Twanger: We were at Culebrita and Culebra last Easter weekend. I thought everyone went to the BVI for Easter. Evidently not. It was packed solid. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />

We've been to the SVI mostly in the summer months and have seen nothing remotely like that. Last August we were anchored in Bayo Tortugas and there were only 4 boats there after 4pm. The trip before we spent the night alone there!

We've been twice, May and June. Over the 3 day weekend for Memorial day in May there were a lot of boats rafted up but we still had plenty of room to anchor. In June much less crowded. Due to the PR economy many have mentioned that there seems to be fewer of the large motor yachts out and about. Unless you hit a popular place on a popular holiday you'll be fine. We spent most of our time at anchor alone in most places. A few places you can learn just how good a sound system can be but those are the day trippers. Late afternoon they all go away and it's been my experience the big boats usually have grandma, the parents and the kids aboard and it's lights out pretty early.

Life involves risks, take some prudent ones (NOT with the BVI ferries)!
