Charter in BVI

Well I really enjoyed reading your account of your BVI trip. I completely agree that North Sound is one of the best (if not the best) places to go in the BVIs. In my opinion the only thing you missed was Jost Van Dyke. I chartered in May 2002 and picked up a mooring in Little Harbour in Jost and it was fabulous. Dingy''ed over to Foxy''s, did some swimming and reading (this late in the cruise) and had dinner. Try to stay away from Abe''s ... expensive!

For those interested our itinery was:
Day 1: Sail from Beef Island to Marina Cay
Day 2: Marina Cay
Day 3: Sail to North Sound, BEYC
Day 4: Rented a car and drove to Spanish Town and the Baths
Day 5: Sailed to Soper''s Hole (yes that was a long sail but great)
Day 6: Soper''s Hole
Day 7: Motored to Little Harbour, Jost Van Dyke
Day 8: Sailed to Norman Island
Day 9: Norman Island
Last Day: Return to Beef Island

The reason we went east first was because it wasn''t too far to North Sound (easternmost point of the cruise) and then we were reaching/running for the rest of the cruise.

I HIGHLY recommend at least 9 days for your charter, 7 just isn''t enough (of course 365 days would be better but taht will have to wait).
