BVI: Seven Islands in Seven Days
Sunday, November 21st, 2010The BVI are one of the most popular charter areas in the world thanks to their excellent climate, crystal clear waters, and easy eyeball navigation.

Cruising The Virgin Islands – Spanish, U.S. and British
Friday, July 9th, 2010The Virgin Islands lie in the easternmost Greater Antilles, a foursome of islands in the northern Caribbean sea that includes Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti and the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico. The cruising grounds span about 70 miles and include the Spanish Virgin Islands of Vieques and Culebra, the U.S. Virgin Islands primarily of St. Thomas and St. John, and British Virgin Islands including Jost Van Dyke, Tortola, Virgin Gorda and Anegada. There's direct air service from the U.S. and Europe (through San Juan).
Anegada, the Hidden British Virgin Island
Sunday, October 25th, 2009Anegada is the northernmost island in BVI, some 15 miles north of Virgin Gorda. It hangs off the top of the chart like a wayward chad, invisible and irrelevant to anyone who doesn’t think to look for it. Many people cruise in the Virgins their entire lives without seeing Anegada even once. The crossing from Virgin Gorda, through open water, is a mental barrier too vast for many boaters to breach, especially with the “safe harbor” on the other end being the Caribbean’s largest coral barrier reef—a graveyard for hundreds of sunken boats.
