Re: Why do I do this to myself...

We have also chosen to stay the 1st and last night on St Thomas, we find it to be so much less stressful both arriving and leaving, checking out of the villa and catching that ferry is a lot less depressing, and allows us extra time on STJ the day we leave, when not heading straight to the airport....

Should I cheat on STJ?

Hmmm will the Rock forgive me if we seek other destinations for Trip #13 with our spoiled kids? So...options include: 1. STJ but staying in Cruz Bay and not of Giff Hill for once. 2. Tortola at a villa on Cane Garden Bay 3. Spilt the 8 days between the USVI and BVI 4. Boat trip through the Islands 5...

Re: Why do I do this to myself...

I won't do that, too much work. We stay on St. Thomas if we have an early flight and get to the airport two hours early. St. Thomas is a very fine place to spend a night (or more). Cheers, RickG Agreed... We usually do day 1 and the last day at Emerald Beach on STT...followed by 7-8 days on Island(...

Re: Trip Report - Off-Off-Season Sailing Trip Report

Congrats on the new adventure!! Are you putting it up on land during the times you are not using it or putting her into rental?

I should sell our Boat in Michigan and get one down there. I figure we could use one or the other about 20 days a year...but pay for it 365 days. OUCH

Enjoy,
Dave
