Sounds like our sailing plans are very similar.. Week be spending the first couple days in the BVI and then going to St John for a couple of days too!

Life involves risks, take some prudent ones (NOT with the BVI ferries)!

Salt pond is great - aside from the one time a barracuda just kept swimming closer and closer to me! I finally swam right at it and it moved away.

Left St John, ended up in CGB at Myetts for dinner and dancing. Mal tried to call no answer. Next night at Diamond Cay. Met the most interesting family the true PR Navy. 35' sail boat, no motor, 7 guys13-76 grandfather sons, grandsons and SIL. 10 days of bonding. They had sailed from PR in this salvaged boat. Just a completely fun group of guys. On to Marina Cay the next night, then on to VGYH for re provisioning. Headed to NS today for a few days. Life is good!!!

Not a wise move to talk of a woman's "appetite".

Spent a wonderful two days on the dock at Leverick. Special thanks to Nick and Monzi for a delightful afternoon at the Duck and Dive. It is so nice to have such great people for friends here in BVI. Off to Eustasia reef. More adventures
