Arriving back in 11 days and were wondering about the road conditions. The roads were rough before Irma and are they worse or about the same? We like to go to Grand Case, and Orient Beach, so we were particularly interested in the main roads from Simpson Bay to both Grand Case and Orient Beach? How is the main road in Grand Case?

I would also add Pineapple Pete in Simpson Bay to the list.

When we were on the island in September we went to Sale & Pepe for our 40th anniversary dinner. The food was great and I think we sat at the same table you were out. On the patio right up the steps. The food was excellent as was the service.

Irma took a lot of our wildlife

Sadly, our week is 48 at RI which is the week before they open. We will be on the island already for week 47 (11/24 - 12/1) and 48 (12/1 - 12/8) but had not rented a place for the second week, hoping it would be open at RI. This news caused us to scramble a bit for a place (12/1 - 12/8) but we found that there are lots of open properties and were able to find a villa in Pointe Blanche overlooking the cruise port at a very reasonable price. We will just roll over our maintenance fee at RI to 2019. Can't wait to get back again!

That's what I thought but when Kenney said Grand Case I figured he would know as a local.

Thanks for the reports and pictures. We can almost feel being there.

Those two are about a mile south of the Yacht Harbor on the main road. Another fairly large store is Rosy's, which is about a half mile east of the other two. Also, Supa Valu has a medium size store near the airport.

Likely as not, those mooring balls are USFW, as Canal Luis Pena is one of their wildlife preserves. Fishing is prohibited there, but Lionfish might be excepted. Ill be there Saturday and will update, if signal permits.

St Thomas Bay is a nice anchorage as long as you don’t have strong northerly winds or winds from the west.
You can easily take your dinghy to the Baths and use your dinghy to enter the yacht harbor where you can do some provisioning and lunch.

No Slight perceived I only learned about this form after we got our timeshare. I appreciate all the insight in the learning and I love the pictures.

I was just asking about the nightly fee since it seems so much more expensive compared toward our timeshare cost on a per night basis. But I also realize it’s Apples to oranges.

I appreciate all the insight and the learning and I love the pictures.

Are you sure that his boat is being rebuilt? His Facebook pages continues to post pictures from reef tours.

Thanks everyone
