my impression of sandbox - is if there is a cruise ship in port it is open when there is not it is closed.... about correct? everytime we have popped by in May and June it has been closed. I just went over there yesterday. They have done a beautiful job and they are open 7 days a week right now. Drinks only, however. Lucy, the woman who owns and operates the place, said they will be open for food starting "soon" but she would not give me a date. They have hired a chef and had a menu out (standard beach fair, burgers, chicken tenders, etc) but Lucy said that menu will be changing when the new chef arrives. When they do start serving food - I would guess this is about a month away - she said they are going to be doing both lunch and dinner which is new and exciting. Lunch will be from 12-3 and dinner somewhere around 6-8. As for moorings, they do not have any right now, but she said she was going to speak with MoorSecure about getting some installed.

Funny I was just checking the cruising guide about this this morning. The "post-Irma" guide mentions mooring balls but I didn't think they were there yet. Thanks for the info, we may anchor there next week.

College kids sometimes balk at certain tasks. I find high schoolers much easier to manage! Older people can be difficult also. After watching the shark slam into the back of my head my dive buddy refused to go on any dive where the word shark was mentioned. We had one of those rare opportunities to dive Santa Monica rock on a calm day and he saw a shark as we were picking up the mooring. Nothing was getting him off the boat! Teenagers would not have been a issue! G

Is there a ferry from Gun Creek or Leverick to go there? Rumor has it Gumption (who runs glass bottom boat tours and Necker Island tours) and whose Mom owns the Sandbox, is going to start transporting guests from GC/Leverick over there starting soon. I do not have a schedule as yet, but you can contact him on Facebook "Allington Gumption Creque" or at https://www.seaitcleartours.com/home if you are interested.
