BSV questions turqwater 4 hours ago We stayed at BSV 2 years ago and are thinking about staying there again. However we had 2 issues: only a screen in the bedroom window facing the airport so it was very loud and the skylight leaked badly when it rained.
Is that just how it is? Is there usually glass in that window?

Cottage cheese KGB 6 hours ago Please don’t think I’m insane… Wife wants to know where can we buy a plain cottage cheese on the island. She was trying to find it last year but apparently didn’t see any. Delicious croissants and crapes don’t cut anymore 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Dinner At D's But The Music - OMG Whale Tail 10 hours ago Dinner at D's. My wife had the Pineapple Fried Rice With Shrimp and you guessed it I had, a cheeseburger with fries. But it was really good, 8 oz of Angus Beef.

That's not the reason for this post. The music was one of those nights where you didn't expect what you were about to experience. There is a group of island musicians who are really good but every now and then when you think that you are going to be entertained by Ronnie Santana and the Real Deal, then a guest musician or singer shows up out of the crowd. Tonight that happened!!!

The first set this singer did a couple of songs with Ronnie Santana, Lee Hardesty, Rodrigo Froes, Eric Sardin and he was pretty good. But the second set he was featured and boy did he shine. Even the band was in awe of his performance and you could see them looking at him with awe and it made them perform even better. I tried to capture their emotions with my pictures.

After the show I asked the people at the bands table, who is this guy. His name is Vere Hill. They said, You Tube him singing Tennessee Whiskey with a street musician in Sarasota. The video has 25 million views.

You never know what you might experience on this island when it comes to live music.

Tonight was one of those nights.

Another NFL Owners Yacht Shows Up In Simpson Bay Whale Tail Yesterday at 09:42 PM We just got to D's Beach Bar for Ronnie Santana and the Real Deal and will have dinner here. There is one impressive yacht anchored right here. So of course I had to find out who owns this beauty. It's Shahid Khan the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars yacht now called Whisper formally Kismet. It's 400 feet long and you can charter this baby right now at the winter rate of $3,000,000.00 per week plus expenses.

Sunset & Fireworks Pics - Part 1 Whale Tail Yesterday at 12:12 PM We didn't know where the fireworks were going to be fired off from so we just stayed at SBR. As it turned out they were fired off from the lagoon, maybe by the causeway. If we went to SMYC there would have been too many people in the way. Still got some good ones though. Too many pics for one post so I had to divide it into two.

Bring beef to SXM srl520 Yesterday at 12:11 AM Wife and I have been to SXM many times and every time we eat out alot. It has become very expensive since 10yrs ago. We always look forward to eating out at night at many of the French Restaurants.
Last yr we decided we should make some meals and save some money. We are coming to Orient Village for 3 wks and would like to bring some beef with us if it is allowed. Is this allowed
to bring in from the US?

Yay!! It’s almost time!! Questions … GettinBye 01/09/2026 07:01 PM We are arriving onto Anegada via Island Birds Jan 19. Last time I was there the sargassum was pretty bad (last February I think ) -except for Tipsy who kept the area pristinely. How’s it looking this year ? It will be our guests’ first visit to both Anegada and VG. We are doing a conch tour as well.

Then after a few fabulous days on Anegada we are heading to Virgin Gorda for five days. Hoping to get out on a charter with Elaine. And all the usual spots. Hog Heaven, sugarcane, coco maya, Leverick. Any other new places worth checking out? We always love to go see Jude when we go to the Baths. Guess I better take a look at the cruise schedule to plan that outing. Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated!!! Can’t wait!!!
