Good scoops on the Dogs....Thank you !
Like to add in what some of the other posters mentioned.
MONKEY POINT : Guana Island. Outstanding snorkeling !
We usually go counter clockwise on our two week BVI sailing vacations.
Leaving Marina Cay, or Scrub Island, we slide thru, (under power ) the narrow Camanoe Passage on the way to Jost or Canegarden Bay.
About a 30 minute motor from Marina Cay, or Scrub and we charge up the batteries as well. Reverse, Clockwise around the BVI, Monkey point will be on they way from Canegarden, or Jost to Marina Cay or Scrub, or VG.
There were about 10 N.P. free moorings, 1.5 hour time limit. After the mooring pick up, we have breakfast. This is early a.m. and want the sun up a bit to light up the corals and the many, many fish. We have seen very large Tarpon here, just cruising
nice and slow. There is a time limit, 1.5 hrs, but we are seeing boats now totally ignoring those limits all thru the BVI. No Resepct. Turkeys ! .
After snorkeling, we will shower off on the stern step, and get a quick fresh water washdown for bodies and snorkel gear. Usually, there will be a boat standing by, waiting for a mooring to be available . We will catch their attention, and let them know we are dropping off, and they come in and pick up our mooring. We will smile and wave and give them a thumbs up, and they happily return our greetings. Nice, ,and feels great .
The point protects the mooring field from the wind and seas, so it is pretty calm, and the marine life is abundant. We usually snorkel toward the far left side , and then slowly fin along the shore line and reef to the far right at the ' point ' .
it really is excellent snorkeling.
Our second favorite is the Indians and Pelican off Norman Island .
Others snorkel sites that we enjoy are the Caves at Norman and Cistern Point, at Cooper Island.
We have not yet snorkeled the Dogs and George Dog sounds pretty nice, depending on the wind waves and lack of chop. Maybe , this next trip in May 2019, we can make a lunch stop with some snorkeling there. Thanks for the scoops on the Dogs
