Re: Zezgo or North Car Rental - anybody heard of or used? Carol_Hill 37 minutes ago
Can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with Scubaman.. I want to be able to depend on the car I rent in SXM and using price as the only criterion, especially when it's a LOT cheaper, sends up lots of red flags to me.

For those that enjoy BMWs and Mercedes, you should have bought months ago or Buy American which I think is the goal.

I lived in Daytona Beach and saw SO MANY PEOPLE win the Darwin Awards on straight and level, dry roads. Mix cars and scooters/motorcycles some people are gonna win the VERY SAD LOTTERY with/without a helmet.

Sand is usually flat and easy to dig trenches and bury pipe and re-level. America has been laying blacktop for over a century. The equipment exists in Florida. Florida builders can build the walls for a concrete block house within a week.

The old parking lot was bumpy after awhile but closing the beach access for a year to pave a parking lot is county government buffoonery.

They will get those baths built just in time for a hurricane storm surge to turn this job into a 2 year closure…….or even if they get it done…the storm will come some year in the future and close the beach for a year.

Haven't seen that beach in 3 months now.

Given that smoking in restaurants was banned in 2007/2008, my hopes are not high, but there is always hope.

You can use the Flamingo pool if it isn't. Much nicer that RP pool.

This might be a good thread for the boss to create a link to this form and pin it to the top of the forum. We will have to hunt for it this month.

PAW BVI - Dog and Cat escort’s needed Scubacat 07/06/2025 11:55 AM
With the end of the season in sight, if you are traveling to the BVI please consider escorting a cat or dog back to a sister rescue in the States. It is super easy to do and can make a huge difference to an animals life.

Please see the flyer below on how to help. Also below are PAW’s spay day numbers, trying to reduce the amount that need to fly!

Re: Long time gone Marilyn 07/05/2025 03:07 PM
We just chartered a FP in May. This was our 17th charter in the BVI but our first on a FP. There were 10 of us and we’re also in the Senior Citizen category. The boat was comfortable and spacious, but we were not fans of the actual sailing performance. For example,
• The boat did not point at all – way worse than any other cat we’ve chartered.
• The air conditioners were on 7 different units and all seven breakers were located down in the engine compartment. They had to be switched on/off one at a time and that meant either crawling into the engine compartment every time you wanted to turn on/off the generator or laying on your belly and reach blindly backwards.
• For our boat the weight of the sail overpowered the electric winch so the sails had to be hauled up largely by hand. Conversely, they then had to be hauled down by hand because they wouldn’t drop on their own. The last 3 feet of sail was particularly difficult and required 2 people up at the mast trying to tug them down.
• The winches could only be run 10 seconds at a time followed by a 5 second rest or they would trip. And the breakers for those were down in the port engine compartment.
• As the dock manager at our charter company said “The French build boats for piddling around the Med. If you want a real sail boat, get one built in South Africa.”

Gotcha. I didn’t realize they had added a bar by the pool. That's a definite plus for hotel guests!

Prague & Bucharest kenmoore 07/03/2025 08:30 PM
My wife and I and another couple are taking a Viking cruise in August from Vienna to Bucharest. Before we board our boat, we will be spending 3 days in Prague. After the cruise, we will be spending an additional 3 days in Bucharest. Does anyone out there have any recommendation for either of the two cities. I'm sure the Viking cruise line will have some delightful suggestions, but I would like to hear from others who have been there.

Thanks.
