Anybody see the 2 planes facing each other on runway at 3:30 today? American heading down slowly from beach end & KLM heading up runway toward airport. Then American took off over beach. I didn't have volume on beach cam to hear ATC. First I've seen that. American looked ready to take off from beach but didn't.

Hello. Any preferred fishing charter boats for a half day while on island? Not sure what is around the area first week of May, but would love to snag a wahoo. I came across 4REEL, and will be staying on the French Side, but open to referrals. (I know some crews are much better than others where I live...) Thanks in advance.

Staying at Princess Heights. Very quiet for most part occasional construction noise from old Westin. We had an in room continental breakfast from hotel at $10a person. It includes 4 French pastries 🥐 2 yogurt, coffee, OJ butter jelly an tea. Not bad. Went to Orient beach at KKO. Karl the bartender whom we have know for many years was off duty that day as was Cedric the beach chair guy. We will see them tomorrow. Beach was great. A little sarragasum on beach none in water. A lot of sarragasum at Coco beach just down the way though. Nice stiff breeze at 17mph some overcast but a great beach day. Ate at L’Oasis. My wife had a raw fish combo; I had the duck. The raw fish platter was a little tasteless according to my better half. My duck was very tough. Hoping for better dinner tonight at Le Bistronome in GC.

Hi,
i am writing from Germany. I would like to know if I should plan holidays on St. Martin and Anguilla during end of June (23.) and beginning of July (06.) or should I skip because of rainy and stormy weather? Can anybody give me general information about weather and sea temperature during June and July? Thanks a lot and greetings!

Are reservations still needed for the ferry from Charlotte Amalie to Road Town? We're arriving with a party of eight on Thursday, April 20. If our flights are on time there's a chance that we could make the 2 pm ferry with Native Son, but if the flights are a little late we'll end up on the 4 pm Smith's ferry. I'd like to keep the option open for the earlier ferry and not buy tickets until we arrive.
Is that a big risk? Have the ferries been running full lately?

Good afternoon all. Our family (6 adults, 1, 13 year-old granddaughter) are Bareboat chartering a Sunsail Lagoon 424 this summer (6/17 – 6/24). We have chartered monohulls (35’ to 47’) 6 times in the 2005 – 2014 period, last being May 2014. We’ve not been back since a couple of hurricanes, Covid and boaty-balls. Interested in the group’s comments on what things have changed (if any) or modifications to itinerary because of changes since 2014. We typically do breakfast/lunch aboard and dinners ashore.
Itinerary: Sat 6/17 Arrive STT (1:31 pm), ferry to Road Town, stay-aboard Sun 6/18 Cooper or Beef Island Mon 6/19 Baths then BEYC/Saba Rock Tue 6/20 Anegada Wed 6/21 CGB Thur 6/22 Jost Van Dyke Fri 6/23 Norman – Willy T Sat 6/24 Back to Moorings Base, ferry to St. Thomas, Emerald Beach Resort Mon 6/26 Back to States
Found recommendations here for Kevin for Taxi on St. Thomas. Any recommendations for Taxi on Tortola? There will be 7 of us.
Thanks

The wires are reporting a death off Great Harbour, JVD around midnight last night.Seems the victim was solo in a dinghy that was found circling on its own.The victim suffered head wounds and was pronolunced dead. This is a very seriious reminder about dinghy safety at all times. So sad. Chances are he went overboard and was hit by his own boat..maybe showing the importance of a kill switch tethered to your wrist.

One local worker/liveaboard perished last night and the body was record in the lagoon today, along with his dinghy. And, also last night, another dinghy accident claimed a life in Great Harbour, BVI! While I realize that most here are land-based, those on dinghies at night should be aware of the dangers. There's no news link to the incident in St. Martin, but here's a link to the one in the BVI: https://caribbean.loopnews.com/content/boating-accident-claims-one-life-bvi
