4 adults, ages 58-64, healthy and active, 2 are novice sailors, but have been out with us 6-8 times including 2 overnights. Planning on a mix of eating aboard and dining ashore. Chartering a 4 year old Jeanneau 440 with slightly deeper draft, 5’2”, from BVI yacht Charters. We’ll have a captain aboard the first day. Snorkeling, exploring, cocktails, hiking, we are pretty adventurous.
We have an itinerary, but I prefer to go where the wind takes us. That said, planning on a full moon party in Trellis on day 3, stops at Peter, VG, and Jost for sure, not Anegada this time. My wife is the planner, that’s her thing. I like to say she won’t get out of bed without a plan, but truth is she’s very good at it. The Willie T, Soggy Dollar, Saba Rock, and BEYC are on the radar, but not in stone. Hidden gems can be some of the best, and crowds can tarnish the experience, in my opinion.
After debating options, we decided to fly through MIA to EIS. Maybe a mistake, maybe not, but that’s done.
We going to be in Tortola one night, then on board one night before heading out the next morning for 8 days. Back to base for final evening aboard, leaving the following morning.
We have a lot of anchoring experience, mostly mud, clay, and some sand. Very limited mooring experience, but extensive docking in all conditions, so we anticipate, communicate, and coordinate well as a team.
