It is roughly a 15 mile sail around STT to the North End of STJ. In January the sunset will be right at 6 PM. I know Twanger has done it many times, but he is underway sailing a CYOA boat to the SVI. Not much help - sorry.
Christmas Cove is always a back up if you get a late start.

ericlut said: Thanks everyone! Looks like several doable options even with a mid-afternoon start. Eric you have already received good info. North Shore St John should be doable with an early morning arrival. The captain and first mate are the only ones that have to be here for the briefing you can send other crew to the store during the briefing if you have them available. We also have provisioning service available if you don't want to mess with the shopping and speed up the process. Let me know if you have any specific questions we will be glad to help. Jay #mycyoa

We did just this last week and it was absolutely no problem. We also did the same in January and had no problem picking up a mooring around 5PM. January is shoulder season and less busy than December and February. We love Christmas Cove and routinely anchor in the west end outside of the mooring field. Its a very nice spot that is well protected.
Cheers, RickG

We have done this exact leg many times. (never a problem) Love Christmas Cove as our last night stop on the way back in to either Island Yachts or CYOA

Did they move CYOA and Maho to the BVI? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Shocked.gif" alt="" />

LOL! No but you can see it from there!
When I first replied I did not even realize I was in the BVI section. Then when I did I had to laugh to myself and wonder why it was a BVI post.
Bottom line is they got some good info!

Posting in the BVI forum probably will elicit responses from both USVI and BVI sailing folks - a number of the BVI members have chartered from the USVI in the past and can have good input but they may rarely check the USVI forum - I think most of us based in the USVI do read both forums regularly since we often spend time sailing in both jurisdictions.
