That's putting it mildly! Think of the smell of a freshly mowed lawn. To me, Rhum Agricole tastes like what I imagine that would.

There you go again talking about something other than the topic at hand. I don't get the connection.

She may have made that "15 cents" statement to previous customers hoping they didn't have any change and would give her another "greenback" or two (or five).

That being said, is it an open "hire and fire" employee set up in the BVI? Someone posted, long ago, about "up the ladder" influences on who you can hire.

Several years ago, we were at BEYC on a slow, Sunday night. We went into the gift shop and the sole-employee, in her mid-twenties, was listening to gospel music on a small radio. I complemented her on her music. She said ~ "I have to work every Sunday. This music is the only way I get to go to church." How open is the job market for the locals?

Listen no matter what anyone tells you. They have tractors that clean up everything everyday!!! We were there a few weeks ago and spent more than a few days on Orient beach. LaPlaya is our home base. But I walk the beach end to end everyday. Those guys don't stop until the beach is all cleaned up!!! FACT!

Just a note, Craig from Pack Light has rentals in Beacon Hill! Not on the beach. But for a couple of days before checking into BSV, why not, short walk to Simpson bay beach and Dinghy's!!

We visited Desert Sun in Palm Springs from April 25 to April 30, 2024. Open for business and still clothing-optional.

barry--no problem, but that really is a shame that Rainbow scr*ws that whole area, because of the noise.

OK, thanks for the additional info. As far as a jetway, my understanding is that no one gets a jetway upon ARRIVAL, but some get it on departure. At least to have a ramp is a big deal. It is very difficult for me to go down (or up!!) stairs, especially with a carry on bag.

Thanks for the nice trip report and photos!!

So my theory on sugar in the cruise ship fuel tanks worked!

We arrived May 1st. Stayed with a local friend who said that the weather had been very weird with lots of rain .

Cisterns full and everything is lush and green….greener than I have experienced .

She lives on top of the hill overlooking Josiah Bay. Blustery and rain all night.
One of those “ so glad I am not doing anchor watch on my boat “ kinda nights.

Been cloudy and rainy off and on since we got here, with sunny breaks too. Mixed bag for sure ….but a cloudy day in vacation in BVI beats any day at home in Easten Canada where we still get minus temps at night .
Here til June so really don’t mind a few overcast days .

But it’s still as gorgeous as ever

George, I think the ferries have caught on to that. Seems like some do not allow same day booking online.
