It is actually a 77nm passage from Gorda Sound, Virgin Gorda to Anguilla so if you can maintain 10 kts you are looking a daylight passage of about 8 hours. I usually wait at Leverick Bay in Gorda Sound for a good weather window then make the run to St Martin in 10 hours in my boat. Daylight passages are nice as you can see what is happening and you might catch some whales passing by. So long as you are willing to wait for good weather the crossing is benign and boring except for some possible storm clouds and rain which can be circumnavigated easily.
