GEBE Power - Positive News
bdeeley
Yesterday at 12:18 PM
GEBE stated that they hope to have the new power generators up and running, adding 20 Megawatts of additional output to the power grid, by November. With the 10 Megawatts that they added 2 months ago this should give them the capacity they need to meet current requirements. Also, it appears that the Government of the Netherlands is making support available. Article link is below.

Key West Bareboat Rental
ericr
10/07/2024 09:15 PM
I'm looking for opinions on the best bare-boat charter rental places for a small outboard for a day in Key West.
It looks like there are many places to chose from, so it would be great to get a recommendation to help narrow it down. I'm especially interested in considering something that's a step-up from the run of the mill Hurricane Deck boats that seem popular in the rental market down there. Bonus points if they have convenient car parking on-site.
Apologies if this has been asked, but I couldn't find any mention of it.
Thanks for any feedback!

Coming down a day early!

In order to avoid Milton in Miami we have changed our flight from Wednesday to Tuesday. American made it easy, No change fees. Everything is rearranged except BSV. Have not heard if we can add a day there. I guess we'll sleep on the beach one night.

Buying a Home in SXM
PMagistro
10/07/2024 08:18 PM
My wife and I live in NJ and visit St Martin 3-4 times a year and always stay in Orient Beach. We are almost empty nesters and look forward to selling our home. We always thought we'd eventually end up in Florida but have yet to find an area in Florida we like and talked about buying a place in SXM instead but really didn't take it seriously out of fear of hurricanes as well as being outside of the US (namely healthcare concerns) for a prolonged period of time.
I think we've come around to the fact that there is truly no area that is safe from storms, etc and life happens.
We therefore would are entertaining the idea of keeping our beach house on the Jersey Shore, selling our main home in Northern New Jersey and investigating buying a place in SXM that we'd use of say 7-8 months per year.
While this sounds great on paper, we are totally ignorant as to the issues involved such as State taxes, healthcare, citizenship versus residency, and whether the French or Dutch side offers better alternatives for Americans. I am a planner by nature and don't want to make a decision based solely on the price of the unit and our love of the Island.
Would appreciate any direction any one can provide to help address issues like this. Thanks in advance.

Vegetarian options on the French Side / Orient
Trevor
10/07/2024 05:35 PM
Any good tips for places with vegetarian or vegan options that isn't just a pizza? As in dishes that are actually plant and grain heavy? I adapted a stricter plant based diet this year for heart health reasons (and its working, LDL cholesterol down 100 points!).
We'll be going the last week in November / first week in Dec and spending half the trip in Orient bay.

We are looking to bareboat in Greece next summer, possibly out of Corfu. Looking for recommendations for charter companies. Looking for a cat with 4 cabins for 8 people or so.
Thanks!
