Depending on the wind and waves, you can do a mix of motoring and sailing, to have some fun while still getting there fairly quickly. Leaving Road Harbour, you can motor into the wind, roughly in the direction of the Baths. Then raise sail and turn more north, passing Colison Point and heading toward Mountain Point. Once you pass Mountain Point, you can start motoring again and follow the coast of Mosquito Island.

If you find that you're early and want to enjoy some more sailing, then rather than hugging Mosquito Island under power, you can keep sailing northward to line up with the entrance to Gorda Sound. On the other hand, if you do stay close to Mosquito Island, I suggest that you avoid the temptation to make a tight turn around Mosquito Rock. That would put you right next to Colquhoun Reef for its entire length, and anything that goes wrong (e.g. engine failure) could land you on the reef before you have time to react.

If you start to execute this plan and realize that it's later than you'd like, you have the option of popping into Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour for the night.
