Arriving Today crsxm Yesterday at 01:34 PM First time flying through Charlotte on AA. I think I must have a flight delay cloud hanging over me. Four recent trips and all have had flight delays. We are delayed about 99 minutes now. Hopefully we take off at 10:40 am. Two weeks in paradise awaits. First time bringing our 10 month old granddaughter--can't wait to share the island with her!

New "No trespassing" sign AUCspouse 07/17/2025 08:51 PM Pedestrians have been walking from the Cupecoy / A.U.C. neighborhood to Mullet Bay Beach for decades. Before Kalatua Restaurant plonked itself down in the middle of the beach, there was simply a narrow pedestrian path that indicated where people walked. If a golfer was teeing up at the top of the hill near the cliff, most pedestrians, out of respect for the golfers, would walk up the hill around the golfer rather than trying to cross the green. All was well.

Now Kalatura restaurant is ferrying customers in golf carts from the Starz Casino parking lot to their new restaurant -- creating new ruts in the golf course, and opportunities for narrow automobiles to follow the golf carts and park on the golf course (especially on weekends). Perhaps a problem, but one entirely created by Kalatua, not pedestrians.

Solution: A new "No trespassing" sign has been installed at the corner of the golf course near Cupecoy Beach Club, where pedestrians cross to the beach. Needless to say, pedestrians are ignoring the new sign.

Southwest coming to STT early 2026 tpcook 07/14/2025 02:52 PM Now is the time for an innovative person from the BVI to bring passengers directly from the southwest gate to a ferry, which would facilitate customs clearance on the ferry.

late July/August questions... BEERMAN 07/14/2025 12:14 AM I am very happy the family decided to return to the BVI waters! But our timing at the end of season and with a 7 year absence has me doing a lot of research!!. We have chartered in July before and have worked around some closures, those didn't deter us from having an amazing time! I have found the following closings on websites...

- Cooper Island - last day of service is Sunday, August 4.
- BEYC - closes August 1.
- Pirates (Bight) says open through July, sent email to find accurate date.
- Leverick - Upstairs dining is closed
- Foxy's Taboo - closes Aug 1.
- Coco Maya - closed on Sun/Mon

Do you know of any establishments closing late July early August not listed? Any and all locations, we plan to spend to spend time around Jost and CGB near the end of the trip in August.

Can you recommend any new stops especially since 2017? Restaurants? new grocery? anything of interest that a charter might find helpful?

Depending on weather, and racing the closures, we adjusted our preliminary itinerary to include The Bight, Cooper and Bitter End by the end of July.

Thank you for your help!

The West End Yacht Club Westedndyachtclub 07/13/2025 01:00 PM Hi everyone,

I’m Steve Varrow, recently appointed Commodore of the West End Yacht Club here in the beautiful British Virgin Islands. As many of you may know, our club has a long-standing tradition of organizing fun, friendly, and inclusive sailing events—bringing together locals, cruisers, and visiting yachts from around the world.

The West End Yacht Club (WEYC) is not your typical stuffy yacht club. We’re a laid-back, community-driven group with a passion for sailing, camaraderie, and giving back. Our regattas—like the Firecracker Regatta, Foxy’s Wooden Boat Regatta, and the Dark & Stormy—are legendary in the Caribbean and support youth sailing and local charities throughout the year.

If you’re planning a visit, are anchored nearby, or simply want to stay in the loop, I invite you to register on our website for updates about upcoming races, social gatherings, and charity events:
👉 www.westendyachtclubbvi.com

Whether you’re a seasoned skipper or new to the sailing scene, we’d love to have you join the fun. Everyone’s welcome—no jacket and tie required!

Fair winds,
Steve Varrow
