On a land based trip right now and I have never seen St John so busy in August..... Very happy for the business owners who lost part of their high season this year See most every business enforcing mask rule and lots of folks even wearing while walking in town. I guess I should have known it would busy since the VI is about the only game in town for US citizens right now.
Glad I came as the beaches and sun are heaven on earth, think I will be staying put upon arrival home until I know I have not brought anything home with me.
Since I am home bound work for the foreseeable future this should work.
If you are down be sure to book a sailing trip with Kekoa, their story is fascinating and they are family owned and operated!

Also experienced Inter island ferry service from crown bay marina to St. John, it was really nice to be so close and avoid the longer taxi ride to red hook. Cost was 20 for ferry and 10 for taxi. Few dollars more overall but I like being the noZt linger than being in the taxi!

Yep, it is the easiest place to visit in the Caribbean. The other options with a negative COVID test are Antigua, Barbados, DR, Dominica (newly), St. Lucia (must stay on property), St. Vincent (24-hour quarantine); this is changing every day. We are in Grenada for hurricane season where we had to go through a two week quarantine on our boat and pass a serum test. https://www.noonsite.com/news/novel...-introduced-in-ports-of-entry-worldwide/Cheers, RickG

Check out the Governor's press conference from Monday 8/10. Most cases are transmitted by close associates rather than travel or community transmission. Instead of lockdown, the Governor has chosen to increase enforcement and add fines. https://www.facebook.com/GovernmentHouseUSVI+35 8/13/20 Cheers, RickG
