Hi Everyone! We'll be bareboating the first week of May. Putting together the provisioning order and wondering if we can order delivery from any of the restaurants while we are in quarantine or should plan to prepare all meals aboard the boat those nights? Thank you!

Going first week in May as well. From what I'm hearing several restaurants are delivering to boats in Q. Pirate's Bight for one. They'll also sell you ice and pick up trash. Our plan is to provision for five nights just in case there's a delay with the day four results and order from restaurants if necessary.

These are my notes for Norman:
Call Pirates Bight on 284 443 1305 or VHF 16 and order a takeaway meal and cocktails.
They also deliver ice. MUST call ahead and give ample notice
At present they are open Thursdays, 11.30am – 5pm, and Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays 11.00am – 8pm.

I've got some emails out to other venues and will keep you apprised accordingly.

Thanks for the info! We went with 4-5 nights of dinners and order take out for the sleep aboard. So if all goes well we'll be out of dinner food by the time the restaurants open and we are cleared to go ashore! I've never planned a trip with so many unknowns before.
