Tango Booked Whale Tail 6 hours ago Just booked Tango this morning for the 2 1/2 hour Heineken Regatta cruise on Sat March 7th at 9am. The website said it was selling out fast, which may or may not be true but we didn't want to miss out. We did it for the first time last year and it was a good time. The cost is $50 per person which includes drinks but at that time of the day I don't think I'll be emptying the cooler

Mary's Boon - Dog Missing - please help find Casper Teresasxm Yesterday at 09:02 PM If you have stayed at Mary's Boon or enjoyed a day on their beach, you've likely seen two black labs frolicking in the waves. One of the dogs, Casper, went missing Saturday night and they can't find him. There were reports of fireworks on the beach that night and it may have spooked him. If anyone is on the island now, please keep a look out for him. Also, if you could push the info and his picture out on your social media platforms it would really be appreciated.

There's more information on their Facebook page: Mary's Boon Beach Hotel, Restaurant and Bar.

First time bare boating, question on northern swells zlehmann Yesterday at 08:45 PM Hey all,

Been researching this trip for almost a year now, can't wait to get down there. I have read a lot on the dangers of northern swells and looking at the forecasts for next week it's looking like I'll be dealing with them quite a bit. I'm trying to get a better sense of when I'm at risk. Forecasts are predicting 1.1m swells from the north to northeast. That sounds pretty benign to me, although maybe less comfortable on the ball overnight.

Is there a particular height that should be setting off alarm bells?

Restaurant news AUCspouse Yesterday at 03:34 PM Two items of restaurant news: First, La Chingona, the tacqueria in Cupecoy, is planning to open a new branch in Cole Bay. They're taking over the Big Daddy's location (the burger joint) next to the Carrefour supermarket. The new branch restaurant has a sign up, but it isn't open yet.

Second: Bar Code in Cupecoy has been closed for the past two weeks. The rumor is that the restaurant has been sold, but I haven't confirmed that. Anyone know any more about Bar Code?

Some new places erb923 Yesterday at 12:35 PM The first new find was a “new” butcher shop in Hope Estates called Polo Le Boucher. It’s located down the road from One by K is towards the more industrial area. I think it is run by the daughter of the long time butcher shop in Concordia. We had pork tenderloin and some chicken, very good but they rely on the Air France planes to bring their fresh meats, so sometimes the supply is low.

Next was the once a month Sunday brunch at Le Sud which is part of Hotel La Plantation. It was quite nice and I think 68€ per person. Live music and the highlight was the food cooked on the brasero grill. They also had regular brunch options like sides and desserts.

The last is Momohana on the Dutch side across from the Colebay Carrefour in the new building development. French-Asian fusion I would call it, the gyoza was the only meh, sort of overcooked. Chilean sea-bass was pricey but extremely good, the bibimbap was nice as well. Good service and friendly staff.
