re: Sailing School in the BVIs

You could come take the same classes in Kemah, TX. Save your money and go on a charter through the Moorings with your friends.

There is a sailing school down at my marina. They teach on a Colgate 26 and offshore on my buddy's 45' in the Gulf of Bay.

Not the same as the BVI trip you are talking about, but I would prefer to go charter down there with my friends and have a "Skipper" on the boat. Count on 2,300 per person for 10 days including airfare. We go every year, but have Captain Licenses and don't need the skipper.
