Sometimes I have to wonder, am I or are we (MJ & I) the only ones that are not Mark's fans? I put it at average at best, tried three times and even tried the mussels the last time based on suggestions, and again average. Probably won't go back for another try but I read the reviews and just wonder what are we missing?

The Full Moon party is fun and reason enough to stay in the Trellis anchorage. Just check the mooring line as some are chewed up. There is also some space to anchor.

Why’s trellis not a great anchorage? Bugs? Noise? Odorous? I’ve never been to a full moon party, and will have friends on board who lit up at the idea of the whole thing…so I’m pretty much planning on the night there, but why wouldn’t you?

We know of a very wealthy US developer who looked and liked it but he felt there was waaaay too much graft and corruption attached to it and too many pockets that needed to be filled to make it a worthy purchase . That was probably one of my favorite moments asking those questions at a dumb golf meet and greet 😂😂😂😂

I remember when Dawn Beach Resort was purchased and they put the Marriott there and everybody complained. Similar to that piece of land, if you end up spending as much as they needed to in order to purchase the land you will have to build something that generates the revenue at todays scale vs what it once did. Mullet will likely need a lot more rooms to fill to cover the nut.
Next is what will happen to the present beach bars, guessing the same fate as Ms B's.
After this many years, tough to imagine much change in that area.

Need to buy a Mens collar shirt or polo shirt for changing on the beach.
Are there any shops selling dinner wear in Orient Village?

Zanshin - Where do you put your boat up for hurricane season? We are looking to take ours down island at the end of next season. Thanks.

9.3mm/hour is still considered light to moderate rain; and the weather models show the main part of the heavy thunderstorm/rain going north of Tortola tomorrow. I'm going to get the same weather systems here in St. Martin.

St. Lucia for phaseouts makes little sense, the base is rather small and there is little to no space on the hardstand for boats. Parts are very pricey and difficult to come by compared to other places in the island chain and while labour isn't expensive it is hard to find specialists of any kind. Dockage is plentiful and cheap, and the marina overall is very safe and hurricane-secure. I stored my boat there for two seasons and am going back there; but I'm provisioning and getting spares here in St. Martin before heading south. I know several Moorings workers who are skippers and they often do BVI deliveries, so getting the boat back to the BVI for sale isn't a big issue - although I wouldn't take it there now as the hurricane season is fast approaching.

Sq - That's quite a pickle they've put you in. I might be able to put you in touch with someone local in STL to either watch over Moorings or line you up with options to refit privately. PM me if you are interested.

St Lucia is where the Moorings is conducting phaseouts. I assume that is what he meant by STL. I would be interested in what the base manager has to say about timing and the process as I believe he is in charge. Let us know if you get a chance to talk!

All good information. Make sure you get medical evacuation insurance as well. We have a neighbor who had to pay out of pocket for evacuation to San Francisco this year. Look for a policy that takes you where you want to go, not to somewhere they determine you can be treated. Very wise advice...in our case I looked into the cost of a flight to Miami if I had to fly our crew member out.

I was somewhat hesitant to write details, but if someone has a life-threatening medical emergency in the BVI then they should not expect the same level of care as "back home".
Just to give an update on my experience - I'd hurt my back in a fall aboard and couldn't walk upright and was in serious pain. The diagnosis in the BVI was "severe sprain with bruising on lower back" and a prescription for Voltaren. I opted to fly to Europe and get a second opinion; it turned out that I had 3 broken vertebrae and the doctors wanted to put me in traction. I managed to convince them that since I'd survived 5 days of sailing single-handed and a coach-class seat on the long return flight, I wasn't going to subject myself to a month in hospital!

STL? Where is that, is it St. Lucia? I'll be there in a week, and I'll be on the Moorings dock and know all the Moorings folks at that base.

You should have been provided information when you bought the boat. The MOG as it is known is the owners liaison and quasi union in dealing with the Moorings. I will PM you info. It’s a private yahoo group.

VG does indeed have a clinic in Spanish Town, and I would say it is nicer than you might expect. I see Dr. Obi there myself.
I certainly would prefer to not deal with critical issues there, but for things like your situation I suspect it to be more than sufficient
