Great trip report. Thanks for posting. It's the combination of the small things like watching the sunrise with a cup of coffee and your spouse, the overall beauty of the area, the snorkeling, the great restaurants/beach bars and the wonderful people you meet that make this place special, and your report captured all of that.

For the first night with a sleep aboard, our crew has been to the Tortola Sports Club that xrayman67 mentioned and have taken the dinghy across as GeorgeC1 suggested (we tried it based on GeorgeC1's previous mentions of this idea) and both are great options. The sports club is very casual with good food (nothing too fancy), fairly quiet, and the people are great. Taking the dinghy across was a lot of fun, and there is a good place to dock the dinghy. Just go straight across and meander along the shore's edge - you will find it.
