We're planning a bareboat charter in BVI. We're in the early planning
phases. Tentatively we'll charter a monohull in mid-January for one week.
We also plan on diving.

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a cruising guide?

Only one worth getting "Cruising Guide to the Virgin Islands" by Scott. That
is the book that will be on every bareboat. For charts, the best is Imray-
Iolaire A233 has A231 on one side and A232 on the other.

But the sailing is only half the trip. If you want the best advice on
charter boats, resturants, provisioning and partying check out the TTOL BVI

I deliver boats for Moorings but I charter with BVI Yacht Charters and use
Bobby's Market for provisioning. Saves about 30% on the total trip cost.
Downloade the Excel spred sheet from Bobby's at:

Pl8.xls
and set up your order. They deliver anywhere on Tortola for free and give a
5% discount for large orders.

Complete agreement with Glenn. As you can see from my sig, we have done
the trip a few times. Another good guide is "Virgin Anchorages". The
pictures are worth the cost by themselves.
