Just received Scott's Virgin Islands Sailing Guide in Saturday mail. clapping Read it once. Sad to skip the BVI section, but happy to explore the USVI as a new destination.

Good info on mooring sites and detail of number of balls. Looks like there are a few more eating (and drinking) establishments than I thought. Though mentions in threads above of “it’s a Zoo”, to “plenty of room” are raising the anxiety level.

Wondering about a planned itinerary. Discussions of Bow Tie, multiple East - West trips, or daily day sails (North-South, starting from the southern bays?) brings several options. Not real keen on two mile power runs from bay to bay. We hope to include St. Croix too, one of the reasons for a nine night charter. Appreciate the advice to do St Croix as mid-trip, not as early trip. We’re on a Lagoon 450-F and wanna get those big flappy things up in the air, and spend quality deck time on the expanded flybridge! banana

Anybody have a suggested itinerary that they have found to hit the obvious highlights?
