Bareboating the BVI


In recent years, I took several trips to the British
Virgin Islands (BVI) where I rented and captained sailboats. This is
referred to as "bareboating", where the boat has all the
necessary amenities so you can live on the boat for a period of a week
or more. Click the links below to see these trips. Shown above is one
of the more popular stops on any sailing trip in the BVI. This is a
small island known as Sandy Cay and is totally uninhabited except
for those like us anchoring off the island during the day and taking a
dinghy ashore for swimming, snorkeling, exploring, or having lunch.
The island in the background is Tortola, the largest island in the BVI.
The 2003 boat (above) was a 29.5 ft Hunter. The view here is this boat
on a mooring ball at the Baths off Virgin Gorda. Below is the 38 ft Catamaran
I captained the second year (2004), docked at the home
marina at West End, Tortola.
