In both my trips through the Grenadines, I never had any real problems with the boat boys. They are more aggressive than you are accustomed to in the BVI....that's for sure. I found that a "no thank's",and a cold beer worked perfect. Sure, I probably gave away 8-10 beers or so...over the week, it seemed like a good way to keep everybody happy...you're mileage may vary <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" />
