"I've been wanting to do this trip for 20 years. This is pure island life in the heart of Jimmy Buffet territory.  Kick back and enjoy joyous yellow sunshine under blue skies, sailing on a turquoise sea among jade and emerald colored islands. The Tequila is on me!" ~~Chip

"Ooo, baby, it's a big ole goofy world!" ~~Lou Reed

Join us for a wonderful week in the British Virgin Islands relaxing and sailing in calm turquoise waters and playing on pristine beaches in and around Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Norman Island and several others. Dive the Wreck of the Rhone, snorkel the Baths, enjoy fantastic food and drink.

We will arrive in St. Thomas and then we will take the fast ferry to Tortola and clear Customs.  Accommodations at the Village Caye Marina. The restaurant there was the inspiration for the Jimmy Buffet's "Cheeseburger in Paradise".  It is right at the dock where we will boar the Cuan Law the next morning.  The following morning we board the Cuan Law, the world's largest trimaran (3 hull) sailing vessel, 105' long 44' wide, with all the luxuries.

For the next 6 day we will live in comfort and cruise a number of islands. This area is know for calm seas, easy sailing and beautiful island and seascapes.  There are several wrecks to dive including the Rhone (Nick NOlte & Jacquelyn Bisset, "The Deep").  The diving is generally shallow so it is great for photography, lot's of schooling fish, critters and lush coral reefs. We have scheduled 2 dives per day, but there will be opportunities for up to 17 dives including night dives.

There are a number of excursion opportunities include a day at the spa, in-shore and deep sea fishing and much more.

Space is limited, only room for 9 couples, other than Chip & Priscilla.  Don't be left out. Sign up today. We really look forward to traveling, vacationing, and diving with you.

What was that fish I saw?  That happens to me all the time.  I used to bring my fish ID books with me but with airline baggage restrictions and the weight of printed books, who can do that?
