Hello old and new TTOL'ers!

I have been lurking in the shadows, reading about everyone's adventures, But, It has been many years since we last sailed these turquoise waters. Good things come to those who wait! We did have a charter booked, then cancelled when covid disrupted the world... then time simply passed. We last chartered the BVI in 2017 right before Irma, what great memories on SV Orion with my family!! I didn't give up sailing, actually moved a boat from Annapolis to Key West when a face mask was unfortunately fashionable, strange times,

With travel plans back to Italy started, this weekend our daughter texts "hey, sailing used to be OUR THING!, can we go??" Took us two seconds to reply, "YES" and after just a couple days we have a Lagoon on hold!

We are excited to start planning this July charter and I hope you don't mind that I pick your brains over the next few weeks. Feels good to be typing this, Cheers!

It is interesting, our previous trip was also in 2017 before the hurricanes. We just returned from a charter aboard a Bali 4.6 last week. Enjoy the planning and anticipation. We found a number of places to be the same as always, and then others of course completely done over - most notably Saba Rock, BEYC and Marina Cay. We had a wonderful time with ten family members on board including two grandkids (5&7 y.o.). Everyone had a blast.
