Hi all from warm, but frequently wet, BVI's.
I am a multi-year member but have rarely posted. But, the hospitality we've experienced in just the few hours we've been at Leverick Bay by host, Nick W. has made being a member well worth it.
We're at the bar awaiting to be seated for the BBQ buffet followed by the Jumbies show - our first time!
We departed Hodges Creek on Sunday and have gotten wet each day with some squalls hitting 30+ knots and causing us to run to close hatches in the middle of the night - every night! But its still the BVI's, I'm in shorts and a short sleeved shirt and it was zero degrees when we left NJ on 3/07.
Busy week here - we've been avoiding the "Yacht Week" 20 something party crowd who have 15 yachts out. And were shut out of mooring balls in Great Harbor, Diamond Cay and Soper's Hole. So the wisdom shared on TTOL about the crowded conditions has proven true for us.
Signing off and thanks again to Nick!
Joe and crew

We no longer charter (an age thingie) but we do go to Leverick for the Jumbies show...and...we take Nick guitar strings for his guitar (and Michael Bean). Light gauge silk and steel strings, Martin or D'Adario. Just a hint, nudge, nudge, as they can't get them on VG. So...I'm not saying go to your nearby music store...but...a favor is a favor... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/circle.gif" alt="" />

Nick and Monica have always been top notch hosts! We make it a point to stop there every trip. Last trip we stayed landside in a Leverick villa and truly got to experience the great folks at Leverick!

Steve, I was thinking the same thing. I have seen him play air guitar filling in for Beans one night, hilarious. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />
