My first trip was also in 1977 on a Moorings boat. Don't remember the boat. What I do remember were two glorious days in an empty North Sound. That and our water pump impeller failing as we came through the cut between Virgin Gorda and Moskito Island ( which was allowed at the time). I think there were only two boats anchored besides us at Bitter End, which itself only had the original six cottages if I remember correctly. No other boats to be seen anywhere!
