We are still tossing the idea of a day sail around, but would also like to find out who we could sail with for a trip to the Baths and possibly lunch at Willie T's. Any info on this trip and who does this schedule?
Thanks again...

I highly recommend Clark Beam on the White Wing. You can reach him through Connections. I've sailed with him about 6 or 7 times and no one knows a sailboat like Clark. He's a great guy and an amazing sailor. He'll be great for your day sail.

I totally agree that Clark and White Wing do a fine job BUT sailing to the Baths and stopping at the Willy T --- on a sailboat in a day! --- including time,wind,distance,stopping for lunch,snorkeling,visiting the Baths and Customs [both countries] is virtually impossible - it is a power boat trip - no question.

You're probably right but if anyone can do it Clark can. Wouldn't hurt to check it out.

Sorry but Virgin Gorda and Back just ins't going to happen a sailboat daytrip. It took Deb and I 5 hours to sail from Caneel to Cooper one way counting a stop for customs at Soper's. The Baths would have taken another hour easy, again this is one way.

The only way I can see you doing this trip on a sailboat from St. John would be if you leave from Coral Bay. Even then, it could be a long day.

Well, Clark DOES sail out of Coral Bay. CALL!!!!!

I had actually already emailed Capt. Clark before I did this thread...but havent heard back from him. We sailed with him our last trip.(see pics in the link below) He has a few other schedules we like as well. We are trying to decide bewteen a sail around STJ or go to the Baths and Willie T. I know it would be best to take a power boat to get to the Baths and by the Willie T. And a sail boat around STJ...As of now We're just checking out all the options..even had the thought of taking the Ferry over to Virgin Gorda..

Captain Clark with White Wing is not sailing this year. He is in the process of building his house and he told me his wife says no sailing until the house is finished! We went out with him in 07 and he was great.

Anyone recomend some one else to go sailing with?
