Hey Bern,

I think you'd be able to find some seclusion in the BVI in November as long as you're willing to anchor. Moorings are more convenient (and expensive) and will likely provide the seclusion you're looking for (at least generally). The BVI is a popular destination though so you may end up with one or two neighbors! The weather may also limit your options.

On the flight side I would recommend flying into St. Thomas (STT) and taking the ferry over to Road Town. We're on the East Coast of the US and flights into STT are both faster and cheaper than flying into San Juan then Beef Island (Tortola's airport). That might be different from Vancouver though.

Good luck!

Bill
