A couple years ago we stayed the night in Great Harbor on Peter on the west side by the cliffs and there was some neat things to see while snorkeling on that side of the bay.

We have also experienced the same frustration in SJU so now we go down a couple days early and spend time in San Juan before heading over to Tortola. Our group really enjoys spending time there now pre-charter.

I need to book my tickets for January. There are some great prices on Intercaribbean and seaborne right now SJU-EIS.
