A single day's range
At 20-25 knots, the Baths of Virgin Gorda, the Norman Island and Peter Island anchorages, and the Jost Van Dyke beach bars fit into one day — that is the whole point of the format. Boarding: the Road Town marinas, one of the charter capitals of the world.
Fuel and safety margin
Fuel burn rides on the throttle: on these waters, gentle-to-moderate easterly trades and line-of-sight island hopping with no long passages, and a homeward leg into the wind burns more — keep a third of the tank for the end of the day.
