Hi All, I've been a lurker on this board since I decided I wanted to sail the BVIs, but this is my first post. We finally pulled the trigger and booked a trip! We will be sailing a Jeanneu 379 from Sunsail from May 20-25, with a checkout captain. This is the itinerary we were thinking of... but it's not the 'typical' route I have seen everywhere else online. Is this doable? Also, do you reccomend reservations at Scrubb and Leverick Marinas? That seems like it would take away our ability to switch up the route on the fly... Anyways, thanks for all the knowledge I've pick up from you all so far and I really appreciate your input on our route.
Thanks, Ken & Crew
