An Island at a Time

Hi everyone.  My wife and I are proud owners of a 2018 Sun Odessey 419, "Easy Breezy".  She's in charter in the British Virgin Islands.  We hope to learn from everyone and also share our experiences.  Stay safe, healthy and well!

You are very welcome. Thanks for introducing yourself, we are all learning gets dangerous when you think you know everything 😉... Enjoy your boat and the BVI's

My boat is currently on the hardstand in the BVI and awaiting the end of the lockdown. So far belongers and work permit holders can return, but they have to stay at a government facility for 14 days (and pay for the privilege), and currently there's little hope of an influx of tourists to charter all those boats.

Which charter company are you with? Where is the boat going to spend the hurricane season?

Thank-you for your reply.  I hope this finds you well.  I saw that you're in the UK. I lived in a small town called Brackley when I was in the military many years ago. I really enjoyed it.

We weren't able to sail her this year, fingers crossed we'll be able to get family and friends out for a BVI cruise next season.  Our boat is on the hard in Nanny Cay.  She's in charter with BVI Yacht Charters.  Here's a link to her www.bviyachtcharters.com/yachts/easy-breezy-sun-odyssey-419/.  There's a video of her on the website.  She arrived early and was showcased at the 2017 Fall Annapolis Sailboat show.  

We plan on a full time life aboard in a few years.  Current plans are to make North Carolina or Virginia home, then sail the Caribbean.

What are your plans once the new normal kicks in?  Again, thank-you for your reply.
