And sail2wind, I appreciate the heads up on the direct VG to St. Thomas .. I believe that will work well for us. Cheers!

It was the words ferry and punctual used in the same sentence I found humorous. I'm laughing as I type this! Life involves risks, take some prudent ones (NOT with the BVI ferries)!
