Saint Patrick's Day 2Travelers 11 hours ago Was at Fat Tonys tonite and they are getting ready for the 17th. Tuesday Morning will start with discounted beer, also during the day they will have music and some Irish dancers. It will be an all day affair. They are even going to paint the speed bump in front of Fat Tonys again. I took pictures of the menus he had and attached them here. Painted speed bump is from last year.

Itinerary Suggestions April 4-11 FirstMate4Life Yesterday at 08:34 PM Hi,

We are traveling with our two teenagers to the BVI's for spring break. Bare boating. We have sailed the BVI's many times, but our last trip there was in 2015, without kids.

It seems much has changed in way of cruise ships, buoy reservations, and dinner reservations. We would rather not get sucked into cruise crowds or miss out on dinners because we didn't know to plan ahead and make reservations.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Lunch pardon my french RonDon Yesterday at 07:30 PM Drove right by so had to turn around. Couldn’t find a parking spot. Ended up parking near Skip Jack. Long walk for Don but luckily he had his cane. I say luck because I threw out my right knee as we entered the restaurant and almost collapsed. Made it to a table with hubby’s and Novak’s help.

Lunch was fabulous! 3 course fix price $34.95. Don had salad, chicken cordon blu, flan. I had salad, boeuf burgonion lemon cream.
Sorry Whaletail for not having your recommendation chocolate bomb. I passed because the filling was hazelnut mouse.

Don walked alone with his cane to get the car. Drove up to restaurant front handed me his cane and I exited the place, limped to car. Not sure what we will do about going to fly Saturday.

We will definitely return..to this restaurant again!

Thursday RonDon Yesterday at 12:03 PM Checked out of gcbc and headed to BSV. One reason we stayed gcbc was because after many years of staying in March at BSV we couldn’t get a booking for our usual 2 week stay.

Tracy did have Thursday and Friday but we passed. That is until jet blue changed our return flight from 4pm to 11:30am and seeing how bad traffic was from Gc to Maho airport we thought we’d never make it so I contacted Tracy and asked if she still had that 2 days. So here we are.

Last night we met up with mr and mrs whaletail, Kim Judy, and other TtOL ‘s at D’S bar. I’ll let whale post of the fun we had and some photos.

TTOL Get Together Whale Tail Yesterday at 11:53 AM Yesterday a small group TTOL'ers got together at D's Beach Bar for drinks and 4 of us stayed for dinner. The conversation was easy with a few laughs thrown in, and as always I learned new things from a wealth of knowledge sitting at the table.

The people that attended are RonDon, Rosemary and Don, Bill and Elaine, Kim and Joan, SeaLady29, Connie and Gary and The Whale Tail's, Gary and Bernie.

Rosemary and Don and us stayed for dinner, 2 of us had Stuffed Grilled Pineapple Fried Rice with Shrimp and 1 with Chicken and 2 of us had, you guessed it an 8oz Angus Cheeseburger.

Time well spent.

Wednesday RonDon 03/12/2026 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 03/12/2026 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.
