STT Departures - 3 hours? radelow Yesterday at 08:04 PM We are departing STT for Charlotte (then on to San Diego) on a Sunday morning in April. Does the 3 hour rule still apply? Is STT as big a mess as it has always been? We will be checking luggage but we have Pre-TSA and Global Entry.

Best Areas to Stay anniefromks Yesterday at 05:36 PM Hello all,
You have been great with replying suggestions for my daughter and I's upcoming trip. Thank you.

I received some comments about where we'll be lodging and it has me second guessing. I don't want specific listings, perse. I'm looking for general vicinities that would be recommended for us. And places to avoid. I will be using a short-term rental, not a hotel.

Side note: We're renting a car and traveling the whole island.

District 721 closed down Carol_Hill Yesterday at 01:31 PM link

What's most interesting about this story to me is that they actually closed the place down for late night music, I guess before they even figured out that they didn't have a valid license to operate.

Blind Creek ChuckG Yesterday at 10:15 AM Guessing this was one of the lost threads. Email from Treasure Coast Naturists updated status of the beach after Milton;

BEACH UPDATE, TUESDAY, 10/15/24

We are sorry to report that the gates to Blind Creek Beach are again locked as of today, Tuesday 10/15/24. Apparently, they were opened on Saturday without authorization. The park remains closed until such time that the County can declare that it is safe for public use. Once that authorization occurs, the County will unlock the gates. The County hopes to have this done by the end of the week, but no promises.

As of 2pm today, the Sheriff's Department was removing people from the beach who had parked on A1A and walked in.

The County asks that beachgoers do not open the gate or damage the chain lock. They will reopen the gates when they've determined that it is safe to do so.

Thank you to everyone who came out over the weekend and assisted with the massive cleanup! Those efforts should go a long way in getting the beach reopened sooner than later.

We will continue to communicate with the County, and let you know as soon as we have an update.

Throwback - 16 years ago Turf 10/16/2024 10:32 PM Shuffling through some old folders and came across these two pieces of paper. Fun to see how things have changed. Illustration of Orient Bay and an itinerary from 16 years ago.

To be honest, flight and room cost haven’t changed that much compared to what other costs have increased in the last 16 years.

Rideshare Active on STX-STT Soon to Follow Gerald_Hill 10/16/2024 08:47 PM Spoke to the developer of "VI Hail", a Rideshare App for USVI. The developer has drivers for STX and is working on getting drivers (only has a few currently) on STT. Apparently, the local Taxicab Commission is not happy about it. The developer decided to go forward with posting the App and get things started while legislation, that will allow Rideshare Serices in the USVI, is pending.

Below is an article from the local PBS station (WTJX) regarding the Rideshare App.

PBS WTJX

I have installed the app (it says that it is still under development). It is not much different than Lyft, but one difference that I have noticed, in its current form, it will not allow you to schedule a ride a head of time. I will be using the App next week and should have a better understand of how well it works then.

7 days sailing sxm jaybsin 10/16/2024 04:58 PM Sailing SXM in January looking for recommendations on itinerary.
Angulla is 208US per day I was told...is it worth it to go to little bay and the dogs?

Is Orient bay worth a stop, is it a good anchorage?

We go from Anse Marcel Sunday morning and have to be back at Grand Case Friday.

Recommendations Please! anniefromks 10/16/2024 01:11 PM Hi everyone,
My first (very long) post was deleted during the hack last night. I was able to read a few replies, but they were since deleted too.

Long story, short:
I'm looking for some of the bucket list type things for my 15 year old daughter and I to experience on our quick 4 day trip. We're staying on Rue de Coralita on the East side of the island. We're both very active and don't like sitting still too long.

Snippets of what were planning so far:
Renting a car
Creole Rock snorkel tour
Kayak to Pinel Island
Various sightseeing hikes
Sunset dinner at Calmos
Breakfast at L'Escale

I'd like to know what are the musts for our first time on the island so we can soak it all in. And what should we avoid?

Thanks in advance!
