near the moorings office, there is a small shop that rented pool noodles on our trip a couple years ago, they were $2ea. does anyone know if they're still there and the prices? I'd like to know if they're not renting noodles anymore so that we can rent them from someone else. Thanks.

One learns something every day! I would never think of renting noodles, but I guess if you're not checking bags, might not have space to bring from home..

Hey Carol,
Personally, I prefer the Pool Floats....
They are great for lounging on and off the boat.

Used the opportunity to do a MOB drill to recovered the float. Good idea to keep them tied down while underway!

I was just comparing it to the price you can buy them for. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" /> Such things are dirt cheap here in Florida, year round, but I guess they don't have too many for sale in the winter in Eastern PA! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Shop on the Sunsail dock rented at $4 wk, or buy for $5.00 for us summer of 2014. We brought em back. Did use them, and passed small line thru several and tied to the dingy trailing aft (while at rest of course!)
JPH I spent my money on booze, broads, and boats...the rest I wasted.

UPDATE -
BVI water toys carry them for $4 each with free delivery on orders over 75
Last Stop Sports charges $2.50 and is significantly cheaper than BVI water toys on all items and they offer free delivery to the Moorings and other charters - see their website for details.
I discovered that Last Stop Sports moved from the Moorings dock to Port Purcell.

we ordered 8 noodles from Last Stop Sports and 4 lazy bunz from BVI Water Sports with free delivery from both!!
sorry, we aren't able to take the noodles from the pool, they're frozen. Maybe by June it'll start to thaw!

WAAAAYYYYY better than noodles - THIS is the ultimate float: http://www.wayfair.com/Poolmaster-Water-...oWIaRoC8J_w_wcBSeriously, this float has 4 inflatable compartments that can be blown up with 2 or 3 breaths in each one. When deflated they weigh NOTHING and take up NO room, so they travel beautiful even in carry on. I never leave home without one if I'm going to be anywhere near water - and I'm known as the Imelda Marcos of water floats, so this is truly an endorsement.
It's not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.

We've got six of the Swimways spring loungers, but the noodles are more popular on our boat.
