Hey, all! We will be visiting Tortola (land based in Apple Bay) in March for the first time in about 8 years and have a bunch of questions: Can we still take the ferry from the West End to JVD? Assuming yes, is there still a "shuttle" that will take us from the ferry dock to the Soggy Dollar bar area? (If not, what’s the best way to get there?) Is the beach bar at Josiah’s Bay still in business? How about the beach bar at Brewer’s Bay? Are there any vendors at Smuggler’s Cove? (The last time we were there, there were two or three entrepreneurs selling food and drinks and one renting out kayaks.) There used to be several restaurants other than Pussers at the West End, but I’m not seeing them on any of the restaurant lists. Are most of them closed? (I wish I could remember their names. One was a floating dock on the water that had great lobster. One was part of a small upscale hotel that I can’t remember the name of.) I see that Da Loose Mongoose (always a fave) has renovated and expanded!! What about the restaurants at Trellis Bay that you used to have to take a boat to? (Again, I can’t remember their names—ugh!) Has anything ever happened with the Tamarind Club building? Or the building where Fat Hog Bob’s used to be? Does anybody know what's going on (if anything) with the former Surfsong property on Beef Island? (We were married there in 2007.) Are there any new places to check out? All info and recommendations are much appreciated!
