British Virgin Islands
The British Virgin Islands are a sailing archipelago: Tortola as the base, with dozens of bays and anchorages around it. There is no income tax, while food, fuel and housing are expensive and everything is priced in US dollars. It stays warm and dry most of the year, the best season runs from December to April, and hurricanes arrive in late summer. The economy rests on yachting and offshore services, healthcare is basic, and specialist care means a flight to Puerto Rico or the US.
