Glen,
Thanks for the clarification. The web page I looked and also the cruising
guide weren't very clear on rules for private yachts. Guess they cater to
charter yachts. I don't plan to import any food, just the provisions we
have on the boat. So I will put BVI back on the list so we can go to
Sidney;s and Foxys.


Sidney's and Foxy's are just the beginning. The islands are heavily
bareboat oriented so there is a place to party or have a great meal almost
every where. You really need 3 or 4 weeks to cover everything in the BVI.
Soggy Dollar is a great afternoon watering hole (except on the weekends).
Corsair's down the beach from Foxy's serves great food. Quito's in Cane
Garden Bay Friday and Saturday nights are always a party. The C&F in Road
Town for the Caribbean's best BBQ ribs. Then you have to get to Anegada for
at least a couple of days. Neptune's Treasure serves a lobster omelet to
die for and the conch fritters at Big Bamboo are the best I have ever eaten.
If the first mate is on the verge of mutiny Brandywine Bay for a really fine
meal will get her back in line and if you are feeling really rambunctious
try the Willy T at least one night.

Provisions are a little higher than Ponce or Fajardo but much lower than
further down island. Road Town Wholesale is a good place to stock up before
heading for St. Martin and points south.

I know about all those places. We have done bareboat charters many times
in BVI and the windwards in the last 15 years. This will be the first
time taking our own boat.
