Somewhere In The Sun lyrics Stuck here at a Holiday Inn near Austin, Texas Seen all the road that I want to see God I hate the snow, they even cancelled the show Makes me long for where I really want to be Oh I wish I was there tonight on Jost Van Dyke Sipping on some Foxy'...

If you want to do the beach thing then rent a private power boat, with or without a captain depending on your experience and island hop. If you want to sight see then get a Jeep on Tortola and drive the island as Rick said.

And in case you all thought I was kidding here is the video proof . This is from Feb 2005 trip. Thats my buddy bill on the cover shot and he is a little past the 4 0 but he is Irish so its ok. Click on the utube link if you want to laugh. Waring these are seasoned professional with years of experien...

Since the booze thread is so much fun and tax day is over with what is your favorite watering hole and drink in the islands.

I would have to say mine is The Soggy Dollar and a nice cold caribe or painkiller although I do prefer Cuzan over Pusser's pain killers.

My name is Jay and I am a drinker. I am so sorry that you are sad for me. I own and run a small company and my wife is an IT manager. We both work hard and play hard it just comes with the territory. That said I haven't seen a huge number of drinking related threads started here. I can say if you ha...

Chrisn, We used Nauti Nymph in Feb and the boats were fine. They were a few years old but had new engines on them. We rented two 29 foot twin engine fountains for a trip to Jost. (16 of us). I checked out the boats at Ocean Runner and they looked fine as well. It was just easier with Nauti Nymph for...

You also might want to consider buying a shorty wet suite instead of a snorkle vest. Wet suits add some buoyancy they won't take the place of a life vest but if you are already a good swimmer then the extra bouyancy will give you some added comfort in the water. I would think a 3mil shorty suit woul...

we just returned from the a stay at the Westin a few weeks ago. This will fly in the face of what a lot a people think about St John but if I had it to do over again I would not have rented a car for the week. We rented a Jeep Liberty from Conrad Sutton in Cruz Bay. They were great to deal with and ...

Foxy had surgery on his throat/vocal cords and hasn't been able to sing. Some of the earlier information that I had seen said he could barely talk. When we saw he was speaking well but not as loud or colorful as normal. Hope he recovers fully.

We stayed on the boat. Its a three cabin catalina and was fine for an overnight. They charged us $475 per couple. You couldn't rent a boat for two days for that let alone the food and drinks aboard. I just posted a trip report with more details. We had two couples on board plus Larry and Betty. Ther...

How many people are ther in your group? We just came back a few weeks ago and chartered a daysail boat to do an overnight on Jost prior to going to St John this handled the boat and the one night accomodations on Jost. We sailed with Larry and Betty onboard Forever Young. http://www.interlinesail.co...

Jorge,
Nitro is about 15 Miles west of Charleston. My dive log says 45 Feet was the max depth that we dove. Which matches what I found on line at http://www.scubamom.com/bvi-diving/divesite/
Hope this helps.

We dove there last Feb. I had snorkled the sight several years prior. When I wasn't certified to dive. It is a nice dive and not difficult for a first time diver. My only addition would be that the day we dove it the current was running pretty strong and we swam up current first then down current to...

This map has a pull down menu. If you go to the POI points of interest it has a list of major areas and businesses on the islands.
