dingfixer - I'll probably be seeing you in Tortola. I'll be sailing down from
Annapolis in late October or early November but don't think I'll join up with the Carib 1500 rally - perhaps I'll just benefit from their
weather routing.
If you plan on
living aboard in the
BVI, you most likely get a permanent spot up in Trellis Bay (amongst the other liveaboards). Working is going to be a bit tough, since you'll need a
work visa in order to
work legally, and getting paid cash under the table might work but probably won't pay for
repair work aboard. You'll need to leave the
BVI every 3 weeks for the USVI or (much further) St. Martin and sooner rather than later the authorities might take a closer look at you.
