Soggy Dollar Bar - White Bay - Jost Van Dyke, B.V.I.

Claiming to be the originator of the "painkiller" cocktail, the Soggy Dollar Bar sits on the white sand beach of White Bay.
As the water and beach are both irresistible it's not surprising that many patrons swim in to enjoy Nick's cocktails as they lounge in the sunshine.
It was funny to see the money pegged up to dry on the line behind the till.
We agreed these painkillers tasted best, perhaps it was the ample amount of freshly grated nutmeg that made them so enjoyable; certainly the surroundings didn't hurt.
The Virgin Islands are home to the largest number of charter boats in the world. Sadly the charter company, "Moorings", was at work removing from the reef in White Bay, one of their fleet - a 50 foot Beneteau.
There goes one unlucky skipper's deductible.
