- Virgin_Gorda abstract "Virgin Gorda is the third-largest (after Tortola and Anegada) and second most populous of the British Virgin Islands (BVI). Located at approximately 18 degrees, 48 minutes North, and 64 degrees, 30 minutes West, it covers an area of about 8 square miles (21 km2). Christopher Columbus is said to have named the island \"The Fat Virgin\", because the island's profile on the horizon looks like a fat woman lying on her side.The main commercial and residential area is Spanish Town on the southwestern part of the island.An unusual geologic formation known as \"The Baths\" located on the southern end of the island makes Virgin Gorda one of the BVI's major tourist destinations. At The Baths, the beach shows evidence of the island's volcanic origins, as huge granite boulders lie in piles on the beach, forming scenic grottoes that are open to the sea. North of the Baths is the Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbor, formerly owned by Little Dix Bay. The most notable ruin on Virgin Gorda is the old Copper Mine.One of the great harbors of the world, North Sound, and historically Gorda Sound, lies at the NE end of the island. It is bordered by 4 islands and connecting reef systems that keep the sound calm, creating one of the world's great watersports meccas, with over 3000 acres of protected waters. At the Eastern end of the sound is the premier anchorage, in the lee of Biras Hill (el. 435'). The village, resort, and marina at this point (Jon'O'Point) is called the Bitter End Yacht Club, and runs for approximately one mile of coastline. The sound is a famous destination for charter yachts and contains over 130 moorings. Historically renowned as well, the anchorage off Bitter End was the site of Sir Francis Drake and Sir John Hawkins' 1595 fleet rendez-vous, two Elizabethan British Admiralswho lead Britain's ascendance into naval supremacy. 26 ships anchored in the sound and used the large hill at Bitter End to practice for their attack on San Juan, to rest Puerto RIco from Spain. With both admirals dying on the 1595/1596 voyage, the land at Bitter End may be the last place that these legendary mariners set foot on British soil. Nearly all of the 200' + megayachts of the world have anchored or tied up at the docks of the megayacht-equipped marinas in this harbor. Norman Rockwell, Bridget Bardot and John Wayne's signatures are in the hotel guest book from Bitter End circa 1969.".
