Liane is so right. We have been sailing the BVI yearly since 1981 and for the past 20'years taken a skipper. Jimmy Hodge has been with us for the past 12 and is like a great waiter in a 3 star Michelin restaurant. Things are done and you never see him do,it and you never see him until you think of something you need and " there he is". It should not be an issue and a local skipper is invaluable.
