Road Town Tortola BVI May 2026

I'm JD and along with my wife Chris, we are the casual cruisers.

This is the place where Jimmy Buffett says he was inspired to write the song Cheeseburger in Paradise.

Buffett said during a Google talks event that after a 10-day voyage in the Caribbean, which included a broken main spar, when they landed in Tortoa, they found the Village K Marina restaurant.

He says that although the burgers were way overcooked and the buns that were supposed to be toasted were burnt, it was the best food they had had because back in those days, you had to carry all your supplies with you and they were running low as they limped into Torto.
