So, it's starting to look like we've got a crew together and someone can bring Tortuga over from BVI for a week in Aug. Yeah!
Now I need to figure out USVI. Can anyone point out some resources for: Sample itineraries (I don't believe this trip will bring us to St Croix so really just the St Thomas/St John harbours Mooring and anchorage info Additional cruising guide. We have the regular BVI one that has some pages in the back for USVI Ice/Water options: we have a watermaker but I like to know what Plan B will be Provisioning/Alcohol. Any limitations on bringing in frozen food?
I believe the delivery company will bring it to AYH in Red Hook and we'll have 7-8 days aboard
Thanks for any feedback, this will be a fun crash course!

Thanks again! I'm seeing the provisioning options around CA and CYOA. Wondering what the options are near Red Hook?
Would it be better for us to 1) get a cab at the airport 2) ask them to stop on the way at a grocery store
Does anyone deliver there? Same with alcohol? Again, preference is to not be carrying around beer cases and water bottles.
That car rental for a day thing is starting to look like a viable option but we hadn't really planned to hang around that long.

Wow, everyone, take a look at the newest info re Corona closures in the USVI. Best wishes. Total buzz kill.. That is a particularly unfair characterization of the changes the Governor has announced. Few of them will affect the sailing travelers for instance in any great way - no sitting at a bar or being on a beach after 4pm Sat/Sun. Certainly the Covid 19 test required after 7/15 from high infected states may present a problem in timing and availability but: ** total buzz kill ** seems a drastic comment from a forum moderator. also this post http://www.traveltalkonline.com/ubb...i-new-covid-restrictions.html#Post229641

Depends on where they are coming from. If coming from Florida or anywhere else on the high risk list, the test requirements can be a BIG deal..

Luckily PA is not on the state list for testing but honestly if that changes our whole crew is fine to be tested. As for bars after 4, that's not why we're coming. We expect all or most dinners on the boat and any non-boat dinners to be outdoors.
We're coming for the sunshine, sailing, snorkeling, paddleboarding and relaxing. If I have to wear a mask or have them swab my brain to do it I'm fine with that. Swab away.
