Your bags do come off the ferry at West End to clear customs but they
are reloaded and make the run up to Road Town with you. You are in
sight of them all the time.


What bothers me is that the bags are "inside" between immigration and
customs and everyone ahead of me is milling around while I'm stuck
behind some tourista with a screaming kid who didn't think to dig out
her passports until she was standing in front of the immigration officer.

I haven't been through the new "Beef Island International" airport yet
but it used to be the same or worse up there as at West End.

You will see a lot of motoring down there. grin Incidentally, my
suggested itinerary is at http://www.skolnick.org/sail2.shtml. YMMV, but
I try to avoid Norman Island on the first night to avoid the crowds and
so day two has less beating.

Agreed. If we get a late start we do the Indians and then head for the
back side of Peter for the first night. We can usually get Key Cay or
White beach all to ourselves. Another good first night spot is Little
harbor on the frond side of Peter. Very quiet and private unless the
Puerto Rican Navy is on manouvers. :-)

We had nestled down in there one afternoon when just at sunset 6 big
sport fishers with a total of 27 kids, 12 grandmas, 10 TV sets, a boom
box and a big barking dog pulled in. I hate to confess but it was
almost full moon so we violated the night sailing ban and moved down to
the Bight.
