Of course mex has nothing to do with the bvi. But it wouldn’t be SA without a solid thread drift. love to get this back on track...

thanks, that is good info/helpful

I’m more bemused by my country’s rules. How is it safer for the US to allow people to enter via a ferry from Tortola->st thomas->us mainland than a plane? If you want virus security, have good security not porous half-assed security. 

Keen insight. 

Just wondering if anyone has actually gone through it. At the moment you have to: get travel insurance get negative test 5days before entry take another test upon arrival quarantine for 4 days take another test on day 4 wait for results of 4th day test then you can get off the boat...

Trying to get a better handle on the practical logistics and what you can/can’t do these days. thanks

The canadian entries didn't decide not to compete because Mac island would be off limits.  It is tough for them to compete when the Canadian's have closed their border to all non-essential, and sailing is considered non-essential.  So US boats that have Canadian residents as crew members have to...

Anegada worth the hump?

It has been 10yrs since I've raced in the BVI, I did it annually about 10times, but that has to be 10-15yrs ago. This year 3 families have chartered a cat out of Tortolla.  We will go Sat->Sat, 2:3 families have extensive sailing experience.  There will be 7kids ages 6-13 on board.  Any...

not certain if this is the correct place to post, but thought others would also have interest in something so positive.  Let's hope it works...

Not sure if I should post here or in cruising anarchy (If in the wrong place please feel free to move with my apologies). Three families are thinking of chartering a cat in the BVI this spring (6 adults 7kids 10&under).  We have been saving and talking about this for a while and it seems...

Just wondering who the Sailing Anarchy masses are pulling for and why...
