    It's beautiful. This area takes your heart and never gives it back. I was a charter captain in the Virgin Islands. I still have the secret chart showing anchorages and lobster only the top captains know (me and one other). St John is laid back and remote but it's better in the BVI. You are such an interesting sailor and sweet person - wild and free. Living your dreams with no fear. I have never shared the chart. But I will share it with you. It shows the best anchorages in the US and BVI. Never share with anyone else or the anchorages will be crowded and the lobster gone forever. Great show baby!
