Default British Virgin Islands Itinerary?

Marty --

Go. Be happy. Lot's of family's there, especially off season. I like
April to June myself, but haven't ever had a bad time in 20ish charter
trips. See http://www.skolnick.org/sail.shtml for my opinions on
itineraries. See http://www.traveltalkonline.com/ for the opinions of
others. Summary (from Roadtown) -- reach to Salt Island & dive the Rhone
or visit the salt ponds. Beat to Cooper Island and moor at Manchioneel
Bay for the night. Reach to The Baths on Virgin Gorda. Reach then motor
into North Sound for the night (I like Saba Rock). Sail to Anegada.
Lunch at one of The Dogs, overnight at Marina Cay. Lunch at Sandy Cay,
Sandy Spit, or Green Cay; overnight in Cane Garden Bay. Head to Jost Van
Dyke (I like White Bay and the Soggy Dollar Bar, but lots of people
prefer Great Harbor and dinner at Foxy's, and so far there are only
moorings in Little Harbor (eat at Sydney's Peace and Love)). Lunch stop
at Soper's Hole then overnight at Benure's Bay, The Bight, or Key Bay
depending on your style). Last day return your boat.

The BVI isn't the secret paradise it was 20 years ago, but it is still a
magnificient cruising ground and lots of fun.
