Bollinger is my choice on that

I agree with a lot of that. When I head down there my phone goes into airplane mode and I only bring it out to take pictures or keep in touch with friends every couple of days or so. That being said there are so many boats and the demand is high in many of the bays so it sucks to have to leave the water at 1 to find a mooring. BoatyBall makes it easier for the locals to manage their moorings and it provides boaters with a way to stay on the water longer even if it does involve getting your phone out for a couple of minutes. For me that’s worth it, and for others it may not be; just different tastes.


Also, as Christo pointed out yesterday, there’s still plenty of mooring ball entertainment left in the BVI. Cheers

Enjoy!

WBR and Poker Run have always been the same weekend. It's just that until 2016, JVD was never a stop. In '17, we added Taboo as a stop and moved the regatta up by a few weeks to the last weekend in April (more to accommodates boats in Antigua that might be headed up to the Med or East Coast for labour day) . In '18, Taboo was non existent, so Foxy's became the stop and WBR was cancelled for the year as it was still post Irma. This year both Taboo and Foxy's are stops and WBR is back to the Memorial Day weekend. No wooden boats this year, but a handful of local Tortola boats and one from Puerto Rico.

I'm hoping it will open next week while we are still here. I understand it will be owned and operated by SBR.

We agree about Cool Breeze. Great food (breakfast for us) and great staff.

Awesome, we still have our balls and hopefully we I’ll blow them up and join you in the future. Why does my wife always smile when I read Dr J posts to her? Hmmm

I can answer for RI - yes, a elevator to upper floors

RI has two wings - an L shape. Wing "1" is on the street side, "2" is parallel to the Maho hotel next door
The RI web site has room plans for the 1 and 2 bed units

Room # info - the room tells you where the room is
Room 4104 means
4 - 4th floor
1 - street wing
04 - 4th from the elevator

I bet it would have been really great fun if a big swell had come up during the night or a serious squall, maybe they had foul weather PJ's aboard?

Ok, thanks for the info! So are you drinking your lunch? Enjoy!

Unlikely to find a mooring for seasonal rental that time of year - but a possibility once you are here asking around.
Plenty of dock space, Crown Bay Marina, Yacht Haven, possibly Sapphire Marina.
Plenty of anchorage room in different areas if you are aboard, and maybe move to a marina for times you are off island?

You might post this on the USVI forum for some different responses.

The yacht harbor is still being used by the Dive BVI boats and the Anegada Express, when it’s running, we tried going twice this week but they had mechanical issues.
The Rendezvous Bar and Bath & Turtle are now located next to Chez Bamboo.
