Is there any good snorkeling in and around Virgin Gorda's North Sound?

Yes. Out at the reef past Saba and Bitter End.

There is a white ball for a dinghy almost at the reef to the left of the cut. From the ball and looking east we aligned with The end of. Wicker to our left and a dip in the mountain on VG.

About a 15 minute dinghy ride from Saba mooring field.

Enjoy!

There are two cannons lying on the bottom close to the mooring in Eustacia Sound. The reef is pretty battered but

I have found some good snorkeling off Honeymoon Beach on the west shore of Mosquito Island, and especially the reefs off the west shore of Necker Island.

We tried the reef past Saba last time out. It was a bit rough that day. Never found the cannons but we looked.

I was calling it BVI Art project, is Branson's Folly the "official" name? Love it.

The Kodiak Queen was her name....I heard Branson's Folly and liked it. Complete with a Kraken made of rebar to give her some pizazz. Cool right now but more to come.
