Giving Thanks On Virgin Gorda


My husband and I deviated from a customary Thanksgiving in Buffalo by celebrating with friends at Virgin Gorda's relaxed Bitter End Yacht Club. Seated at a table overlooking the turquoise waters of the North Sound, we relished in the warm breeze and soft reggae music as we feasted on an island inspired Thanksgiving dinner. Although the majority of food served was a clear departure from a traditional Thanksgiving meal, the chef did prepare a number of classics including roasted turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie.
