Blue Sail is part of the hotel of the same name located at the marina. Del arti is open Sunday thru Saturday 10 am till 11 pm

Delarti an Italian restaurant located on the right after parking, and Blue Sail near the coastguard, across from Secrets if you were to walk out their door and toward the water inlet, are the only two I remember. Not sure if either will be open in June.

Steve McGarret had the manifests back in Honolulu on Hawaii 5-0 in the 1970s……..I miss the more primitive times.

I understand the Secrets in Anse Marcel will be closing in June for renovations. What restaurant options will be available in Anse Marcel during the renovations? We will be staying in the marina for a couple of nights.

Thanks!

Lots of boats are overnight at Savannah right now. very calm

agree rent a car

Happy Wednesday TTOLers!

What's the current status of the phone booth shower on the T-dock at Leverick? (I saw a photo of a shell / skeleton of the phone booth many years ago and am just curious)

Separately, who helps out on the dock now....is Tito still around? (I think I have that name correct, it's been a while since we've been down...)

There will be taxis but I would Advise renting a car..I believe you can do that thro Speedys.You will have the freedom to explore and will save a lof of $$$$$...

LINK REAL ID

Florida's real ID is an enhanced driver's license. Initially there was some additional paperwork required, but all in all, worth it. It's required for anyone who renews their DL here.

Looks like Big Bamboo will be the place for the birthday lunch!

I doubt they could do the Washington St real ID that is an enhanced driver's license.

AAA is authorised to issue Real ID. They take in documentation and send it to issuing authority.

We plan on taking the 9am Speedy’s ferry from Road Town to Virgin Gorda next Monday and heading back on the 3:30pm. It’s our first time to VG, so we’ll definitely check out the Baths and want to stop at a few beach bars and explore the island a bit. Are there usually taxis waiting at the dock, or should we line something up ahead of time?

Todd--OK, thanks. I definitely know where Fat Tony's is.

Big Bamboo's ice cream is a treat!!

La Chingona is just around the corner from Fat Tony's towards the med school.

I would bet that Eric would like the Chicken Tikka, probably the Chicken Frankie's as well.

BHK: Are you talking about Ocean’s Edge on Simpson Bay, near Mary’s Boon. Our last time there the place was run down and we even had a fire in the unit due to a short in the wiring. Staying at Coco’s just down the beach next time.

Of the three, I would recommend Le Cottage.
Their lobster bisque topped with puff pastry served with a lobster foam on the side is excellent.
For dessert the caramel soufflé is a great way to end.

Not one of your choices but if only one meal in Grand Case, I would enjoy Le Pressoir.

The Key Cay anchorage is pretty easy anchoring with good sand holding, but the last time we were there in December it looked like someone was putting in a bunch of mooring balls so not sure if it is viable anymore. any heavy SE swell or wind i think could make it a pretty uncomfortable night.

The anchoring between Eustatia and Prickly Pear also has good holding in sand and is pretty comfortable in normal wind conditions. Have been there by ourselves and with as many as 5 other boats comfortably spaced. The reef offers good protection from all but a strong NE swell. The entrance to the north is pretty straight forward if you pay attention to the charts and steer clear of the reef extending from the north side of Eustatia to the west. You will likely have a few local boats run through the area behind you at fairly high speed though so just be aware.

White Bay on Guana has like 5 balls but not sure of their restrictions if you want to go ashore.

Diamond Cay has plenty of balls so I wouldn't call it secluded but is a fine anchorage to overnight in most of the time. For seclusion on JVD, would try Little Harbour as it tends to be much less crowded and a couple of classic restaurants to eat at as well.

Never overnighted at Long Bay so can't comment there. Love Savannah Bay as we almost always have the place to ourself but it is redlined for many charter companies.

"Police remind all road users that reckless driving, failure to obey traffic rules, and fleeing the scene of an accident are serious criminal offences."

Yes they are. It would be nice if the police started enforcing this instead of just giving it lip service.

Unfortunately some states are passing laws to make lane splitting legal. Crazy world we live in.

Motorbike "lane - splitting" must be stopped. The bikes should be required to travel in the same manner as automobiles.

..in all sorts of crimes....
