We booked our flights two months ago and got great fares ($463 roundtrip from RDU to STT). We arrive in St. Thomas early afternoon and will do a sleep aboard at CYOA (Frenchtown), ready to leave the first thing in the morning. Unfortunately, the options for 2 of our crew coming from SFO are dismal! Because of travel time and time change, they will have to overnight (or take redeye, not a great way to start 10 days on a boat) to STT. I thought that perhaps they could overnight in ATL or MIA and we could meet them our second day either in Tortola or somewhere moored/anchored off of St. Thomas. Thinking that our first day of sailing we could sail from Frenchtown to somewhere where a taxi could bring them. This is our first time starting in St. Thomas so haven't looked to see if there is a good first day of sailing/exploring so that crew can meet us mid-afternoon the day after we leave from Frenchtown. They could fly into Beef Island but again, the fares are ridiculous. Don't really want to give up a whole day waiting for them nor ask them to leave a day early or take the redeye from SFO. Any recommendations for a good sail from Frenchtown to a meeting spot on St. Thomas accessible by taxi from STT? Thanks!
