The Spanish Virgin Islands

Soon the Bay Breeze boats will be tucked away under their winter covers and much of the staff is heading south to spend a few days on a working vacation with our partner charter company CYOA Yacht Charters which is based in St. Thomas.  Each year, CYOA hauls their fleet out for hurricane season in Fajardo, Puerto Rico.  That means each year after hurricane season the boats need to get splashed and brought back to St. Thomas, which is about 50 miles as the crow flies.  Many Bay Breeze captains, instructors, boat tech guys and other assorted boaties (including yours truly) will be spending a few days in the boatyard prepping the boats but the reward is that we’re spending some time exploring the Spanish Virgin Islands of Culebra and Vieques which lie between PR and STT.  They are the “islands less traveled” in the Virgin Islands  because they are somewhat out of the way for most charter bases.  But CYOA is conveniently located to access this amazing cruising ground.  Photos and stories will come in mid November.  In the meantime, its back to winterizing the fleet here in TC!
