Re: Long time gone DanS 2 hours ago
Our most recent charter was on a Lagoon 42 from BVI Yacht Charters. One contributor to easy handling was its small, self-tacking jib. Perhaps not optimal for speed, but it makes tacking simply a matter of turning the wheel.

Another factor can be the condition of the boat. The Lagoon was mostly in excellent shape, but some of the blocks did have very high friction. That sometimes made it necessary to go to the mast or to the end of the boom to figure out what was going on, and/or to free up the lines. Not a big deal, but if you're looking for easy...

Dan cheers

Re: Beach Chair/Umbrella Rental kim 5 hours ago
Tiki Hut on HHI is a very cool place to hang out, it’s been years but we had a blast there. Beach chairs are pricey and definitely wouldn’t go every day. But looks like it has beach service now. The music daily is awesome. When I searched it has definitely expanded over the 10 years since I was there. Daily - no thanks. But one day. Probs!

Re: Zezgo or North Car Rental - anybody heard of or used? Colour1 13 hours ago
At 10 days, $126 total ???? Sounds like "Rent-a-wreck"!!! I don't drive a wreck at home, not going to pay to drive one on the island!!! For the last eight years we have been renting from SAX, a lovely couple Cindy and Anil Puran have taken us in like family!! Great service and great rates!!! I'm all about service!!! These people provide that and then some!! https://www.saxcarrental.com/

OK, thanks.

You're welcome.

We have always had wonderful internet service there. We are online a LOT while there and service was better than here at home.

If you elect to hike up Mt Scenic take plenty of water. While I was diving my wife made it to the top with a friend and got severely dehydrated. We took the Edge over and back.

BEYC will be extremely busy the days before, and immediately after, Christmas in July.

The Puerto Ricans are absolutely awesome. But I highly doubt you will be able to get dock space there now as it will already have been all reserved.

Island Beachcomber Hotel Rumlover 06/19/2025 07:39 PM
Has the Island Beachcomber Hotel been demolished yet. The last information that I saw in one of the local news papers was demolition was supposed to start on March 3rd. I spent many a night/week there before Irma, and a couple of nights in April or May 2018 before it closed for ever.

Just checked and it's working for me too.
Yesterday I thought that it was one of those "content not available at your location" things.

Re: Recent Dinners Colour1 06/18/2025 08:42 AM
Reading your foodie report makes me homesick for all the times we stayed on the French side. There are a lot of good restaurants on the Dutch side, but hard to compare to the French side!! For such a spectacular villa, I would be really "twisted" about no hot water the first day!! I hope VRBO compensated you for that!! I would imagine ,they would NOT want a bad review on there page!!! God bless forty seven years!! Happy anniversary!!!

Here are a couple pics from January when we were there, there are three places on Friars but we always go to Friar's Bay Beach Cafe. We park behind where 971 is and then make the walk across to FBBC.

Re: Passport Renewal Timing maineskier69 06/17/2025 01:00 PM
I just renewed mine in January online, not expedited and got it in 2 weeks. My friend was nervous of his expiring in between trips and started that Gov.org service, but I told him STOP! He went the direct route like I did and had just about the same turnaround.
