Agrimsrud, it is not the cost of the charter. We were just surprised this year when the cruising tax was so high. We have been going to the BVI's since 1995. We sometimes go 2-3 times a year. We had never seen an increase of such a large amount. I always read CaptainJay's remarks, and I think he gives excellent advice. My thoughts are to spend more time in the USVI this year and spend less money in the BVI. This would include provisioning on St. Thomas. Just my small way to protest the ways they are grabbing for money.
