[Mustang Sally]

In a power boat its very easy to run from either BVI or USVI to St Martin, forget about Anguilla. We have now done the crossing 18 times. The most important factor is wind and waves. The wind generally drops at night and so do the waves. You will be running almost straight into the waves so expect a pounding if its rough. You could do the crossing in the daylight and I would suggest if the weather is right pulling out of St Thomas at about 5 am and head to the French side of St Martin (Marigot). The fees are a lot less on the french side then the dutch and you can check in with customs/immigration and then head into the lagoon if you want. Then dinghy into the dutch side for marine stores etc.
