Just completed our first charter in the BVI, had a wonderful time and hopefully I'll get some time soon to post some pictures and trip report. We were in the BVI the last 2 weeks in February, and I'd say 7 out of 10 days we were seeing wind over 20 knts with some days gusting close to 30. This made for some days with tough beats fighting 5-6 ft chop, and while most of our party were ok, a few were seasick or close to it. For the latter part of the trip we kept the main reefed and one day with the 2nd reef in hit 9.9 knts on a deep broad reach down the channel. Kinda fun with a 46 ft Cat. On board our daily joke was "just another beautiful 15 knt breeze"... A few days we were one of only two or three boats sailing in the channel, and some of those were likely motoring. I believe our conditions were atypical for this time of year? Is that accurate? If not maybe a monohull next time? TIA
