Not that I don't love a good sail to wind, but there is plenty to do for 10 day in the SVI's. Might be best to save USVI's for a trip chartered out of STT. I've made the crossing a number of times and it can be mild or wild. But I would not want that to be someones first time out or at laest not early in the trip(let them get their sea legs) Just MHO We'll be there for 2 weeks in Nov and Dec '14, anyone else be there?
