Just be careful with the Bomba Punch if you plan on sleeping that night! The Sugar Mill is pricey, but excellent. The owners write/used to write for either Gourmet or Bon Appetite. I'd make reservations the day beforehand

and generally drinking a lot of rum. Also went over to Virgin Gorda to snorkel the Baths (before I was SCUBA certified.)

I avoided the magic mushroom tea at Bomba's for more or less obvious reasons.

HAVE FUN!!

Bareboat means you charter the boat without captain/crew/cook (i.e., you provide your own).

Dollar bar....they invented Pain Killers. That's the only way to get to the bar, hence the name. Voted one of ten best beaches in the world....a must for sailor's from all over the world. Also, sail around to Great Harbour on Jost Van Dyke to Foxy's -- totally famous. Panties from women all over the world pinned to the bar..... Foxy, himself, is quite entertaining. At night it rocks ..

You need crew?
