(A Review by the Gypsy Nesters)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In November our friends and professional baby boomer travel bloggers, the Gypsy Nesters<\/a>, began an eight day jaunt across the British Virgin Islands and St. Martin aboard the sailing catamaran, Dream Canouan on our BVI <\/a>Dream<\/a> Premium<\/a> cabin charter. The Gypsy Nesters sold their house after their last child left home and began an adventure that has taken them all around the world and resulted in an Amazon bestseller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their mini cruise included stops and overnight anchorages at several out of the way places, such as Jost Van Dyke, Sandy Cay, The Baths on Virgin Gorda, Anegada, the caves at Norman Island and Grand Case, none of which are even remotely possible to reach on larger ships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They traveled from St. Martin to the BVIs and,  the Gypsy Nesters say the people of the BVIs are resilient and have come a long way in re-building and welcoming back charterers. Foxy\u2019s is back open with their drinks, food and music along with other local hot-spots that have reopened with vigor. The natural beauty has also made its return, just follow their BVI journey below with some breathtaking photo highlights<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

In regards to how they felt about traveling to the BVIs, where they once lived. The Gypsy Nesters said: \u201cAs soon as we stepped off the plane in St. Martin we felt at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe warm tropical breeze filled our senses and immediately took us back to when we lived on St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands. Having spent nearly a decade down here, we have learned a few things about the Caribbean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne is that often the best places to visit are not the ones that are easily accessible to most tourists. If you come on a cruise ship you are likely to miss many of them as you hurry from one major port to the next.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See where their adventure took them and why travelling on a chartered boat is a more up close and personal way to experience the islands. Read more here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not All to Discover in the BVI is by Sailing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Islands of the British Virgin Islands are practically paradise with their vast white sand beaches stretching out under swaying palms and lush mountains rising above to the sky. However, that is only half of the picture. There is an equally amazing world of colors and scenery, along with an incredible collection of marine wildlife, to be discovered beneath the crystal blue water. We have always felt like it is akin to swimming in an aquarium.\u201d The Gypsy Nesters\u2019 under water experience can be seen in photos here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leaving their Yacht<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Gypsy Nesters\u2019 last thoughts: We have to say that we now understand the desire to own your own secluded piece of paradise better than ever. Still, all in all we\u2019d rather be seeing it from a boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only bad part of the trip was having to put shoes back on at the end. See the rest of the Gypsy Nesters journey here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
