Now that Anthony has requested that political "debate" cease, some folks may feel a bit lost. I've located a couple of anti-Obama sites that people may want to have a look at. The second one actually has a sizeable list of other websites where some people may feel more comfortable or welco...

We've gone out with Phil and had a great experience. He's an interesting, knowledgeable guy with a deep love of the Caribbean. He's not a good fit for everyone, though. I think he's ideal for someone who primarily wants to snorkel and deepen their understanding of the Caribbean ecosystem. He's also ...

Re: Things Change...then change again--& again

On our first trip, what is now Morgan's Mango was a place called World Headquarters. It was more bar than restaurant and had bands. I have pleasant, hazy memories of drifting back and forth between Fred's and World Headquarters, maybe stopping by Mooie's on the way. The original version of Inner Vis...

Things Change...then change again--& again

I was reading that one blog that asked if anyone remembered Duffy's Love Shack. I remember the Backyard. Doug and Mo used to work there. I also remember Redbeards in Coral Bay, which Doug and Mo eventually bought and turned into Skinnylegs. Then Doug died, and Mo eventually sold it. I remember being...

Re: Say No To Captive Dolphins In The USVI

Clever idea, Connie. Instead of spending time online trying to find out what Coral World is or is not doing, call Coral World and ask them directly! They'd know. It is unclear just who has generated this petition, but it is quite clear that Coral World is the best source of info regarding their own ...

Re: Anthony - HELP

I see a mistake I made. I clicked the little triangle symbol in the bottom right hand, which jumps the thread to the top. Wrong little triangle. Now that I've located the Report a Post symbol, I "reported" the post about the villa near Maho. That's a perfectly fine post. I used it just to ...

Re: Anthony - HELP

Hi Anthony
I clicked on the "report a post" symbol on your post. Clicked twice before logging in and once while logged in. The post "jumped" but other than that I don't know if anything happened.

I'll try it on a post that isn't yours.

hugo Help me out with a memory check. I have a memory of quite good snorkeling in Mary's Creek on our first trip to STJ (which would have been the mid-80s). Could the area have changed or am I mixing up memories? I've been back and it's as you describe it, but I have a different memory from that fir...

It's common sense to get out of the way. If I see a child (my child or somebody else's child) in a potentially dangerous situation, the most human response is to intervene to insure their safety. This is crisis intervention, details get sorted our later. Blame gets assigned, lawyers appear. Good Sam...
