Bracelets and tracking things don't appear to work. Still trying to figure that part out.
Email me if you would like a copy of the approved Q'ing anchorages. Just issued in the last hour. We still have not been approved to leave base....pending test results.

Don't appear to work as in the Government doesn't have them at all or they're just not functional?

I don't own a cell phone - wonder if that is a problem? The government has in the past stated that a smartphone was a requirement but the reports I'm seeing on facebook indicate they aren't actually installing an app on people's phones they are just giving the tracking bracelet. The bracelets so far have not required a phone; they contain their own sim card. I would try to email the SteerCo and ask that question.

brewerfg - (Regarding north swell safe anchorages on the list) only the North Sound anchorage at Malone Bay and Manchioneel Bay are safe from the swell.

We were finally released to leave the marina around 4:00pm yesterday. Sailed to Whites Bay on Peter is and anchored with 3 other boats. Great excitement at the marina as we were leaving....being the first boats out since the CV19 lockdown. I'm so glad we stuck this out. Many times over the last couple months we almost cancelled the trip.
Side note: The silly-[censored] tracking devices do not seem to work. They beep constantly. Finally just turned them off. Fingers crossed this doesn't become an issue for us.
We were instructed to return to a testing site on Day 5 (Sunday) for the 2nd PCR test.
Husker Abby Normal To Peter Island, BVI Thanks for the great updates...

Husker Abby Normal To Peter Island, BVI Based on the approved anchorages, it doesn't seem like any are close to testing sites. Where did they tell you to go? Why aren't they doing your test on Day 4? Now you won't be released until Day 6.

BTW, are you the Jason from Coconut Breezes? Yep. Owner/manager at Coconut Breeze Villas. We are listed as a sponsor here as Agape Cottages (the old name) but will be updating our banner soon to reflect Coconut Breeze Villas.
