We are 37 days out from our first charter in the Abacos. We are chartering a Lipari 41 through Cruise Abaco. I'll provide a full report afterwards comparing the two areas, but I'll say that the planning of the charter is much easier with the BVIs. No online provisioning in Marsh Harbour with options to have the heavy stuff delivered at your stern. I also like the Virgin Islands cruising guide much more than the Abaco one, for what that's worth. The Abaco forum is great, but I get the sense it's more power boaters than sailors, so nothing beats TTOL and the BVIs in that way. Excited for the trip and entering with an open mind. But we'll return to the BVI's in Jan 2016. After that trip, I believe we'll have our eyes set on chartering from CYOA out of St. Thomas and heading to the SVI's. All options are way better than the office conference room!
