For provisioning, Food Center is across the street from Independent Boat Yard on Red Hook Road. It is a full service grocery store. Moe's in Red Hook is more of a gourmet store and had a provisioning service - moesvi.com. You'll get better prices at Cost U Less and Plaza Extra in Tutu Park.
We usually just hit Food Center and that's where we are provisioning on Friday.

sail2wind said: isn't Fairwinds a timeshare type of charter? Are you put together with strangers? I believe the timeshare sailing charter is "Tradewinds"

We've done two charters with Island Yachts and used Food Center (whatever it was before it changed hands). My wife was very happy with the selection and quality and she's pretty picky.
ThreeLittleBirds, that's an interesting story and thanks for posting it. Several outfits have "their rules" and that's fine with me as long as they let you know up front. My opinion is they should have told you within the first week or two of booking. Glad it worked out for you on such short notice.
Life involves risks, take some prudent ones (NOT with the BVI ferries)!

beer: Food Center has always been Food Center. Moe's is in the space that used to be Marina Market, but has been completely redone and has a new owner. Food Center has had to improve their product with all the competition they have around and is now pretty good for all-around shopping. I still go to Fruit Bowl for produce. Moe's has lousy parking.
P.S. oilwrench: Point Pleasant is a nice condo development on very hilly terrain. They currently have one restaurant open, called Panga's, I think. That section overlooks the new Margaritaville project, so report back on how it looks. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" /> Will you have a car?
