Actually, the government claims to have "[color:"red"]more than 60[/color] islands, keys and rocks".

I did this excercise several years ago and found the claim to be true.

The devil is in the little bits and in some cases, reclaimed land. Those missing from your list are:

Road Reef Cay - where TMM is located. Hard to notice, but it is separated from Tortola by a very small bridge.

Wickhams Cay 1 - once a separate island but now part of Road Town Tortola due to land reclamation. There also used to be a couple more tiny islands in Road Harbour which were swallowed up in the land reclamations of the 1960's. Bird Cay and (I think) Dead Horse ... or something like that. There was never any place named Wickhams Cay II, but Bird Cay is part of that area now.

Road Reef Cay - The small island (past Prospect Reef heading west) just off the highway at Slaney Point. (Where all the pelicans roost.) It is only separated from Tortola by about 4 to 8 feet of water.

Carval Rock - Between Ginger and Cooper here

You already listed Carvel Rock - which is just off Cistern Point here

And ... there is also "The Carvel" ... aka Caravel Rock off Norman Island - here

Then there are the whale rocks here - Great story about how they got their name. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

Nanny Cay is actually made up of (I think) 3 small cays. Miss Peggy Cay ... and I can't remember the names of the others. I have the info somewhere. They were reclaimed when Nanny Cay was first built. They were basically just sand bars.

Red rock - at the entrance to Fat Hog's Bay.

Manual Reef Cay (aka Lil Cay) - is in Sea Cows Bay, just south of the marina.

The map was completed in 2005/2006 and I was lucky enough to get a copy of it. However, Ermin says it isn't really finished and has not yet been approved by government. They have had too many other important things to deal with.

Oyster rock is considered an underwater rock off The Bitter End ... so doesn't really count.

George, the rocks south of Dead Chest are called Governor Goat Rocks which are a group of 5 separate rocks. There is also a rock on the north side of Dead Chest called Black Rock.

casailor53, the partly submerged rock east of Marina Cay is also named Black Rock.

There are actually hundreds more named (above water) rocks that appear on a map done by Ermin Penn (who is the historian for the BVI Tourist Board) and 16 other local folks (including Ivan Chinnery) who, up until the map was done, had this local knowledge in their heads.

Hope this helps Glenn.
