Sailing School TJTrippe Yesterday at 08:13 PM Hello All
Can anyone recommend a sailing school outfit In the USVI/BVI or SXM that will put you through the courses suitable to charter from them and other charter bases in the USVI/BVI/Bahamas and SXM?

Looking for a good program at reasonable cost.

Thank you in advance

Wednesday RonDon Yesterday at 01:02 PM Amazing! No rain. Spent most of the day at the new pool and bar. Don used the binoculars to look over Anguilla and said there was a lot of new construction at the left side.

Dinner was at Ti Coin Creole. Carl is so warm and smiling all the time. When we arrived, on our way to GCBC we passed his place and he was outside gave us a
warm “welcome back”
It,s always nice to be remembered.

Dinner began with an order each of Accra’s. Don had steak au poive even though this is a Creole restaurant there are other offering. I had the goat. With two glasses of red wine bill was 105€ But Carl gives 1 to 1

If my reports are all about where we eat it’s because that’s what I come to SXM for

Tuesday RonDon Yesterday at 12:45 PM Rain! I have never been here and seen so much rain. When it cleared we chose loungers on walkway that faced Grand Case. Read, napped, watched boats come and go until rain again. Drenched by time we got to our room.

When rain cleared we drove to Marigot and lunched at Be Kool. Reservations are needed here even for lunch for the food is great and locals eat here. I had made them before leaving g home. We watched lots of tourists be turned away.

But Wendy K a TtOL member wasn’t. She knows the drill. Had I known beforehand we could have dined together .

Began with smoked salmon on tiny pancakes topped with cream. Don had porc cheeks with mashed potatoes and I had porc medallions with fries. I think they have the best fries. Washed it all down with a bottle of Rose as we “people watched”. 185$ our most expensive meal yet.

Back at gcbc to Rain I swear it’s only raining in Gc. Had sun all the while in Marigot even got to roam the marketplace.

Kinda wondering gitter Yesterday at 12:05 PM When I was at St. Martin last month, I realized something that makes me wonder. I saw a huge number of clothing with "St. (Or Sint) Maarten" and some with "St. Maarten and "St. Martin" but nearly zero with just St. Martin. Just curious why that is?

Baths via land Matt W 03/11/2026 03:00 PM hey TTOL fam. will be down this month and planning to visit the baths via taxi at Leverick for the first time. Have some younger/older folks onboard and dont want to risk red flag conditions. Anyone have taxi driver referrals, preferably a safari truck? What's the going rate per person? What time should we plan pick-up to avoid cruise ship traffic? Thanks!!!
