Staying in CGB for 5 nights at the end of May and want to plan a day on JVD. Have seen a water taxi service on CGB before but that was a long long time ago. Either that or it would be taxi, WE ferry, taxi, or renting a car for a couple of days as want to get to Smugglers cove as well on a different day. What do you think would be the most cost effective? do not mind paying a little more for convenience though. Have no idea anymore the taxi rate from CGB to WE and visa versa it is only me paying for taxi, no sharing option. Thanks!

But the ferry is the way to go for $$, and has a decent schedule. "Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small.

So I suggested to tangerine posing that question here to see if anyone working/living in CGB area had a current contact… Last edited by crmoores; 02/14/2023 09:37 AM. "Travel changes you.

Those were good times and days..
