We need to pick up a traveler mid-charter and want to be on Tortola. Thinking about Trellis Bay for ease of access, but haven't been there for several years. Any recommendations? De Loose Mongoose looks nicely rebuilt, what about the Last Resort or somewhere else?

Last Resort is no longer. Loose Mongoose, Jeremy's Kitchen, Marche or the market would work, Your biggest issue is likely to be dock space, which is very tricky now. A dinghy at LM should be okay.

We were just picked up at Loose Mongoose by a 26 footer....as RW suggests use your dinghy.

LM looks really good. There are closer docks from the airport then LM. It did take us about an hour to get through the airport as we came in right behind a Silver plane....you start in holding room where they check you papers and vacc cards and temperature. Then you go to the painfully slow C&I , then pay the $10 environmental tax, and then when you come out they want to check your vacc card again

Make sure you fill out the bottom back for your BVI immigration form under return information...

The same happened to us last month. Have a great time on JVD Rob!
