Hey Pearson,
Not sure where you're at in VA but you may want to check out Annapolis. I did a 2 day Cat/Bare Boat combo course a few years ago for the same purpose, prior to my first sailing trip. I did it with Sail Time since they had a small Bay Cat to take out. Good peace of mind for me before heading to BVI (but prob not necessary with your experience).
Thanks Brian. Annapolis is easily within reach but I haven't considered Sail Time. I'll look them up. I did contact a charter agency out of Annapolis but a 3 day charter was way too expensive. My experience is dated, an older boat, few of today's modern systems like this new fangled self-tailing winch fad, so getting hands on, I believe, will greatly improve everyone's trip.
