Dragoneers invade British Virgin Islands!

The annual Fairwind Flotilla headed south again in February 2011.  The flotilla, led by Fairwind's Capt. Ben, sailed on beautiful yachts in the incomparable Moorings charter fleet, enjoying eighty degree days and seventy degree nights, fresh winds, and crystal clear waters.  The brightly painted fish and other denizens of the deep got to know the mighty Dragoneers up-close and personal, and the conch fritter, Cuban cigar, and rum supply was suitably depleted by sun-browned sailors at day's end.  Plans are already in place for our next trips in January and February of 2012.  If you've always wanted to take such a trip, why not go with the nicest group of sailors you could ever want to know and with the security that only Fairwind can provide?
