The British Virgin Islands are one of our favourite cruising ground any where in the world! We start this passage in the BVI as we prepare for the offshore passage to the Turks and Caicos. This is a direct 3-4 day offshore passage in open ocean. Winds are usually from the east meaning following wind and seas but we can expect to keep an eye out for squalls.

Winds are usually from the east meaning following wind and seas but we can expect to keep an eye out for squalls. But before we set sail we will have a short cruise in the British Virgins to get our sea legs and get familiar with the boat. We might visit Norman's Islands and also Jost Van Dyke before clearing out at the customs there.
Landfall in the Turks will be at South Caicos where we check in, have a well deserved celebratory dinner and a good nights sleep.
Then it's 40 miles cross the shallow Caicos Bank to Providenciales. Its like being in the Bahamas with no land in sight except for the shallow sand just a couple of meters under the keel.
Building Skills and Additional Activities
Note this is a true offshore passage and we will be out of sight of land sailing non-stop for 3-4 days. We will help anyone wanting to build their skills sailing, anchoring, cruise planning, navigation, shallow water piloting, weather forecasting picking up a mooring and docking during the voyage.
On this trip we will also be offering training in the use of a sextant for those interested.
