1. Follow the navigation instruments, but USE your head.
2. Check your swells & weather data often https://www.windguru.cz/58
3. Sailors don't have itineraries, we have intentions.
3b. Don't hesitate missing an anchorage or activity due to weather. Safety & Comfort is paramount (to me).
4. Keep your head on a swivel for both situational awareness and the beauty of it ALL. I treat every BVI trip as if were my last and savor every day, regardless of any headaches you encounter. Just take it slow...
