First off I want to say THANKS! to all of the wonderful folks who have answered my questions and offered tips & advice. I really appreciate it. Now here’s my latest question - We are sailing Out of the Blue on Sat 6/1 but only 8 will make the noon departure. 2 more are coming into Road Town on Sun 6/2 via the last Fast Ferry from STT. We need to figure out the best spot to pick them up that’s close to ferry dock for them & easy for us to get in & out of. What are your thoughts? And should we just use the dinghy & shuttle them from dock to boat? TIA for your help.

Roger Zouhar When our ferry arrived at the customs dock a private boat was trying to stop at a slip close by and the customs officials were having no part of it and angrily waved them off. Like Reply 2w

John Vernon Roger Zouhar an easy option is to choose a bay/marina on Tortola and have your next Day arrivals take a cab and meet you at that location.

Larry G. Vaughn When I have folks who arrive a day or more late, I meet them at Trellis Bay. If they can fly into Beef Island Airport they can literally walk to Trellis Bay. If they arrive in Road Town, It's about a 30 minute cab ride from the ferry terminal to Trellis Bay. In the interim, you can sail to Cooper Island, or Marina Cay, and still be close to Trellis. I've done this many times and it always works well.

What is “OPERATION SAIL IT FORWARD BVI”?
FACEBOOK URL: https://www.facebook.com/groups/395158714235374/ BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE CATAMARAN COMPANY IN THE BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS.
The Catamaran Company formed this Facebook Group soon after Hurricane Irma in December 2017. It was formed for our Charter Guests to ensure they could support the local economy after a very destructive Category 5 hurricane named “IRMA” that took place in September 2017. Many of The Catamaran Company Charter Guests felt compelled to return immediately to the BVI post-IRMA to ensure they could continue to connect with local efforts and volunteer on the ground. By booking a charter and going sailing meant they could support the local economy, to do some good and have a sailing vacation at the same time. Each charter vacation was documented on the Facebook Group with images, video, tips, and local advice while Guests were sailing on their vacation and posts were shared with others through the Facebook Group who were waiting to return to the BVI. Today, OPERATION SAIL IT FORWARD BVI is used as an informational platform to better charter vacations with tips on how to get to BVI’s, itinerary advice, anchorage info, new spots open, provisioning tips and more. ‘OPERATION SAIL IT FORWARD BVI’ is a group dedicated to Charter Guests sharing their sailing experiences whilst on vacation in the British Virgin Islands. Not only does it enhance your vacation while underway but also makes the sailor more prepared prior to arrival. At the same time, we are supporting the local economy after hurricane “IRMA” by chartering a boat in the British Virgin Islands. Search “OPERATION SAIL IT FORWARD BVI” on Facebook Groups.

On day two of our time in the islands and we went to Oil Nut Bay for the first time. We went to the new dockside restaurant, pool and lounge area and it did not disappoint! The place was incredibly well done and the service was amazing. Jackie rocks - incredible story of her survival during Irma and we were so moved we had to jump up and give her a hug. Everything was beautiful and we will definitely be back!

Lisa Eberle Ok I’m soooooo glad you visited here Colt - I am living vicariously.. and you solved a mystery on another members pic at night on those side “ tramps” I could not figure out what that was... lol I knew it wasn’t a boat lol Like Reply 1d
Kelly Winters Luedde Lisa Eberle it was beautiful! The side tramps were a great addition and they have lighting - it’s probably really pretty at night. Here are a couple extra pics I took of the gift shop, market and library Like Reply 1d

Trey Hiers What was the approach like to the marina? Was it well marked now? I can't find anything on the charts about getting to the marina. Like Reply 1d
Sarah Radcliffe Gross Bad pic of the map we got when we went. Channel is really well marked. We did see a few cats anchored outside the channel. Marina is located on the Bitter End side - some distance from full resort.
