Subaque,
Oh boy..... I really try hard not to jump on anyone's post. But in this case I'm not able to let it slide.
Kryssa - please don't listen to ANYTHING Subaque wrote. Your plans sound great. You should definitely see about getting certified. I sailed since I was about 8. And still found that I learned a lot of things when I took the ASA classes at 50.
And even after you have certification you should definitely take on a captain for the first day or two or however many days it takes to make you comfortable. There is nothing fun about being even a little bit in over your head - stress is not a vacation.
I don't know anything about classes in the BVI - I'm sure there are others here that can comment on that.
take care!
Life's short - sail more!
