Current Status of BVI?

[SailSC]

I’m looking forward to a charter this fall in the BVI. Does anybody have local knowledge of which of the usual best stops have not recovered or of any new places worth checking out? In the past we have enjoyed Bitter End, Marina Cay, Cooper Island, Cane Garden Bay, Jost and Spanish Town/Baths.

Forget Bitter End its trashed. Otherwise other places mentioned will be (or already are) open. Maybe by then the new Willy T will be up and running in its new location Great Harbour Peter Island.

I just came back. Basically everything "nature made" is in a good shape. "Man made", not so much. But a few touristy places: White bay on JVD, Liverick, Copper are nicely rebuilt. Fewer boats, so finding mooring buoy is not a problem at any time, except Cooper somehow. We really enjoyed the trip

We have stopped at White bay on Guana Island for the first time. Resort is still closed, so you have whole beach to yourself

Interesting..... Any reason why the Willy T is changing locations after so many years?

Local politics....Apparently Norman is slotted to become an exclusive resort and and Willy T is not welcome anymore

How is the anchoring/mooring situation there? Isn’t that a deep bay?
