If you had some time to kill in Tortola and you wanted to stay close-ish to Hodges Creek Marina (MarineMax), what would you recommend doing? We arrive on Tortola quite a bit earlier than the rest of our group and have pretty much the whole day to adventure out and have some fun. I was thinking that taking a cab to Josiah's Bay for the day might be the ticket... I don't want to stray too far away in order to keep cab fares somewhat reasonable. Any input or other ideas?

Not in the "fun" category, but (assuming you are chartering and the company permits it) you could get a head start on boat checkout, provisioning, stowing gear, provisions, etc. Then, when the remainder of your party arrives you'll be ready "party".

Consider it may be time to "spend", rather than "kill"...?
Taxi to Fine Foods store, East End for approx. 11.30am. Armed with cooler, buy 2 cooked chickens, bread rolls, water/beers and ice from the store. Back into taxi to Long Bay Beach, Beef Island. Lay out towels, open beers and drink. Swim. Eat chicken and bread (with your fingers) al fresco. Swim again to wash off the grease. Drink more beer. Sleep. Taxi back to your marine-place-thingy. HEAVEN...believe me. Enjoy.
Woof woof!

LianeLeTendre said:Are you talking about Naomi's or somewhere else? Which beach? Interesting comment from the website linked above concerning Sebastain's. Since Davide did some kitchen staff training about a year ago, I wonder? Mal? There's a rumour in the wind that a popular chef has been hired for the 2016 season! If it's true ... I think dinner guests will be very pleased with this news!
