We will be there during the same timeframe. Double check the cruise ship schedule because I know the last time I checked there were a couple scheduled that Tuesday and Wednesday . That might have an impact on your CGB stop if you go counter clockwise. I don’t recall the cruise ship schedule links I’ve seen on here but a quick search should help you.

In May, the winds are usually 11 to 20 out of the NE. and can be SE .
Bailau has a 52 ft, powercat as well.
We have sailed both clockwise, usually counter clockwise
Cruise ships in May......MAY 8, May 21 May 23. and Cane Garden will be swamped with cruise ship passengers.
this trip we plan on counter clock wise, but we are sailing, and enjoy the spirited sails up the Sir Francis Drake Channel .
Leaving road harbor... 1st afternoon and night......WILLY T......GREAT HARBOR Fairly short distance, 36 ft. sail. Getting there ASAP for a Mooring
Then, that great sail up to LEVERICK BAY, and a couple of days there. BBQ, band, dancing on Friday night.
And continue counter clockwise for the rest of the two weeks.

Erica and I will be on a 36 ft Jeanneau monohull........do not know the name for sure, until we get to the base .
I understand that you are PADI Certified and do a lot of diving in the BVI......excellent.
Erica is certifed , open water, advanced, up to rescued diver, and she coaxed me into getting my PADI open water a few years back before we went to Australia. she wanted to us share diving the Great Barrier Reef and Coral sea as dive buddies.
Dive School was here in Socal and she also joined me for all of the classes and cert dives, since it had been a while since she was SCUBA diving.
Should you be headed that way in the future, highly recommend the Spirit of Freedom, 4 day live aboard, luxury dive boat. Great crew, great boat, up to 4 to 5 dives a day......we kept it down to 3 . Other very neat fellow divers. Treated us to meals after each dive. Also had a trust bar, for a cold after our last dive brew.
it was amazing, You might check out their website, their office is in Cairns .

May 10th- Tortola Wickhams Cay .......what other Great Place should I go to on the May 8th instead of Marina Cay? what am I missing instead of the Tents on Marina Cay?
