BVI info

Post by mje113 »

Long time lurker and very occasional poster.

We're booked for our 3rd trip to St. John in December--bringing two other couples who've never been. Very excited but it's a long time to wait.

That brings me to my question--we're actually going to satiate our island desires by going sailing for a week in the BVI's next month. We've never been so I'm trying to dig up some information.

I was wondering if anyone can suggest a forum similar to this one (that covers the BVIs), or a book similar to FF4WD? We will be spending most of our time (I think) on the boat and we're avid snorkelers, so at a minimum I want to figure out some prime snorkeling spots.

Thanks!
Mike

Try travel talk online. There's a site for sailing in the BVI. Lot's of information from sailors who frequent the BVI.

A must have for your trip is the Cruising Guide to the Virgin Islands. Be sure to order the most recent addition. Most charter fleets have them on the boats, but I would purchase before hand so you can become familiar with all the different anchorages and to help plan your itinerary. Have a great trip!
