After nearly a week...thoughts..
Manpot
44 minutes ago
As said..very quiet with no cruise ships (Yipee).The weather has been very dry and breezy with some Sahara dust coming and going. Everything is open so it's a great time to come on down..folks still like reservations at places like The Sugar Mill ( they have been hosting some large private parties) but most places are glad to see you. Food..as always ..the Mill is great..Sebastian's is doing some improvements over the summer. The food at Myett's with Plum Rose in the kitchen is very good indeed..and reasonable..as is the the food at Tramonti,The Sugar Mill beach bar. I had a shrimp roti there last night for $20 that was one of the best ever..after a killer cheeseburger ($16)and fries at Gene's in Sea Cow's Bay for lunch.Getting work done on CRC with some, hopefully, nice surprises after a great lady friend comes down..who is a top Beverly Hills designer ( does post Premier events)..and has some ideas for the place..Little Apple Bay 90210!! Looking forrad to seeing best friends in a few days..life is good on Little Apple Bay..BTW..Tramonti, The Suagr Mill beach bar is open for dinner Tues day tho Sat, and has a great Sunday brunch..

Best mobile provider STT
Merky Water
12 hours ago
Hello all, I’ve done some searches here but cannot seem to find any info on what’s the best mobile coverage/cell service on St. Thomas. I heard it’s between AT&T and T-Mobile in an old YouTube video but I don’t know if that still is true. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

maho robbery & cycle accident
mahokid
Yesterday at 12:08 PM
On another social media site
Looks like robbery directly across from Royal Islander La Plage
I know jewelry store directly across has double security doors since they got robbed and owner beaten just over a year ago
So sad this keeps happening
Of course, get away on cycles
Also cycle skids out, not sure where
Looks like driver was wearing a helmet
I'm sure more information will be popping up

Dinghy / RIB in BVI
MattFlap
06/02/2026 07:41 AM
We will be heading back to the BVI on our own keel later this year. We will have a passable 'beater' dinghy with us, ideal for lashing to the deck for the Atlantic crossing. However, once we arrive we will be looking for an immediate upgrade. Ideally something similar to the hundreds of dinghies Sunsail/Moorings have. For example an 11 or 12ft AB or Highfield with a 15hp+ outboard.
Yes we could buy a new one and have it shipped out to Nanny Cay ready for our arrival. But then I’ll be overly precious about keeping it shiny!
Does anyone happen to know if the charter companies (such as Sunsail/Moorings) ever sell off their old ones? Or have any contacts in the BVI of someone who might be able to track down a used RIB for us. And to clarify I am NOT looking for a Sparkle Laundry (if you know you know) style stolen-to-order situation!
Thank you in advance for any knowledge / wisdom / information / thoughts / unrelated musings / other
Matt

...boy is it!!! I am at CRC in Little Apple Bay and it is the quietist I have ever known it this time of year..everyone is talking about it, many blaming it on the worldwide problems.If you like the BVI's like this ( who doesnt) ..come on down. I was at The Sugar Mill..only one at the bar and maybe 20 folks for dinne all night.r.At Seb's, Joey the owner, said it was the busiest night they had had in a long time beacuse they had karaoke and a lot of locals showed up,

St. Martin Trip May
mmchaplin
05/29/2026 01:54 PM
Had a great stay this week in St. Martin. Haven’t been back since our honeymoon in 2007. That trip we stayed a Alamanda on Orient Bay. I was looking at staying on Orient Bay but the sargassum and wind was concerning. I booked last minute at LTC in Grand Case. Great small hotel albeit a little pricey, but het it’s my 60th birthday. Southwest now has a direct flight out of MCO to SXM for less than $500. Didn’t have to hassle with Miami thank god. I work in Miami and my office window looks over the Miami airport. We hit Mullet, Friars, Orient, Grand Case beaches. Orient just for a drink and look see. We also did one of those tourist charters on Boomerang to Anguilla and met some fantastic people. Saw the fireworks Wednesday night looking towards Anguilla. A friend from Orlando, Joe was a guest and invited us over but we passed. Had a great breakfast at Zee Best. A few LoLo lunches and dinners at Friars (Kali’s), Grand Case (Cynthia’s) and can’t remember the name in Marigot. Lovely dinner last night at Le Gourmand. My favorite spot was Ti Coin Creole and a drink at Grand Case Beach Club. May go there again tonight after heading to Friar’s for a second day. Fly out tomorrow, ahead of the motor bike races. All in all a great trip and already planning a sailing trip late January here with friends. If anyone has a line on a good charter company and captain, please let me know!

Shipping Company Advice

I'm looking for a reliable shipping company on St. Thomas to ship a medium sized box with chair parts in it from Wisconsin. I understand I may be shipping it through Miami or another location so it's really the leg from Florida to St. Thomas that I'm looking for. Any advice?
