So if you are on a yacht, you must go back to Nanny Cay?
yes, that is the current protocol.

Going back to Nanny Cay is not at all what was advertised. When you get "picked up" on Jost .. .where do they take you exactly? This is crazy to only have half the plan, right?

On Anegada you get on a boat to VG but that is how it's described on the govt. page. On JVD, it doesn't say you're transported to Tortola so I assume there's a testing location there. There is a clinic on JVD so it's likely there or at the Albert H. Chinnery Administration Building

YMMV, but the Nanny Cay stop was very efficient and worked well, though we did have to plan for it. The useless counterproductive return test at Road Town was much more unpleasant, and could easily turn into an all day affair depending on how many people there are. We had 10 and it took quite a while. Taxi driver said there had been 300.

We were (are) required to submit another covid test to transit through the STT airport. This is not covered by the $175 BVI fee, but requires a separate $70 fee, a trip to Peebles hospital, and it remains to be seen how we will get the results and upload them to the USVI portal since they are apparently not set up to email results.
I'm a little irritated at this one, because making us dock at RT, taxi to Pebbles and mingle with the other unfortunates there when we have just undergone a battery of 3 tests to clear quarantine accomplishes nothing but inconvenience and increased risk of infection for all involved.

When returning home, many people need another test. That is only done at the hospital. You're right, a number of testing sites were promised, and it should be possible to go to any of them. For example, why not be able to do the follow-up test at the airport. Over promise and under deliver.
