The greeting part is VERY important as already mentioned. Good morning/afternoon/evening…how are you today? Makes a world of difference (and not a bad idea anywhere really but it’s part of the culture down there).

The twice the money an half the clothes…and that might be understating it. Scott’s guide is a must.

IF you can sail a few days longer…seems like the groove just gets better the longer you are on the water.

And I also agree with Anegada…I would NOT skip that location. Nor Jost and White Bay. First timers should see the Baths (but do a search on best way to visit them to avoid crowds). Saba and Bitter End…you may find a couple of anchorages that you will want to stay more than one night which is why a week isn’t enough…
