Most villa agencies would adjust the rates weekly depending on the number of bedrooms used.

Wunderground.com is pretty good. Just type in our zip code 00831 for local weather and radar. Remember...the forecasts generally say rain every day but we get light showers that come and go.

Capt. John took us to Guana Island. We packed a lunch and anchored there and enjoyed the absolute peace and beauty of the bay. It was just one stop on a great day. Ask John...he knows all the best spots to go!
