NGAWolf - I like your plan as it would allow us to be at Leverick on Friday for the BBQ I've heard so much about, but that would mean reversing the direction (clockwise) and I've read that we shouldn't do that being new to the area. We're pretty experienced sailors having owned 25' - 41' monohulls for 20+ years. But our sailing experience (area wise) is limited to the Channel Islands of Southern California. We're totally unfamiliar with sailing BVI. I'm thinking we need to stick with the counter-clockwise itinerary. I am going to take your idea of ending our trip with our final night at Norman though. Thank you! Would Peter Island be a good first night? I think we're removing Anegada so we'll have more time exploring the west end. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts.
