British Virgin Islands Flotilla
08-15 January 2007
Bay Breeze Charters out of Traverse City
Michigan organized what turned out to be the perfect sailing vacation. Everything,
including air travel, went without a glitch. We departed home very early on Sunday 7 January and arrived in Tortola just as the sun was setting in the BVI. We spent that evening getting
familiar with the vessel
and going over the charts of the area. Click on the links below to see the
pictures of our trip.

Our flotilla was composed of 3 catamarans and 22
sailors, most of whom were from the Grand
Traverse Yacht Club in Traverse City, Michigan. Our circuit of the islands
covered over 90 miles during the 7 days. We returned to the charter base on the 13th and did some
local sailing all day the 14th, spent our last evening on the boat, then departed Tortola for San
Juan Puerto Rico the 15th of January. After a good night sleep in a local Hotel and a
little sightseeing, we departed for home on the 16th of January.
