    Nice try(hard).

    First, not your boat. Its a rental from Sunsail or another rental company.
    Second, tighten that jib, the blue lining is to protect it from the sun and weather and if you know what you were doing you’d know not to expose the white fabric to the sun if you’re not sailing.
    Third, your emergency beacon is not properly stowed for that vessel, it should be on the starboard aft rail.
    Fourth, all but one or two moorings in the BVI have anchorage that isn’t tied to rental anchorage buoys, and thats not one of them, so you just pushed off in your dinghy to take the pic and then went somewhere else.

      Agree with Merwin, looks like a Beneteau 41.3, a boat that Moorings has many of. I’d say they probably are anchored at one of the Dog Islands or Peter Island. That being said, chartering in the BVI is still pretty fratty.

        Spot on. It’s the Beneteau 41.3. Watched them stencil the name on this baby right before we took it from moorings.

      Maybe if merwinhenrystewart was around back in the day we’d still have the Titanic around.

      Most charters are registered through a Caribbean nation so the company can pay less taxes. This boat is registered in Georgia and therefore, probably a privately owned boat.

      ^boats are owned by individuals but rented out by Moorings. Basically a time-share like deal.

      Or maybe the blue is a flag tied to the port stays, possibly that of BVI?

      You’re right dude, a string of islands that is a playground for the rich who like to fish, boat, sail, and scuba dive is definitely NF.

      A string of islands overpowered by low rent resorts. The south Caribbean is much better then the virgin islands

      I would hardly call the Bitter End Yacht Club, Biras Creek, and Marriott Scrub Island “low rent” resorts. I don’t consider hotels with rooms that are a $1000 a night minimum low rent, but maybe I’m just not as fratty and wealthy as you.

    You have to love the BVI’s. It’s beautiful. Some good bone fishing out in the Mangroves on Anagada too.
