The first time my wife and I sailed in the BVI - I think it was May of '95 - Trellis was a hopping place. So many boats anchored that you could just about walk across the bay without getting wet. The Last Resort was a charming spot with live entertainment and a buffet dinner with a packed house. Including a donkey that would poke it's head in through the top half of the dutch door! It was a fun place. Those were the days!
Life's short - sail more!

We would keep it simple
Call ahead and reserve a slip at Scrub, or get there early and pick up a mooring at Marina Cay. We are not big fans of mooring at trellis.
The dock banger goes from trellis to Marina cay , to Scrub r/t on a constant schedule. TheY call it a ferry, and it actually has grown from a dock banger to an official ferry.
This next trip # 17 for sailing the BVI.,,,Coming from Leverick, would probably get a slip for a couple of days at SCRUB.... take the dock banger to Trellis for the full moon party, but also spend some time at SCRUB hiking, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, swimming, enjoying the beaches, and partying.
Then, since we enjoy Marina Cay as well, after a couple or so days at Scrub, motor over and pick up a mooring at Marina Cay, snorkel / swim to the beach, enjoy the sunshine, have a painkiller, make a reservation for dinner at marina cay, under the tent.
Also, we would dink ashore early if the hill top bar is open with live music and dancing, and then walk down to dinner under the tent.
Drop off the next morning, motor thru the Camanoe Passage to Monkey Point, Guana Island, for some great snorkeling and then sail to Jost. First to Diamond Cay, Foxys Taboo, and next door to Little Jost for the B-Line Bar.

As I recall, there were two or three Chocolates, a Vanilla, and I think the last one was Strawberry. I was told by the Snells' good friend and longtime employee, Phillip, that the last one met his demise during a donkey-napping attempt. My memory of the details is fuzzy. I know that Jessica and Jeremy (Tony and Jackie's kids) have both faced serious health issues. Subleasing the place was a bust, but Jessica and Ben's return most recently was a success. Since the place was all but destroyed during Irma, I doubt that either of the Snell kids will have the energy to rebuild. But that's just speculation.
I remember the days when the kids were little and running around the island with abandon. Tony was his usual eccentric self. There were dogs everywhere, and of course, Chocolate - who would be happy to drink a beer if you bought him one. Phillip constantly breathed new life into the generator to keep Tony's show going, and Jackie held the whole wacky crew together. I miss those days.
