Actually Nik we faced the same decision many years ago. I hadn’t sailed in a while and most experience was on the Great Lakes. Chose Red Hook and couldn’t have been happier. Relaxing late start, a beautiful night at Waterlemon St. John and then on the second day the BVI’s. The capt., crew and I became very good friends and that continues to this day even though we bareboat now and I’m taking some yacht deliveries that he might have had. Thanks Jer. If you are looking for an up scale 56’ cat PM me and I’ll send you contact info.
