Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience!


We've been sailing the VI for many years. I don't know that we've ever seen a mosquito out on the boat either sailing or at anchor/mooring. However - we still come prepared and bring a can of spray with deet just in case.
On land is a different story - mostly sand fleas at the outdoor restaurants.


Life's short - sail more!
