Then, Katherine Stone takes us on a tour of the BVIs best anchorages, destinations and local watering holes, including where to find the best rum painkiller.

Our power review by Andy Adams features the Scout 400 LXF – not just a top-tier fishing machine, it’s also a premium adventure day boat and comfortable overnighter with fold out on-deck galley and 60+ miles-per-hour performance.
