We'll be crossing paths for sure ... we hit the water on December 3rd and are planning some of the standard stops. Norman Island, North Sound, Jost Van Dyke, and Soper's Hole. Have always loved the BEYC, but we aren't holding out much hope this time around. As far as sailing conditions go, we've always chartered in this time frame in the BVI so have nothing to compare it to. Mostly great sailing conditions, I'd say.
