 Perfect companion book June 9, 2008
Just got back form our first week of sailing BVI. We had this and two BVI cruising guides on board.
Virgin Anchorages is predominantly aerial photos of BVI anchorages. It works really well two ways;
1. a quick orientation check before you get to an island or anchorage. This is really useful. The more detailed guide books tell you in writing much more detail about a spot - but this just shows you in glance. And sometimes you just dont have time to look up index and read slabs of text. One look at the big aerial photo and you know the lay of the land so to speak.
2. When you are back it makes a great coffee table book. The large format photos look great. The cruising guides will gather dust on the shelf and slowly get out of date. This is what we'll show our friends.
You still need a proper BVI cruising guide - but for us this was the perfect companion book.
 never received items February 22, 2008
Amazon shipped items???? Never received them. Can't talk to anyone there, they just send a form letter to my inquiries. Not happy!
 Nice guide but needs an update December 16, 2007

Nice guide but the photographs definitely need an update. The colors and resolution are poor. Being almost 2008, with the cameras, technology, and prints availalble someone should seriously consider updating the quality of the guide.

We just got back from our sailing trip to the Virgin Islands, and this book was a huge asset. I can read charts all day long, but it's just not the same as seeing the actual photo of the bay. I strongly recommend this to anyone planning a trip to the Virgin Islands.

We have chartered a boat the last two years in the British Virign Islands,this book was a great help when it came to visualizing the islands and where to find mooring balls. Others we have traveled with have also purchased the book.
