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.

The Sunday night bar b q and The Elmtones should be on for quite a whi;e. Elvet the owner is notorious for not promoting..I usually drop by and ask.I would guess the boys will be playing the cook will be cooking..It is at the Elm..not near it..

Try Stormy Pirate's

I have no idea what AAA would have to offer. Washington St Real ID is an enhanced driver's license. There is a rather long list of approved ID that the TSA will accept including the Passport Card and GE card. Hence I see no need in getting an enhanced drivers license when I have those others to fly domestically.

Looking forward to some BVI exploration, we arrive on Saturday. We'd like to visit Norman Island / Willy T one day, is there a way other than private charter to do this from Tortola? I checked with Pirates Bight and they said there isn't any transportation from there to the Willy. Any insights would be appreciated.

I think we have decided to try Pollos Hermanos some other time, if it works out.

Whale Tail--I think as of now, we have decided on a variation of that. Go get our groceries, come back by D's beach bar and order, go on to the house and put away stuff. Then send Eric back over to pick up carry out.

Forms are no longer given out. There is a departure fee, but it is almost always built into your fare when you purchase your ticket.

Thanks all,

Hmm, sticker shock may put a damper on this plan. We'll see.

Great info. Thanks for replying!

I didn’t see anybody respond to this question.
I had friends walk by the other day and sent me this photo.
The restaurant dining room and kitchen were damaged by the fire.

That whole part of the marina will be fenced off for several weeks while the authorities investigate the fire which started in the kitchen of the closedown Spinnaker restaurant .

This is what it looked like a couple days ago, so it will not be opening for several weeks or months.

Do any of the shuttles from the east end restaurants (Saba Rock, BEYC, Oil Nut Nova) go as far as Leverick or do they just go to Gun Creek?

Are there any laundry facilities in North Sound besides Leverick?

I see dozens diving each week. With a simple Hawaiian sling I could pop them left and right! They are actually quite tasty!

Thanks all. We have a reservation at Tipsy Shark.

pony--thanks. I may try that.

Any one have experience at the Blue Bay apartments in Orient? Stay again or not ....

Thanks

$10 per box. Normally paid onboard or after unloading, but can be prepaid if you can find the purser before the ferry leaves.

Did you ever pull the trigger on Belize?

Thank you for posting about Pardon My French. Your photos are great.
It is now on the list for our upcoming trip in May. I know that Marc will like a few things on the menu.

"Duckfat"..you made it for us up here on Sonoma and it was just as good as Palm's Delight which makes me wonder why they cant replicate Iona's recipe just like you..

Yes Sponsor page needs updating. On contact email

Many cruise lines offer voyages that end on a different island, usually so the itinerary isn’t so rushed. Personally, I think it’s great - more islands to experience.

Thank you guys, that's great

I would start with the airport website.
