For the sake of all those down there who depend on tourism for their livelihood, I certainly hope for a speedy and full recovery. But the selfish part of me wishes for a trip like the old days ...when, for instance, you could go
to the Baths without the crush of all humanity!


The crowds at the Baths are generally not sailors but rather cruise ship passengers and day trippers. The cruise ships are back. My impression is that there are less charter boats out but the number of overnight spots have been reduced (Saba, BEYC, Sopers,) so the available anchorages are pretty full.
