Are you going to be staying over night on the boat or staying on land? There are not a lot of sailors on here, so logistics for getting places from a sailing perspective will be difficult for most of us. Carol Hill

Simpson Bay lagoon is probably the largest concentration of yachts in de ilons. This forum will tell you everything you need to know about what to do onshore.
