There have been some interesting recent posts/discussions about increased C&I patrols, gun and drug running and crime in general in the BVI. That got me curious. Over the years, we've never had a personal encounter with criminal activity down there. I do remember several years ago reading about a couple who was horribly assaulted at one of the southern St. John anchorages, but I've not otherwise run into folks who have had bad experiences. Of course, our charter company reminds us on every trip to secure the boat against petty theft, but even that has not been an issue.
So what's your collective experience? With the increase in crowds and other local factors, is criminal activity spilling over to affect charterers? Are there destinations that any of you avoid for this reason?
