Virgin Gorda / Baths Day Trip Zinka 18 minutes ago We plan on taking the 9am Speedy’s ferry from Road Town to Virgin Gorda next Monday and heading back on the 3:30pm. It’s our first time to VG, so we’ll definitely check out the Baths and want to stop at a few beach bars and explore the island a bit. Are there usually taxis waiting at the dock, or should we line something up ahead of time?

Anegada Ice Cream Options Marilyn 04/28/2025 05:48 PM One of our group is having a birthday while we're in Anegada and dearly wants some ice cream to celebrate. Does anyone know what selection of ice cream Lil Bits might carry, i.e. half gallons or just individual bars? It would be easier to buy it in Anegada rather than take up our scarce freezer space hauling it in from North Sound, but we'll do what's necessary to get the lady her ice cream!

Pollos Hermanos Carol_Hill 04/28/2025 04:59 PM We are looking for a quick meal to pick up for our arrival day in SXM. We like to get all the hard stuff done the first day, so we go to BSV and drop off bags and head immediately to Carrefour. Then we pick up something for dinner on the way home. The last couple of years, we have done Mark's, which is OK, but wanting to try something different. I have been wanting to try Pollos Hermanos for a while. How does it work there? Is it basically a carry out place? How long do you have to wait for your food?

Any other suggestions? Not interested in Captain D's, as it hasn't seemed to be nearly as good lately.

Options for Secluded Anchorages tmsxmsails 04/28/2025 03:36 PM For our upcoming trip, we want to have a few nights at more secluded spots.

I know this has been asked before and I've combed past questions about this and come up with the following candidates (I may have filtered a few for reasons I've probably forgotten...):

Key Cay and Great Harbor on Peter - Key Cay sounds good but it feels odd to be on the South side of the island. Anything in particular to watch out for here?
Sandbox on Prickly Pear
Lee of Eustatia - This sounds great but I'm just a tad nervous about navigating there. I'm pretty sure I'd come in from the North vs coming through the channel by Saba. It's also hard to tell if it's out-of bounds for The Moorings.
White Bay on Guana
Diamond Cay on Jost

I've got the guide book so I have the particulars on these but I just wanted to get any other comments/recommendations/warnings from the wisdom of this group.

I'll be on a monohull.

Thanks

Where to rent foiling boards tmsxmsails 04/28/2025 03:25 PM Last year at Saba, we saw a guy tooling around/learning on one of those electric foiling boards. We thought it looked fun to try so this year we want to give it a go.

Besides Saba, does anywhere else rent them - Leverick, BEYC, ??

We will probably hit Saba again but I'd like to have options incase the real world gets in the way of plans.

North Sound questions louismcc 04/28/2025 03:29 AM Do any of the shuttles from the east end restaurants (Saba Rock, BEYC, Oil Nut Nova) go as far as Leverick or do they just go to Gun Creek?

Are there any laundry facilities in North Sound besides Leverick?

Favorite JVD Restaurant? moogym 04/27/2025 04:59 PM We are a party of 4 and looking to go out to dinner in JVD tonight. We are moored in Great Harbor. We are happiest with smaller mom and pop places. Been to Foxy’s and looking for something different. What do people recommend and why? Favorite dish?

Lion Fish at Monkey Pt moogym 04/27/2025 04:52 PM Hi All,

We snorkeled at Monkey Pt off of Guana island yesterday and saw a very large lion fish. We tried to call the number in the cruising guide to report it but could not get the call to go through (284-442-7783). I tried entering it both with and without a leading +1.

Anyone know any other way to report it? On JVD now and thought we would stop at the dive shop and tell them.

If anyone wants to go looking for it, it was last seen in the back right corner of the cave down low and under a rock. All we saw was the beautiful ‘feathers’. It is camouflaged well.

Thanks!
