Will you be sailing about the islands or just living on the sailboat?
I'm a firm believer that a tourist must see all the tourist sights (or
would that be sites) at a minimum, the must see component, and then
branch out to non-tourist options.

I'm planning a BVI vacation with a pirate treasure hunt theme; hopefully
it adds some flavor to the routine of just snorkeling, kayaking,
swimming, and boating in the clear warm waters of a postcard destination.
My buddy is scheduled for a cataract operation next week. He'll need a few
days to get back to normal. He just sent me another e-mail advising me to
come down before Christmas so he has time to show me around as he hopes to
be back to work after Christmas.
Vic has 3 boats I believe... a 32 foot sailboat, a 19 foot open daysailor
and something smaller. I know We'll be sailing most of the time if I go
down early next month...so I'd expect to see 'the Baths' on Virgin Gorda,
Peter Island.., Road Town on Tortola..etc .
I have to decide if I should go for 10 days or 14.

here at home)

Find some well referenced teen to help with any heavy work your wife might
get stuck with and go for 14 days; the snow storm could hit the day you
leave, somewhere in the middle, the day you come home, or not at all!
