Comments	Excellent vessel, Stellar food, Incredible crew and ho-hum diving due to the hurricane which devastated all of the BVI. First off, the Cuan Law is an excellent vessel. She's a bit long in the tooth, but they have kept her up very well. We sailed without her main sail so some of the magic was lost. Large spacious rooms and a HUGE main area. The food was over the top! Kelley worked magic in EVERY meal from her chef-quality galley. INCREDIBLE food...EVERY meal! The crew knew their business. They worked hard to grant each and every request and were quite amply rewarded. They worked around the dive deck limitation and led each dive with aplomb! One of the best crews EVER! One of the worst sounds in my world is "the sucking sound of money flying out of my wallet." We do liveaboards to make these fixed expenditures and to avoid that sound. The BVI was NOT a bargain. We spent as much in taxis, hotels, tips, and meals that the entire week of Cuan Law cost. Short version is that this trip cost us twice what we thought it would/should. Additionally, the underwater world of the BVI was devastated by the hurricane. Very little animal or fish live. Destroyed coral gardens and a lack of interesting things to see. The Wreck of the Rhone was on my bucket list and did not disappoint, but the remainder of the week, with 3 dives offered daily, was a disappointment. Perhaps in 10 years, when there is an accessible airport and when the undersea environment regenerates, we will come back. Not till then, Sadly.

Closest Airport	St. Thomas	Getting There	EXPENSIVE and challenging, due to ferries, hotels, porters, tips, and ever-present waiting.
