We always do a Tues thru Thurs charter. Crowds are much diminished, both on ferries and in airport (STT). We also do CCW, but having just done this in June, don't expect less crowded mooring situation, there are just more people boating the BVI's post-covid.
So either plan on using BoatyBall, anchoring, or getting to harbors earlier. My thinking is the pent-up demand will lessen over time, but probably not for a few years.
What CarolinaSailor said!
As far as clockwise or counter its really a personal preference question - where do you want to get to first. Unless you are trying to time a specific place on Saturday or Sunday to try to take advantage of the boat turnarounds (you might see a slight dip those days) it really wont matter much - and the mooring situations will very similar!
Have fun! The hard part for me is always the waiting!
Keep Smiling!!!
