One of the wonderful things that a ST start offers a charter is the chance to anchor for the first night at Leinster Bay/Waterlemon Cay.
Simply, quietly, most beautifully, one of the premier anchorages, anywhere. No shoreside amenities, no hoopla, nothing but wonderful swimming, snorkeling, beach exploring, land exploring, and for a First Night, getting familiar with the boat, your provisions, your storage, the galley, the refrigeration, your cabins, and perhaps just sitting in the cockpit with friends after dark and marveling that, yes, we ARE here.
It is a great place for a first night out of ST and both Jost and West End are very close for a morning clear-in.
Pillsbury Sound will be what it is. If it proves to be more sporty than you appreciate, anchoring on the N shore of St John is a welcome end to that first day, letting everyone relax and enter the " chill out " zone.
Take heed, as close as Jost and West End may be, the cut between Tortola and St John can be equally " sporty". If you want to do both in the same day, more power to you.
