From one in BVI today, make sure you and your guests remember that any itinerary is highly subject to change. Case in point, we are in the middle of two extremely heavy weather days (read heavy as near constant 25+ knot winds and reported 8-10’ North swell) that is not conducive to any open water sailing or any northern exposure shore like Cane Garden Bay, Marina Key, Anagada, etc. Throughout the islands, every has hunkered down to ride out the weather. Even getting to shore to restaurants in the dinghy is less than pleasant. We have 10+ trips to the islands and this is as disruptive to our itinerary as we have ever had.

I have an eye patch somewhere (along with my stuffed parrot... ) from a Halloween party a few years back.
