Is it possible that in the first photo the tail is tipped either towards or away from you, and you do not see the edge with the center notch because of the angle? It seems unlikely that you spent as much time as you did with two of them there but only ever saw one at a time. Either way, you had one ...

Re: Back to the Rock in November....and I have Questions :)

The ferry schedule page Ed S linked to said ferries were on hold until Customs got up and running in Cruz bay/Red Hook area. Customs opened in Red Hook last weekend, so hopefully ferry service to VG will soon be resumed. https://www.stjohntradewinds.com/u-s-customs-begins-operation-at-terminal-in-re...

Re: Any fix for frozen zippers?

Try a vinegar & baking soda or CLR soak followed by toothbrush scrubbing. Also silicone spray rather than WD-40. Lubricate with beeswax or candle wax.

Re: Post-Irma news

I have read reports on a facebook page of people trying to locate loved ones that 95% of the boats that were in Hurricane Hole are either submerged or on the hillsides, Those in the associated creeks were no better off. I know nothing at all about sailing, but have been told that Hurricane Hole is s...

Re: Golf carts?

We used it. There were three of us, the guy validated our parking even though it was only $15, not $20 - but then we paid another $15 to ride back. On a hot day with a bad knee, it was worth it.

Re: FORK IN THE ROAD

Coming down Gifft Hill Road from Centerline, when you see Gifft Hill School on the left, look for the Fork on the right. Drove past it daily for the past 2 weeks. It is currently wrapped in white lights.

Re: Ticker check!

Still putting details together on my third visit in 15 years. Have yet to pull the trigger on airfare home, and my sister is still not able to commit to joining us, but I have faith it will all fall into place soon.

Re: Long Trip Report October 11-20, 2016

Hey, you never know. We wandered into a Greek restaurant in the Bahamas that had a Steeler's sign mounted on the wall above one of the outdoor tables. We were wearing our Steeler's T-shirts so we decided to sit at that table. The owner, it turns out, was an enormous Steeler's fan. He spotted us, com...

Just saw an ad on TV for Inogen portable oxygen concentrator and thought of this post. The brand was Inogen.
