TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums British Virgin Islands First Time Bareboat in Mid June.

Hello everyone. I found this forum several weeks ago and have been spending a lot of time on it planning my upcoming bareboat in mid June. You guys are a great community and have been very helpful in my planning. I�ve got the first several days of basic planning down, and I am looking for some suggestions for the last several days.

This will be my first time chartering, but I did two trips as a teen with the Action Quest summer sailing program in the BVI and have wanted to go back since. I have about 30 years of offshore fishing and boating experience so I won't have a problem handling the boat.

This will be my Honeymoon trip. I�m surprising my Fianc� on where we are going, and that her best friend and her friend�s husband from college will be joining us.

I went with a Moorings PC 393 and am planning a counter clockwise trip. Here is what I have planned so far.
We are flying into STT on a Wednesday night and spending the night at Emerald Beach. We�ll catch the ferry over in the early afternoon, check in with the Moorings, and get provisioning. I�m planning on spending the night on the boat and getting an evening chart briefing so we can get going at first light.

Day 1- Head over to the Indians, and caves to snorkel. Spend the night at the Bight and hit Willie T�s up.

Day 2 � Go to the Rhone and Salt Island, anchor in Manchineel Bay and have dinner at Cooper Island Restaurant.

Day 3- Visit the Baths in the morning, then motor up to Levereck�s Bay Marinia to spend a night in a slip. Rent a Jeep and go to lunch at Hogs Heaven and explore Virgin Gorda.

Day 4- Snorkel in the North Sound somewhere and moor at Saba Rock.

Days 5-7 I don�t have planned yet, but I am leaning towards the North side of Tortola, CGB, Jost, Sandy Spit, etc.

I�ve considered Anegada, but I�m not sure if it is worth the trip up there for one night. Might have to save Anegada for another trip. Definitely want to spend a night somewhere around Jost though. Any suggestions on what to do for the Days 5-7 and where to anchor overnight?

Thanks for the help, can�t wait to go.
