A sailing buddy in Wichita bought a CSY 44 in Tortola in 1977. We first joined him in 1978 and for many years thereafter. In 1978, the San Juan Airport was basically open air and always birds inside. There was a complimentary pina colada bar inside. We first took Air BVI DC3s to Eis. Later because of low fares took the Bomba Charger from STT to Roadtown. Later we used Native Son - complimentary rum punches on the trip - took 3 guys to serve, one each for the rum, punch, and swizzle sticks. We often took a dinghy from the CSY docks in Baughers Bay to UpstairsDownstairs (now Village Cay restaurant) for dinner. For years an old rusty big shipwreck was anchored in the middle of the harbor. Only thing in Cane Garden Bay was Stanleys Welcome Bar. Sydneys in Little Harbor JVD always had a pig roast on Monday nights. The Bath and Turtle always had a jump up on Wednesdays. We always went to hear Tony Snell at the Last Resort on Bellamy Cay. We always took a dinghy into the Baths and walked from the Yacht Harbor to the Olde Yard Inn for dinner. The Bitter End was about the only thing in North Sound - I don't think the Pirate's Pub was open yet but I think Bert et ux. lived there. There have been a few changes since 1978.
