Re: Pink Horses Villa

We stayed there when Omar blew through. It's a short drive up the hill from Coral Bay (Rt 107). Lily's Market, Aqua Bistro, and Skinny's are a 5 min drive down the hill. DO NOT try to access the villa from the top of Bordeaux, unless you have ulimited time and 4-wheel drive.

Re: Route to Skyflower on Bordeaux Mountain?

The steep, twisty road up from Coral Bay is paved, except for the last 1/4 mi of dirt and gravel as you near the top. Once back on the paved road at the top of Bordeaux it's still a long way out to Centerline. We recently stayed at Alta Vista at the end of Bordeaux road. Yes, you can drive from ther...

Re: Route to Skyflower on Bordeaux Mountain?

From the map it looks like the best route is up Castanza (Rt 108) from West Indies Rd (Rt 107). You can get there from Bordeaux Mt road, but it's a LONG way - not recommended.

Re: Official (!) Hurricane Sandy NJ thread -

capegazette.com has some pics of the shore and flooding in Rehoboth and Lewes. Storm is tracking towards Cape May. Be safe. Anyone within 20' elevation of Mean Low Tide? High tide and full moon about 9:30pm tonight.

Re: Tropical Storm Rafael with Images

6:10 am, looking at the East End and BVI's. The rain has stopped and there's not a puff of breeze. The lower clouds are moving south. The Wunderground radar image shows a large storm area and the center of the storm is located directly over STJ.

Random Maho Pix

Wind and occasional rain created Villa Gravity, but we rallied and rolled down to Maho. We headed to the point on the right and drifted back to the beach.

We'll be sitting below in the aft seats on the Sunday ferry to Red Hook. Looks like a rough crossing.

Re: Access to Ditleff??

Trail to the right leads down to a sandy beach. Sorkel left, and keep wide right of the reef. Lots to see. Or go straight across to the right side - for good swimmers only.
