I don't know what his cost structure is but how do you go bankrupt selling overpriced drinks, sandwiches & BBQ in a thatch hut on the beach? I totally agree. I can only imagine the money he made pre Irma/Maria easily got him through the down time. I find this hard to believe and sincerely hope it is not true.

I saw him Saturday and spoke to him and he didn't mention anything...he did lose his marijuana field behinds Foxys so maybe that dented profits...they didnt seem to be serving but we thought they hadnt opened up yet and it was just a hit and run visit for some people who went there on their honeymoon 30 years ago IMHO it has continued to go down hill for years...and your reputation can only take you so far. I am hoping Corsairs can fill the gap or Great Harbour wont be the stop it used to be especially with White Bay coming back stronger than before link to OP? https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attract...ost_Van_Dyke_British_Virgin_Islands.html

Ok.. they say bad news travels faster than good news... but it also leads to rumors. For the comment about Fox 'losing his marijuana fields" you may refer to this https://bvinews.com/police-discover-over-20-marijuana-plants-at-foxys/When it says plants, we're talking numerous seedlings in pots. There were no marijuana fields behind foxy's generating profit for Foxy's. Foxy's makes its money through legal drug sales (alcohol), food and merchandise. I am sure the rumors will fly on this one, but I'd suggest waiting on an official release from Foxy's.

Wow, I thought Pusser's pulling out of Marina Cay was bad. Like you guys I can't wrap my head around the shear #'s of people who flock there daily, the big events etc like Old Year's Night that draw so many. How the heck to you get that under water with debt? Hope it's not true.

last try....for some reason it is omitting the middle part, maybe we can fix that with this....maybe not. I'm not too clever with the computer.
so this gets inserted after Attract making that word Attraction and obviously ends with the J for Jost

sorry. I couldn't get the link to work before. Now it's working okay. Must be me. The middle is removed just to shorten the text..

Anyone else read the Facebook post?
It reads that Foxy adopted a 50+ year old man (David Deitrich) and signed over the land to him. Am I missing something? This sounds too bizarre. David that is one of his boat captains?

That is what I thought when I read it. Seems we met him a few years back while trying to coordinate a snorkel trip with him while staying on Jost. This is all truly bizarre if what Dean says is true.
