Hi...finally getting back and on the water! We have been blessed to have been there twice before with friends who sailed and took care of the planning. This trip its our turn with 2 other couples who have never sailed/experienced the BVI before. We hope to give them a little bit of the land and water experience. We are on a 44ft cat out of BVIYC with a captain. We are trying to do as good a job as our friends did with thinking of everything and planning wonderful trips for us. They have been there about 20 times so it was a little easier for them <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />
We arrive in STT on AA @ 3:30 catching the first ferry we can for a sleep aboard that night. Hoping to have enough time to provision food/booze and grab a bite to eat that night. Get it out of the way and let the relaxing start in the am.
Is that realistic? We could get the food in the morning but will need booze for that night. Looks like liquor stores close @ 5 ~ can we grab what we need for the night in STT and bring a bottle or 2 with us? What do you suggest? (We will be having RW deliver water/heavy stuff that night) Do they sell booze in the airport?
Current route we are thinking
S ~ Cooper
Sun ~ Bitter end on a slip or Saba mooring. Will let others/capt decide. Slip is nice to be able to easily get on shore.
MON ~ get to Leverick early/ rent a car explore/Hog Heaven lunch and hopefully the Beans show. ?? Re: Baths, go by road or stop on Sunday on our way to BE from Cooper?
TUE ~ Anegada ~ Cow Wreck and maybe hunt for the pile of conch shells.
WED ~ JVD..usual spots in White Bay. Is the bubbly pool worth it in May? Any easy way to get to the new bar on Little Jost?
TH ~ CGB ~ rent a car/Smugglers/Bomba and Bananakeet
F ~ thinking stay in CBG for a lazy last beach /boat/ bar hop night. This could be a flex day with Scrub or MC maybe.
Few comments:
We had thought about doing BE / Anegada/ Leverick as a switch up and not 2 nights in the same area but we loose the Beans show and I think VG is busier on Sundays with the locals off ~ Savannah Bay.

We also could move Cooper to our last night but my impression was that CGB has good music on Friday...little more fun for a last night.

We will leave it to the capt to suggest spots to stop along the way at to snorkle

We fly out [email]Sunday@4:40[/email] and our last night is on St John.
We asked and could be dropped off in St John if we get a capt that can go to the US. While that gives us more time on Sat on St John and maybe a fun Friday night in the Hurricane Hole area I am not sure that we want to give up part of our last day on Friday doing the whole customs thing. Thoughts? Also, if they were going to let us get off in St John I am wondering if there is any advantage with the ferry to see if we can get off the boat in WE.
Our hope for our last day on St John is to get there about 1 ~ grab a jeep and drive around the island...but that is subject to our ambition level.

Thanks for any comments!
