Since our first night on the boat we will either be in West End or Nanny Cay awaiting the arrival of our friends on the last ferry from St. Thomas we were thinking about taking a cab over to Cane Garden Bay to visit the beach bars there. I'm assuming it is easier and a shorter distance to get a cab from Nanny Cay rather than West End. Has anyone done this and know approximate time it takes and cost? We would probably do this once our friends arrive.

$26 for 2 one way from Nanny Cay $30 for 2 one way from West End. Cheaper to rent a car.

Also worth printing these just in case the driver "forgets".

Wow! Doesn't seem worth it to pay $80 to go to Cane Garden and back. Anyone know of a bus or something else that would be cheaper? Don't want to rent a car because we will be drinking.

Why not take the boat to CGB and wait for the crew there. They could taxi over, then it is just a one way taxi fare.

We took the boat to CGB last year and picked up the rest of our crew at Myettes. It was very easy. Planning on doing the same with our sail this April.


Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - beer in hand - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO, What a Ride!"

I agree -- grab a ball at Sopers Hole, meet your friends there and stay for the night, then do an overnight at CGB if you are set on doing up the beach bars.
