This trip summary is based on two different charters that where back to back and is my actual experiences - (please excuse my bad grammar)
Airport- STT no issues -smooth
Ferry - Smiths - no issues - took first available - temporary Customs at cruise ship dock
Charter Company's Dream Yacht Charters - brand new Saona 47- boat was great Sleep aboard -Boat was ready upon arrival to Hodges Creek on gen-set - was instructed to use bathroom facilities at Cat Co - one unisex bathroom/shower was open but had no power or running water upon arrival - water was restored to the bathroom in the morning when Cat Co employees arrived - Hodges Creek has only two workable docks and no other amenities at this time due to structure damaged, utilities to an array of boat issues
Captain Compass - 43 Leopard- Boat was ready upon my arrival but unfortunately my crew was stuck in Atlanta a day prior due to a snow storm and would not be arriving until that evening . Was able to provision the boat thru Brent's taxi connection and when the crew arrived later that day and we had a wonderful meal at Gene's . Manual Marina - bathrooms( no shower ) , grocery store , boat store, laundry mat and restaurant are all open . About 50 % of the dock was operational with structure and boat issues with the remaining
Virgin Gorda Baths- wonderful - was able to get a ball and swim in twice -
Leverick Bay - Beans and Jumbies were great Open - dock , restaurant, grocery store , spa , laundry , one retail store , - work in progress on remaining retail
Prickly Pear - not open but beach and snorkeling was great
Anegada - Potters - open and had a great meal by Sam Big Bamboo- open with very little noticeable damage Anegada Reef Hotel - open had the typical beach lobster dinner Beach Club- to open Feb 1 Lobsters trap - open Neptunes - open - wonderful breakfast x2 from Pam's kitchen - had a great Happy Hour breaking in the new outside bar with Mark , Pam and the boys Cow Wreck - open - Bell, Ann and Andrew are wonderful- concrete bar still in place with Bell adding some additional areas - :lunch x3 - was great each time with Bells love in each
Norman Island Pirates open with the smaller open air bar/restaurant with a limited but very good menu , crew loved hanging out on the beach with cocktails being served and three had a beach side massage from a masseuse that use to work a Peter island Resort Willie-T - still washed up on the shore line
Copper - closed but snorkeling was great and a nice stop for lunch on the boat
Jost Van Dyke - Foxy's - open crew enjoyed dancing the night away Soggy Dollar - open - it was great to see Jerry and Tish - pain Killers were flowing Great Harbor- water , fuel, grocery
Cane garden Bay - Myetts - open - enjoyed the beach and lunch with only 6 other guest - was great to just dingy in and beach it- avoiding the dock
Sandy Spit - just a nice pile of soft sand on the coral -
Sandy Cay - same as previous years
Overall the trip was great !! Upon first arrival their was some serious doubts and guilt but once we got settled in, the people and natures beauty shined
Like any sailing trip there were some little hiccups with logistics and resources but I will say this was my most memorable and peaceful trips out of the last 16 visits
