Sailors will enjoy a virtual vacation with Ginny’s Catamaran Sailing Guide To The British Virgin Islands. “Sailing in the BVI is sailing in paradise: wonderful weather, fair winds, beautiful, clear, warm water, good snorkeling and diving, great food, lovely people, and lots of amenities. Sailing here has been the delight of our lives.” Ginny includes valuable insider tips for visitors, such as this note on Ginger Island: “Alice in Wonderland is one of the most enjoyable dive sites in the area. Look for huge mushroom corals and abundant fish life. Take the buoy furthest to the west and start your dive going east.”

Or on Carrot Bay: “Sugar Mill Restaurant, pricey but one of the finest restaurants in the islands . . . be sure to get a copy of their cookbook. We can recommend the tomato ginger wine soup, prime ribs, key lime pie.” In Road Town, Tortola: “Spaghetti Junction — Truly fine Italian food, great sauces, good service, try the seafood pasta with cream sauce and chocolate mousse . . . Another of our favorites. Tell Owners, John and April, the Wildcat sent you.”
Erik Staley pens amusing anecdotes from his travels: “Been There, Done That: Summaries of places I’ve been in recent memory (which extends to the past few years). US, Mexico, the Caribbean and Brazil . . . The Good! The Bad! The Unspeakable!” If you’re not faint-hearted, have a look at Erik’s Tales of the Yucatan or Tales from the Caribbean: What happens on a Carnival cruise? (OK, what doesn’t?) Read on! Topics include San Juan, Puerto Rico/The Fun Ship/Grumpiest Old Men/St Thomas & St John/High Stakes on the High Seas/St Maarten & Sunken Treasure/Dominica, the Rainforest Isle/Barbados and Jolly Roger Rehab/Martinique, The Friendly Isle/The Tale of the Thrice Bumped/South Florida/What’s Recommended/What’s Not Recommended”.
There are his less than pleasant experiences in Martinique, and practical recommendations like: “Visit: Old San Juan, PR; St. John, USVI; Rain forests of Dominica (esp. with more time on your hands!); Barbados beaches; snorkeling just about anywhere (but ask if the ship-sponsored ones require life vests and “herding”). Buy: Rum (PR, USVI or Barbados), or homemade flavored rum (yum! St. Maarten); misc. handcrafted trinkets (Dominica) & handmade jewelry (Barbados). And bring that rum aboard to make your own drinks!”
