Sailing the BVI: The Calm and the Chaos

A rocky shoreline and blue skies

Sailing is a wonderful activity, offering peace and tranquility, a serene escape from the day-to-day. But don't be fooled by the peaceful exterior. Beneath the surface lies a world of adrenaline-fueled activity. The high stress and high stakes of docking can make you numb to the rigors of sailing, until it wears off.

A Debrief on Our BVI Adventure

Our first-ever sail in the British Virgin Islands exceeded our expectations. Sharing the stunning natural beauty with my sister and niece, the thrill of navigating the open waters, and the unexpected encounters with fellow travelers made for unforgettable memories.
