  1. Typo, probably due to autocorrect. The cay in Leinster bay is Waterlemon Cay, not Watermelon Cay. Incorrect in both the article itself and in the photo caption.

    A note for sailors – these photos look to be pre-Irma/Maria. Looking at the Marina Cay photo in the article, it looked to me like it was pre-hurricane as it had the Pussers store, which was wiped out in the hurricanes and which looks quite different now in the video at the Scrub Island Resort web site. What you see may not be what you get.

  2. Hello Les and thanks for reading and commenting. Yes, you are correct. It is Waterlemon Cay.

    As for some pictures, yes some are pre-hurricane. As we are going back for 10 days, the follow up article will provide updates post hurricane.

    It’ll be our first time back in the BVIs since the hurricanes.
