I have been to BVI numerous times landbased and sailing. Trying to figure out a good plan for friends who won't sail. I am thinking base out of CGB, since there is a lot of bars and restaurants and a good beach, that people can walk to yet the opportunity to take day trips other places. Thoughts?? other suggestions?? we are thinking rent a house or maybe CGB cottages.

Leave them home. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />

CGB is a good base. What time of year?

I am will Hillside! Getting outside your comfort zone on vacation is half the fun.

With that being said, we have stayed on Tortola twice and did day trips. We stayed at the Sugar Mill and The Heritage Inn. We always, always make it to CGB on each trip (read as multiple times each trip). Makes me wonder why we never used it as a base since we always end up there. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />

You might consider Apple Bay depending on the time of year...you could come and go out of Soper's ( just over the hill) while they enjoy our lovely neighbourhhod..

Easier to find friends who sail than to teach friends to sail. (or at least get them passionate about it)
