We also went down in December. Got a similar greeting to both of you: unfriendly Immigration guy and the Customs guy tried to charge us duty on our boat and car parts, which were clearly itemized and separated from taxable items. We had to pay the new entry fee, as well as the departure fee.
We spent the week at our house, as, except for Trellis Bay Market, nothing in Trellis Bay, Marina Cay or Scrub is open. Not one house on our island has electricity, nor have we been given any indication of when we may get it. We have written off this year and maybe next year, largely due to lack of available supplies and contractors.
Going down again this week to try to get things going. If we didn’t own property, I doubt I would ever want to go back to the BVI.
