Great Walker,
Been a couple of years since we talked with you and Bell. Always good to see your flags flying as we drive up!

Dirichlet said: Yep. I have a crew of 20 aboard two boats. I'll be sailin' "Jus' Chillin" (Voyage 600) and my buddy Happ is captaining the other, "Summer Breez" (Voyage 520).
Tentative Schedule: 8th: arrive Soper's Voyage base, sleep aboard 9th: Bight / Willy T. 10th: Leverick via Baths or Dogs 11th: North Sound / Saba, Sandcastle, BEYC area 12th: Anegada 13th: JVD area via fishing the north drop <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> 14th: JVD area 15th: back to base early for flights home
I believe my TTOL flag gave up the ghost on the last charter - it frayed apart beyond all use. However, look for the piratefish flag (my avatar) on the port spreader <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" /> We will be on Reef Song at the dock on the 10th ...love to meet you

We are there April 2-12 on Outback from Captains Compass. We have no real itinerary! We will just figure it out day by day...

Julie (CottageGirl) ... If we could provide the functionality on bvimariner.com so that people could enter their location (long/lat), vessel name, etc. after mooring/docking for the evening and this was made available to fellow mariners, would you find this useful? As our stated goal is to provide accurate and easy to access data that is useful for those crusing the BVI, I think this makes sense ... i.e. knowing where fellow BVI Mariners are moored nearby can be helpful in the case assitance is needed (e.g. dinghy outboard having issues, ran out of marguerita salt, etc.). Thoughts? Thanks - Mark

Arriving 4/27 will be "land based" this year staying at Big Apple/Apple Bay on Tortola (there will be 4 of us) leaving Friday May 5th (I think). Please drop on by if your in the area. With a day trip to Anegada May 3rd other than that one day at a time! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

Maria_and_Steve said: I am amazed at all these itemized schedules. Wow! Is there any leeway for bad weather? Just curious. I have a schedule. I'll stick to it if I can. If I can't, I'm familiar enough with the BVIs to find an alternate place (or just stay put). That alternate place would depend on the type of inclement weather (would a downhill run be possible?), where we are, what day of the week is it (e.g. is it getting close to the end of the charter, etc.). There are as many variables in there as there are alternate places to go... so, to avoid you having to read the 15 possible bailout places for each day/scenario, I've simply posted our intentions <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" />

Are you chartering directly with the owner (or are you the owner)? I didn't realize Moorings gave you the name of the boat you will be on before arrival. We will also be on a Moorings 4800 starting May 27. Let me know if your boat has any quirks when you return in case we get her. Thanks and have fun! Suzanne
