You'd probably get bored with the BVI after a few weeks.
Well depends what your needs - we are not bored with the BVI's yet and
finding lots of new places to explore and the USVI's are not far away even St
Croix is only a decent day sail away record so far is 4 hous 2 mins 47 foot
monohull.
If you just want to relax and sail and your not into shore parties and
ticking the boxes like 99% of the charter people out there the BVI's are great NOT
going to share my fave spots here :-)
As for buying a boat you will be spoiled for choice doubly so if you not
overly worried about an ex charter boat.
If you got
upwards of 6 months, why not do a bunch of the Caribbean islands. You
could start in the BVI and head down the chain, enjoying as many of the
islands as you'd want. Cheap/expensive is relative - you can be as
miserly or as extravagant as you like. After the BVI - St. Martin jump,
pretty much all the islands are line of sight.
Regarding tour ships in the BVI - they're pretty much exclusive to Road
Town - you won't find too many tourists straying far from the ship's
immediate area except for some over at the Baths.
NOT any MORE two weeks ago - cruise ships off the Baths anchored off Spanish
town and in North Sound Virgin Gorda.
in saying that never found the 'tourists' a problem though the baths can get
ridiculous at times
St. Vincent / Saba / other islands. - Like the BVI, you'll probably be
done exploring them in no time.
Cheers,
Mike
