Arrived Jan 11th via IAD-STT on United ,before we (crew of 8) were off the plane I was contacted by the taxi driver with Island Time stating the taxi was waiting outside of the luggage area to take us to Red Hook where our water taxi waiting . The water taxi was flawless checking us in at West End and then proceeding to Fat Hogs Bay .Upon arrival to the dock we were greeted by Brent of Captains Compass our boat was ready and waiting for us . After stowing our luggage half of the crew took a taxi arranged by Brent to super market while others waited for Tico's order . After putting the provisions away we walked to nice little bayside restaurant for dinner and then retired to sleep aboard
