggy Dollar bar you have to drop anchor in the shallow bay, so it's a case of putting the money in your hand and diving off the boat for the short swim to the bar. Once there, the barman hangs your cash on his washing line, and you settle down in this quiet beach bar for a few beers.
