Anegada is the northernmost island in BVI, some 15 miles north of Virgin Gorda. It hangs off the top of the chart like a wayward chad, invisible and irrelevant to anyone who doesn’t think to look for it. Many people cruise in the Virgins their entire lives without seeing Anegada even once. The crossing from Virgin Gorda, through open water, is a mental barrier too vast for many boaters to breach, especially with the “safe harbor” on the other end being the Caribbean’s largest coral barrier reef—a graveyard for hundreds of sunken boats.
