As a relative newbie to sailing I can still feel your pain but as someone above said and, what I literally do, is take a deep breath and go over options before leaving the ball in the morning and repeat the phrase, Intentions Not Itineraries. Even Plan B will include sailing, a rum drink, beautiful harbors, more rum, plenty of laughs and gorgeous sunsets. Maybe a Caribe or two.

I remember our first trip after taking classes was over New Years. We barely sailed we were so intent on making our next destination. Even had a crew member comment that he wished we'd sailed more. Now we relax, try not to feel like we need to see a new island every day. Virgin Gorda and Anegada often take up a couple of days so we're not rushing.

I expect you'll have a great trip and fall in love with BVI just like we did.

Enjoy!
