    Hi Brian
    The winds are pretty consistent.. a good idea would be to download 'Ugrib' (ugrib.com). Its one of the best wind real time and forecasting programs I've ever used and its 'FREE' its a small download for the application and then just select the area you're sailing and it overlays the wind data straight on top... it even integrates with 'Maxsea'

    No special routes.. some of the better dive-snorkel sites don't have mooring balls so be prepared to anchor.. all the rest do, but get there early and get to your overnight stay location by mid afternoon to guarantee a mooring.

    Must see's: The Baths VG, North South VG,

    I cant help with the fishing as i've never done any.. but be warned you must buy a fishing license... the fines for illegal fishing are astronomical .. really. Your charter company should be able to advise. who are you using...

    Anyway happy sailing.. if you're near Road Town, we could grab a beer.
