How about this for starters...I am on the powercat side as well and frequent flyer
Day 1 Cooper (or even Peter as I find Cooper overrated) Day 2 Leverick - taxi to Baths in afternoon and then eat at Coco Maya Day 3 & Day 4 - Anegada Day 5 Marina Cay Day 6 - Cane Garden Bay after Guana Island snorkeling Day 7 - Diamond Cay Jost Van Dyke - can take taxi to Great Harbour or White Bay Day 8 - Norman island...
just throwing this out...if you PM I will send you my trip plans

I second Bailau’s itinerary with a few twists: one night at Leverick to do Baths and Coco Maya and then one night at BEYC. IMHO Leverick is overrated (like Cooper). Sure the upstairs restaurant is good but the rest is average. Yes to two nights Anegada and trip to Horeshoe Reef and maybe kiteboarding at Anegada Beach Club if any of you are into that - my daughters and husband take lessons there. You can snorkel Guana enroute to Cane Garden Bay - Indigo Beach House there is fabulous. Diamond Cay at JVD allows quiet while still getting you to Soggy via taxi.
Have fun!

Good point Shifty - we never visit CGB when there is N swell.

I would highly recommend you purchase a copy of The Cruising Guide To The Virgin Islands, by Simon Scott. New editions are published annually and it is loaded with great information and tips. Great resource. You can get it on Amazon for around $32. totally agree...I have a few lying aorund if you cant find it

Good point Shifty - we never visit CGB when there is N swell. this is where I learned what the swell is the hard way...went to bed in calm seas and woke up in the night going straight up and down...cleaned out my shorts and then as it settled went on this site and learned from the best what the h*** happened Weather (and any predcited swell) is posted here https://marine.weather.gov/MapClick.php?zoneid=amz715#.YwEGrXbMJ3jOP-are you bareboating?
