Photos from Lynne and Hudson Hoen's 2-week charter in the Virgin Islands on IP 380-168 "Island Girl". Island Yacht Charters, Red Hook, St. Thomas has a nice fleet of IPs and is great to work with. Would do it again in a heartbeat!

Cruz Bay, St John is a short hop from Red Hook. Laid back and eclectic (some would say funky)

An old sugar cane mill overlooks Caneel Bay, St. John

No visit to the BVIs would be complete without a stop at Foxy's on Jost Van Dyke

Our chartered boat, IP 380 "Island Girl" at Spanishtown, Virgin Gorda

The Baths on Virgin Gorda is a truly unique experience. Trails run thru & under the giant bolders

Beam reaching in 18-22 Kts to St. Croix. Great sailing, plus dolphins and flying fish!

We anchored off the St Croix Yacht Club, just in time for their Int'l Regatta awards party

Christiansted's architecture shows it's Dutch heritage.

Buck Island is a popular snorkeling and lunch spot

NW swells made some anchorages untenable, but Saba Rock in Virgin Gorda's North Sound was calm

New moon and Venus from The Bight on Norman Island, BVI

We only had to dodge squalls on two of our 14 days

The anchorages were relatively uncrowded--only two of us in Little Lameshur Bay on St John
