I was waiting to respond to the thread regarding cruisers going back to the BVI after the ports open... found it - Yacht Cruisers Speak. A forumite mentioned that they found it impossible to get a slip at a marina in the USVI. For the second time in a couple weeks I was able to get reserve a slip at Crown Bay with a week's notice. They've had slips every time we've been by to buy fuel. Yacht Haven Grande has slips starting at $5/foot. Compass Point is ridiculously sold out with Cats double parked on T-heads taking up half the channel; this is due to BVI charter operations working out of there. AYH in Red Hook is usually full with long-term tenants. Sapphire Beach does not do daily rentals. Cheers, RickG

When we had bout Beneteau 40 De Life at Independent with a 6' 9" keel we would have to get right next to the hip tied boats to stay in the channel. Even after a securite' radio call as draft restricted we would have boats trying to force out of the channel with a port to port pass. Not fun.
