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!
Hey! Be nice!
I didn't say "go out and sail in a hurricane". geez.. I'm still learning.. and get this.. after sailing for 3 years on the cat my wife and I took ASA 101, 103, 104.. we tested out of ASA 101. We had to take the ASA to be able to charter in certain Mediterranean countries.
[color:"red"]The gal said she is an experienced sailor [/color] and if you think you need more than that and a day or two with a skipper you are wrong. You do not. I am proof. I knew virtually nothing about sailing and have chartered a ton now. She is experienced. She has way more knowledge about it then I ever did. And if that's the case, go sail, go charter.
