Just giving you a hard time - <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" /> - but I still think it's important for everyone to be there for a boat briefing -- at any rate...to answer your question <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> -- the big Riteway at Pasea is like a grocery store in the states and will have everything you need. We generally have the heavy stuff and the things we don't really care about picking out ourselves (gallons of water, soda, booze, beer cases, juices, condiments, paper goods, etc.) delivered. We shop for all produce and meat ourselves at Riteway. Not sure what the status is of the one at Nanny Cay but Pasea has a very big selection. Some people use Caribbean Cellars for booze - we have done that too - to save a little $$$ -- we've had good and bad luck with timing from them.
The market in Spanish Town at Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbor I heard was closed? Not sure if that's true or not - shame if it is since that was a very good market too.
If you want to restock during the charter, the market at Leverick Bay is a pretty good place to do that. They have a great deli counter there and it's good place to grab more bacon, eggs, bread, snacks -- some meats as well - it's pretty decently stocked most of the time.
That's my two cents <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

socamon said: Stopped at Bobby's at Cane Garden Bay a day or two ago. Found it to be worse than I've ever seen it. Poor stock. Out of date items, etc. Will never stop there again. This is disappointing. We're staying in CGB 3 nights pre-charter and were hoping to walk to Bobby's for provisioning for our 3 nigths.

CottageGirl said: Thanks Jason! We were looking for breakfast items, snacks, liquor & drinks for the days. Was also hoping to pick up ingredients to make a few quiches to have on our boat during charter for easy breakfasts. Looks like we may have to stop somewhere on the taxi ride from the ferry to CGB. Already looking forward to dinners out at the Sugar Mill and maybe Bananakeet :-) Don't skip Bananakeet, it's fabulous. If you must choose, choose Bananakeet, Make a reservation for before sunset... You will not regret. Have the pork if you like pork. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />
