We will be there the week of April the 14th. I hope to do the lefthand circle. Leave the Sunsail facility cross the St Frances drake passage over to Norman Island and spent the first night at the bite. Day will be snorkeling at the indians for a couple of hours then east on to the RMS. Rhone*. From there we spend the night in the harbor at Spanish town.* Then we spend Wed morning at the baths and do lunch up top. Then its onward to the leverick marina for a night at the Yacht Club. Next Morning, we ease over to SABA rock for brunch . Then its off to the Dogs for our second rendezvous dive. Then we head back to Great Camanoe for the evening. Then over to Jost Van Dyke. Back over to sophys hole then Perter Island if theres enough time. Then Back to the dock. We are so excited. Its our first charter ever.
Any advice for first timers to Charter sailing? We own a C&C 30 and have been sailing for this being our 4th season in the Charleston /Hilton head area. We need all the advise we can get.
