St. Thomas USVI
We just got back from BVI. Don't know about Fanfare Charters but can tell you if you get over to the BVI side, Norman Bight on Norman Island is a great stop over. Willy T's floating bar and restaurant is a pretty 'wild' place at night, lots of fun. Just east is the Wreck of the RHONE, great dive or snorkel spot and then the Baths at Virgin Gorda, a must! You will have to clear Customs at Sopers Hole, first port you come to on BVI about a 2-3 hour sail from St. Thomas. White Beach on Jost Van Dyke Island is another fantastic spot to stop for the day and then overnight at Cane Garden Bay on Tortola. We hit the Christmas winds (20-30 k at times) but it's always at 090 so u just reef some and away you go. The locals told us the winds may stay until Feb or may be gone by Jan. It was alittle more wind than I expected but once you get out in and trim up the boat, it's not so bad. At least it's a WARM wind! Your going to have a great time where ever you end up! If you get to White Beach, have a Rum Punch and tell Gerturde "Hello" from me. Cheers! Ron
