Will be coming down for 1st time post-Irma. Depart The Moorings in AM on Friday June 15 - 23. From posts here it looks like I am in for a great trip. 2 couples with (4) 18-20 year old sons and daughters - high school graduation and sophomore Clemson Univ. celebration trip. From RT, to Norman, Cooper, Leverick, Anegada, Scrub, CGB, JVD, day stop at St John, back to RT. Can anyone help with a few planning matters:
Self-provisioning and looking for best grocery in RT for sandwich meats, cheeses, fresh produce - I'll be bringing tenderloin, meats, fish, chicken, etc. with me Best source for delivery to boat of beer, wine, soda, spirits and water? Is Kevin Campbell up and running for taxi from STT airport to ferry dock? Car rentals available at Leverick and Anegada now? Do most places on CGB, JVD, Norman, Cooper, Anegada, Marina Cay/Scrub/Trellis accept credit cards now? Is the approach to Anedgada well marked now? Foxy's Taboo open?
Thanks all and have enjoyed the recent posts and trip reports

Self-provisioning and looking for best grocery in RT for sandwich meats, cheeses, fresh produce - I'll be bringing tenderloin, meats, fish, chicken, etc. with me - We used Bobby's, everything was delivered as promised. Nothing missing Best source for delivery to boat of beer, wine, soda, spirits and water? Either Caribbean Cellars or Tico's, they are less expensive then Bobby's or Rite Way. They each carry different brands, so look at their website to decide which fits your preference. Is Kevin Campbell up and running for taxi from STT airport to ferry dock? Yes, his number is 340-643-0025 Car rentals available at Leverick and Anegada now? We rented from J&S on VG, set up by Leverick Bay. We used Dean on Anegada. Do most places on CGB, JVD, Norman, Cooper, Anegada, Marina Cay/Scrub/Trellis accept credit cards now? The only place we found that didn't take CC was JVD. That could be different by June. Is the approach to Anedgada well marked now? I don't remember, I'm not the captain, LOL Foxy's Taboo open? - No
Thanks all and have enjoyed the recent posts and trip reports
I answered each question above.

Anegada is never well marked..lol BVIpirate.com has a really good explanation on the approach. I suggest you have polarized glasses and enter at high noon.
Cruising the local waters here in SC and GA. Love the BVIs and miss the Tradewinds!

Have used bvipirate's chart and notes on approach, but wondering if much has changed since Irma - his chart I have is going on 7 or 8 years old now. Thanks Steve

We have 5 Tigers and 4 Gamecocks, wheels up from SC on the 22. Departing Moorings on the morning of the 23. Our float plan sounds a lot like yours. We hadn't planned on Nanny Cay-never been there. Trying Oil Nut for the first time to take the place of other destinations that are not up and ready yet. Planning on ending up at the Willy T. in its new location at Peter Island for the night before departure from Beef Island. rsherer - have a great trip. We may run into you at the Moorings base on morning of the 23rd. We fly out of Atlanta on the 14th, depart Moorings on the 15th and return late on 22nd for overnight on board at Moorings before we head back to SC on the 23rd. I'll try and catch up with you at the Moorings and give you a report.
