Dumb question time - -
Guineaman
53 minutes ago
Let's say I have a U.S flagged center console (undocumented, 36 ft.) legally in the BVI. I want to take it over to St. Thomas.
Do I clear customs at Cruz Bay? Can I simply tie up at the custom's pier?
On the way back to VG, do I have to stop at Cruz Bay again and clear out? I know I have to clear coming into the BVI.
All very hypothetical, but thinking about doing something.
Thanx

Hi! We will be flying out of EIS on 11/8 @ on American @ 1:05. If we take the 10:30 North Sound Express, will we have ample time to make our flight? We’ve only ferried in and out of Spanish Town to Roadtown and taxi to EIS We’re staying in Leverick this trip so exploring this as an option.
TIA!

Day 8 Monday A Good Day

The newbies are early risers like me, so we got started at about 6:00 with coffee and headed out for pastries from LaSucriere. We all leave on Friday so I am letting them make the call as to what they want to see and do on their short 5-day visit. Since we were out, we decided to show them the "hill" and the views from there. There are a couple of pigs there now to go with the chickens. We hiked up to the flagpole (no flag) for a better view. The area was cleaner than in May but is still in need of people not leaving trash behind. We headed towards town so they could see the viea aas yo uapproach DIvi and then turned around and headed back.
We got the pastries and enjoyed them from the balcony here at The Horny Toad. They took a walk towards Mary's Boon while we enjoyed some beach time and a swim. We wanted to try Driftwood for some plane watching, but the area was packed, as the cruise ship tour bus had just dropped a lot of people. We dodged those walking in the road and went to D's Beach Bar. They enjoyed the planes coming in, and we again had a drink and some of their fries. I wanted them to see Mullet Bay, but the parking lot was packed (and in terrible shape), so we passed. The did get to see Mullet Bay from about the No.1SXM later in the day.
Tonight was the suset cruise aboard the N0.1SXM. Pieter made 3 trips in the dinghy for the 16 guests going. There was ample wind, and we were underway. Mirian offered a light snack and a variety of refreshments. I was able to point out several things while we sailed towards Long Bay. I could tell everyone was enjoying the ride and being totally under sail/wind power. The weather did not cooperate for a green flash, but when we turned to head back, the wind made for some fun sailing. We had more snacks and drinks and fun conversation with Pieter and Mirian and a young Dutch couple who were on board as well. I go back to the old Passaat days with them and continue to think sailing with them is one of the best deals on the island. We were taken back to the dock just as it started to rain.
We opted for SMYC since we were very close and the rain was picking up. We all opted for burgers that were cooked as requested. The fries were still lacking, but I was able to get some seasoned salt that made them closer to what we enjoyed last week. The food was good, with no service charge (unlike the last visit with the same number of people), but service could have been better. One person took our orders, another person brought the food out, and nobody came back to check on the table. For some reason, we were offered an after-dinner drink on the house ? Brian?
Overall, a really good day, and the newbies are really impressed with The Horny Toad and thought the sunset sail was top-notch. My wife also enjoyed it as she was very apprehensive.

VG land based question
Murdock
Yesterday at 10:33 PM
Good day -
Do any of you have any ideas for me beyond the obvious solutions…..
If a total of 8 or more adults and children were to book a land-based Virgin Gorda property…what is the best solution in moving this group of folks around quickly and efficiently - from North Sound spots (assume gun creek ferry is best option), Anegada day trip (assume RT plane ride for day - maybe 2 planes; or ferry MWF), JVD (assume ferry RT on a wednesday if in season)….
I can see our family leisurely enjoying the Baths, 2 days at Savannah Bay, the hike to top of VG/observation tower, and then wanting more after day 4 of VG….but visiting more BVI seems sort of cost prohibitive.
Depending on sea conditions a large RIB seems like an option if available - haven’t started a real search for one of those yet…
Any thoughts appreciated.
