Nice article about Carl Foster, the new owner of Tage, in the <a href="http://www.stjohntradewindsnews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=668&Itemid=38&PHPSESSID=b994d0b0e6ae584abfe6e37fe7b60a40">Tradewinds</a>. I just ran into Carl at Starfish Market last week. ...

This is always the slowest time of the year - end of summer, vacations, back to school, etc. I was actually thinking this place was very hopping. We are closing in on 400 registered users in a couple of weeks, so it isn't the lack of people. And the lurkers who just read (met several on St. John las...

Yes - I would think so.

We were up on the bridge (I think that is what you call it). It was strange because they let us wander around while the barge was moving, and the railings are definitely not child proof!

We actually came over today on the "Mister B" a brand new car barge - it is huge, and we heard that this was the maiden voyage. I will post some pictures when I can. We are at Villa Bougainvillea without any internet access for 2 nights (I finally gave up my dial up account last month, aft...
