Thx for posting the recovery video, I hadn't seen that, great team effort by everyone at PJIA. We will be there in mid-November, wouldn't be surprised if it has flown out by then. Not sure if it was just cowling damage to the #2 engine though, was that fluid leaking onto the runway from a damaged accessory inside the cowling? If so may need some more extensive work than just a new cowling even if short of a full engine swap.
Dave.

Thanks, they are offering a 30 dollar a month rate. For 10 more they add full international in 186 countries including the BVI. 40 a month seems to good to be true! The 40 rate includes 10GB’s of foreign data and free voice and text. You must however have spectrum internet service to get the rate.

Right, our L40 had a double mainsheet so I was surprised the later introduced L50 didn't.

Especially with the sky lounge, the double mainsheet seems so much safer. Quieter at anchor too.

Thank you

My friend worked for Circle Line NYC. When US Airways went into the Hudson river January 09. The insurance company made a deal for anyone on the plane, one shot deal, no lawyers. 250K each, take or leave it!!! The owner of Circle Line wanted to cash in on this deal stating we stopped operations to help with the rescue. My friend CFO thought that was a bad idea, since the phones were ringing off the hook for bookings. He was later fired for not putting in for the settlement!! SO!!! 10K isn't much in the thick of things!!!

Considered that for about 2 seconds - will put up with almost anything to get out of Boston ASAP in January! lol

Exactly. The TOT is not to be paid by the customer , but when I read some restaurants call the 15% a tax that's not correct. No Tax on food on SXM.

Rosemary--I could have misunderstood what he said, but I thought he said that they were supposed to take off around 1:30 PM and didn't take off until 10:00 PM. That can't be a problem with air space control.

Us either, just to name a few. But his was at the top of that list!!! IMHO, he's one shadie guy!!

look at this video on youtube, around 2:58 shows the move back off the runway.

I was only half kidding when I said I said they'd put the engine on roller-skates. Instead they propped the wing on a flatbed truck with black tires on it to support the wing. Love seeing the process.

3 weeks ago got 1:1 even using credit card at la villa

It is not advertised any more there and we have been long time customers and friends with Christophe and Axel

I did notice a few other places offering 1:1

Well you can drive it fast if that's what you like. But the distances in the BVI are so short you just putter along at 8 knots and get to your next destination quickly just becuase you are going in a straight line, not tacking back and forth. One other advantage of the power cat rarely mentioned here is that there is a solid front deck making grabbing a ball a lot easier than doing it from a springy tramp with all that rigging in your way.

Good to see you are coming back..

Thanks for sharing all your photos and descriptions! One of the best parts of visiting SXM for us are the great meals we get to enjoy and I love reading your reviews to find places we need to visit

Georgia--we encourage spammers to register? Anyway, this one is done.

Take the 4 pm speedy ferry, direct to vg. No hassle at roadtown with luggage changing ferries.

Understand service at Pizza Italy can be limited as usually only 1-2 servers for the whole seating area.

When not busy, service is good.
Also managers like us and may provide a bit more attention

The wait at little Jerusalem can sometimes be agonizing, learning to call ahead

That should not be a problem. We spend several days a year renting chairs on the Club Orient beach. The chair attendants just ask for the coupons and are not particular about anything. We love the relaxing and de-stressing aspect of spending time there.

Always enjoy the Meal sized Home made Nachos with chili at DD. O always do a “ pour your own “ or 2 at happy hour price. The days of $2.00 anything in bars have sailed.

Always great to arrive again in paradise! Glad to see the seaweed is gone, as it was horrible there for much of the summer.
Enjoy!

Sounds like a great day to me!! Happy anniversary and many more!! Great foodporn pixx!!!

This is all well and fine. But the REAL question is: How do we find a way to capture this product BEFORE it hits landfall????

I couple of things I'll always remember. One are the before and after satellite pictures showing how the green, lush BVI had been stripped to a brown forest of topped trees.

I'll also remember coming for a charter a year after and without exception was awed by the faith and resilience of the people who had lived through it.

Here's to hoping you'll never encounter such a storm again.

The credit mutuel ATM at hope estate near super U dispenses USD & euros. We just get US to use everywhere.

Was there for two weeks over the summer and never used Boatyball. There were plenty of FCFS non boatyball moorings, even at Cooper and Great Harbor. I know this probably isn't the case in peak season, but if I don't have to use it, I'm not going to.
