Mal and I drove past the testing centre at the school in Sea Cows bay yesterday and the place was full. I suppose that they are overloaded with testing right now so I probably won't be able to squeeze in to get my exit test. I had Antigua on my list as a possible next stop, but if you arrive without a valid test you will spend 14 days in quarantine (regardless of vaccination status) and since the test needs to be less than 72 hours old and getting the results here will take 2 days plus 2 days of sailing time that destination is out for me! From a friend who arrived in Dutch St. Martin he said it cost him $800 to clear in. It looks like St. Martin French Side or Guadeloupe is next on my travel list. My entry stamp expires on Tuesday and since the same department that is refusing to answer my exit-permission questions is responsible for extending stays I'm not too sanguine about getting anything done in time.
