Re: Suggestions for first-timers to BVI

Just got back from a week in BVI on a Moorings boat.

Instruckings were to keep the dump valves closed when in port or or moored. Open the valves to discharge the holding tanks when out.

Re: Reality Check: Is the Liveaboard Lifestyle Possible for US?

Given your plans (south Pacific, Caribbean, South America, etc) and your budget ($3500/month) you are pretty much limited to sail.
