Hello All,

Long time lurker here, finally took the time and figured out how to register. I have learned a ton from reading the TTOL/BVI forum so I am very grateful and happy to be able to participate now.

I am booking (hopefully today) a trip for June 2016. This will be my 2nd time cruising the BVIs but first time bare boating. After a ton of research and talking to booking agents I think we have settled on a Footloose 4600 with 8 people for 5 nights. I Know...not long enough, but all I could get people to commit to for our first trip. They are running great specials on the 4600 right now FYI.

I can get into detail on why we are choosing this boat but mostly it comes down to having a very green crew, only one of the guys coming with me has sailed BVI before. I want to make sure it is as comfortable as possible (I want this to be an "every couple of years" trip in the future) so we need A/C and generator. I know some of you are very passionate about the smaller charter companies and I totally respect that. For my first trip as captain I want to be in a familiar place and work with a familiar company so I think we are pretty set on Moorings/Footloose.

Most of the crew will be travelling from Charlotte, NC on 6/12 and we'll be on the boat Tuesday to Saturday.

I look forward to sharing much more about our plans and getting feedback from the great community here, but I want to keep this first post short so it will get read

I don't know how I'm going to wait 6 months!

So.... thoughts/comments/questions?
