Was down three times, Footloose or SunSail. Provisioned with full regulation charts and tools ( dividers etc ) each time. There is a skippers meeting the departure morning, goes over basic stuff including expected weather. The people running the session checked with each skipper, sorted out a suggested itinerary, and with a section of photo copied chart marked it up as appropriate. Real simple, red for places to avoid and green for the approach.
Advice included which anchorage would be sheltered better, which ones would be bumpy. Seemed pretty professional.

Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1252" Chances are, the charter company will give you a placemat with a ?chart? of the BVIs before your charter, if the boat doesn?t have a chart aboard (unlikely). Kinda like the map the rental car companies give you when you check out a rental car. You can pretty much see everything from everything else there, except for Jost Van Dyke being the other side of Tortola? Anegada being the other exception. But if you?re a first-time charterer, chances are they won?t let you go there anyway. Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- on the hard in Bayfield, WI :^(
