The weather should be great. Some may disagree but this could be the best month of the year.

There is a full moon party various places that week, Check the dates. Coco Maya has their fmp on the Friday.

ok, no full moon party. The Leverick BBQ, on friday, and the ELM BBQ on sunday are still good options. Any other suggestions ?

As I said coco Maya near spanish town has their full moon party on May 8th. They sent me an email a few weeks ago confirming that. They normally do theirs on the Friday following the full moon.

Interresting. But on May 8th, we will be on a mooring at Leverick Bay. Coco Maya to Leverick bay by road, at night... Is it safe ??

You can rent a car at leverick bay for 24 hours. The drive is easy as the roads are quiet. I have done the trip at night twice. Eat at leverick, catch the jumbies and on to coco Maya? I think there fmp starts at 10. We are going to have dinner at coco Maya. The place is georgiuos.

Many on this board have rented a car and done the trip.

We have planned to rent a car and go to the Baths, it could be a good idea to dine at Coco Maya. I didn't know this restaurant. Thanks !

We have guests coming from Mtl on this trip. I believe that L & S jeep rental is recommended. We used them. They were fine. Book in advance. See their web site.

Frenchsailor, I will be at the docks at Leverick on the 7th and 8th on a Voyage 500 with a party of 10. Stop over and say Hi and I can give you some suggestions. Have been there many times and everything is safe there. Many things to do and see in the area. You will Love Leverick Bay.

I visit every year in May (and usually October), it's a wonderful time to be in the BVI! We'll be on White Bay for a week and then Virgin Gorda (Leverick) and Tortola the second week. Wheels up in 5 days, can't wait. smile
