If you've ever heard the Kenny Chesney song "Lindy", that's the beach Lindy went on his final stroll in November 2008. Yeah, that picture got me a couple of flashbacks. The window looks from the ferry terminal over towards C&I, opposite the dinghy dock.
We head down on September 6. We've got a Plan A/B/C for this trip.
Cheers, RickG

Twanger said: Great minds! Mine is only half as good... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> Exposed the window and over exposed the beach. Definitely the crying window <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Sad.gif" alt="" /> - the ferry is coming to take you away. Next trip scheduled 1st week of December. However... My sweetie is hinting a birthday/anniversary trip first week in October may be needed! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Joy.gif" alt="" />

Cleobeach, yes we bought a 2009 Beneteau Oceanis 40. I started looking for a place to buy on STJ in 1999, but the economics never made sense. The boat route ended up being 5% of a modest place on STJ. We have 8 weeks planned in 2015.

Cheers, RickG Very nice! I bet that is a lot of fun. I come from a family of sailors but married a not-a-sailor who loves being on a boat but not the work of sailing a boat.

99 days until 7 nights sailing the BVI's and then 2 nights on St John (with my birthday happening on one of the two nights)before flying home. Can't wait!
Love sailing the BVI's with friends.

Cheers, RickG RickG is so modest! He has a beautiful boat. It is also a racer, recently finishing 2nd in a local regatta. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> I hope you can somehow make it down and race in the Catfight too.

Looks like we are the same STJ trip schedule!
