The British Vrigin Islands is a great place ofr novice and experienced sailers alike. The consistency of the weath and winds makes sailing very easy and most of the navigation is by site, except to get to Anegada (a very rewaarding experience). There is an easy route around the South of Tortola, up to Virgin Gorda with plenty of stop off points for some really good snorkelling. It is possible to moor in totally isolated bays if you wnat a quiet night, or many bays with lively nightlife, good bars and restaurants. There are also some smarter resort hotels if you are after a bit of luxury. Virgin Gorda is a good half way point with a full service marina - excellent for having a proper shower and stocking up on provisions. Then head up the 16 mile passage to Anegada - this island is completely unliek any of the others. It is completely flat with a tree being the highest point. A littel tricky to navigate the bouyage into the moorings as there is shallow watercovering a coral reef and some of the bouys are not consistent with the chart, but worth it. Studding beaches on the north of the island which you reach by taxi, and a great beach bar selling fresh lobster - you have to book so they know how many lobsters to catch!
Then head down from Anegada along the NOrth of Tortola to some typical desrt islands - a palm tree or two surrounded by golen white sand. Then onto Jost van Dyke for the infamous soggy dollar bar.
Sailing back round to The South of Torotla for a day ro 2 to spare - perfect sialing for a two week holiday.

Good review, a little more detail would make it better. I would also suggest writing your review in Word and copying and pasting it over to help you spot spelling mistakes. A lot of members won't bother reading reviews that contain many mistakes.
