It is certainly a different experience than Pre Irma. Photo from one of recent visits in 2019. My morning walk quite often ends up at the Bubbly if I am not feeling the walk UP to the spine of Jost.

So not near a pretty, but as the vegetation returns, the natural beauty will be returning. Wes s/v Sea Tiger (2022 Lagoon 46) www.BareBoatBVI.com

Looks like the Bubbly pool lost a boulder or two.
