One other thought on navigating in the BVIs: just buy a waterproof paper chart before you go, then at the end of each day, mark up your track and anchorage with date and time. It makes a really nice souvenir to look at twenty years from now; just fold it up and put it in with your photo album from the trip. People still print out photos, don’t they…? :^)
