Yes, the BVI are a really great place to sail! But no more anchoring; it's
required that the supplied mooring balls be used.

That's a great idea Curtis.
BVIs are the best entry sailing in the Caribbean.
Good choice. It can be windy, and with the sandy bottom set a long anchor rode.
And remember:
Good decisions are based on Experience.
