It sure is. Here's the drill.
Sail to Soper's Hole on Tortola and find a
mooring. Lower the
dinghy.
Dinghy in to the West End
Customs office. Wait in line. Or wait for the agent to come back if a
ferry has come in. Fill out the forms, pay your
fees. Dinghy back to your
boat. Raise the dinghy. Time required: 1 to 1:30 hours.
Sail back to Cruz Bay. Pick up a
mooring in Caneel Bay (Cruz is too crowded to anchor). Lower the dinghy. Dinghy a mile or so in chop and
ferry wakes to the
Customs dock. Wait in line and hope that there's no ferry to process, nor rafts of boats from
Puerto Rico. Fill our your forms. Dinghy back thru the chop to your
boat. Raise the dinghy so you can sail somewhere else. Time required: 1:30 to 2:30 hours.
Don't try to "sneak" into the
BVI without clearing in. If you get caught, the fines can be staggering.
