Let’s sail the Spanish Virgin Islands!
Sailing the Spanish Virgin Islands. Although the Spanish Virgins lie just 6 miles from Puerto Rico and 15-20 miles from the U.S. Virgin Islands, they are far less crowded. Even though they’re part of the United States, they have none of the commercialism of the U.S. Virgin Islands, nor the crowds of charter boats that fight for moorings in the British Virgin Islands. For those who are looking for a boating vacation where gunk-holing is the order of the day and star-gazing de rigueur for the night, the Spanish Virgin Islands are perfect. Old hands describe them as “the BVIs 35 years ago.” Why are these islands still so pristine and unspoiled? Blame it on the Marines — and the U.S. Navy — they owned the islands for private operations until the mid-1970’s. It’s an easy flight to either San Juan Puerto Rico or St. Thomas, USVI, then on to the Spanish Virgin Islands! Read more… http://bit.ly/h1Jr9j
