They are probably placating nervous customers with what was originally stated - the 9/1 opening date has been talked about for a while now. I just got back from a USVI sailing trip yesterday - locals are predicting there is NO way we will be allowed back that early. Charter companies aren’t going to let you change without fees until 9/1 comes and goes and we are still not in. This is going to be a long hard road I’m afraid...not trying to be a Debbie Downer....we have 2 1/2 weeks planned with BVIYC in November - one scheduled for then and one moved from May until then. I have a bad feeling neither will happen.
