Sounds like you are calling the main line. Do you have your representative's name that did your reservation? I always call and ask for him and get him right away or a call back that day. In all the years this has worked and even now with our current reservation this has worked.

"no one in the world could convince me that their breakfast is better than Reveil"
Couldn't agree with you more. Reveil Matin's breakfast is in a league of their own. Hands down.

I would highly recommend you give it a try. I would not go on a Saturday unless you really like Greek food as their Saturday menu selection centers around it.

Yes. The pictures I saw just posted on various SXM Facebook sites by a frequent visitor and poster showed just a few on the boat. I don't mind a full boat as I like to see and talk to others.

Jeanne--you are certainly dealing with the a/c situation better than I would. I would have checked out.

Sounds like you are having a wonderful time. I probably asked this before, but do you have any pictures you can post?

lcote--no one in the world could convince me that their breakfast is better than Reveil. Their combination of different breakfasts and their impressive fruits blow me away. I think you are partial to eggs benedict? I could really take or leave that.

JD--interesting how locals are often unfamiliar with places on island.

Yes.

JD--was that the first time Junior had been there?

I took Junior there a couple of years ago and he said his fish pot meal was the best he had ever had. He then went back with his wife.

George C1 is much more in tune with what’s happening in the BVI than me, but the word in parts of the local liveaboard-cruising community is that petty theft as well as dinghy and outboard theft has risen noticeably in the BVI over the last several months. I have heard several lively discussions about it recently. At least two cruisers gave accounts of thefts they were personally aware of. Whether accurate or not that’s an opinion working its way around segments of the local cruising community. Additionally, an operations manager at one of the biggest charter companies (not TMM where my boat was previously in charter) told me they were experiencing a definite uptick in dinghy thefts. He did not mention JVD as a “hotspot”. Nonetheless, I think it’s more than poorly tied dinghies or tidal theft.

In over 3 years we have never left our dinghy in the water overnight. It is always “lift and lock”. I know it’s easier on a catamaran. We have 20ft. of 8mm SS chain that runs through our outboard, gas tank, and a forward eye with 2 heavy duty locks. If someone really wanted to steal our dinghy at the dock they could undoubtedly do it; however, we hope our dinghy is one of the least inviting potential victims on the dock. Charterers are much more vulnerable because they are usually relying on a cable lock of some type that the average 10-year old could defeat. Just locking a dinghy, regardless of its pregnability, is at least a minor deterrent because most dinghies I see are not locked up at all.

Always our first nights dinner.

Patricia and Nigel are both there..but I say avoid Nigel and enjoy a great time with Patricia and her family.They have a porta "loo" behind their place.That Jeep "Safari" just doodles along and drives slooowly and stops along the north shore. Good food and vibes at Patricia's but watch for the burger stealing chickens! ( Right Laura??)
