British Virgin Islands: Funny Story

Submitted by Henna Castle on the 2022 winter session program in the British Virgin Islands sponsored by the School of Nursing…

Funny story! This picture was taken on Jost Van Dyke Island at the Soggy Dollar. It got the name because boats have to dock far out in the water, forcing people to swim into the beach. When they reach the sand, all of their money is wet (or soggy) when they go to buy food. We had just swum onto the beach and were posing to take a picture with the UD flag when two women approached us with huge smiles on their faces. Turns out they are both UD graduates, one of them was even in the nursing school here! This just proves that no matter where you are, you can find a Blue Hen.
