If you are returning to STT for an airport departure in the next few weeks --- go earlier than planned in case this glitch causes a backup.

This is very convenient to Frenchtown by foot and the airport and town ferry docking by short taxi ride. http://www.olgasfancy.com/ You might look at : http://www.islandviewstthomas.com/ Taxi distance airport and town - excellent food on site some days OR: http://www.thegreeniguana.com/ No food on s...

I learned the same hat wearing etiquette from my Grandfather who was never outside without his stylish and well worn fedora.
It was resting by his side in his casket and went with him to heaven I am sure.
He once told us St Peter wouldn't recognize him if he showed up at the Gate without it.

Please just take the baseball hats off if you are dining inside at any restaurant. Thanks

This is a spectacular and comprehensive new book on STJ underwater. Southside Coral reef National Monument. https://www.amazon.com/Virgin-Islands-Coral-National-Monument/dp/1495117103/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1479674928&sr=1-5 Snorkeling Guide by LLC Sarjim Enterprises Amazon is so...

I do understand there is a 'write in' option.
It would have to be an incredible effort and campaign to overcome having just one name on the ballot.

For those of you who are not familiar with our Legislature - 7 Senators from STT - 7 Senators from STX and 1 at Large Senator who must reside on STJ but the At large Senator is the ONLY candidate voted on by all residents of the USVI and is a very strong position.

I just came back from voting in our local election and was very disappointed to see that only 1 person on STJ was running for the very important Senator at Large - I am certainly not demeaning that individual at all -- but to think that only one resident of STJ cares enough to make an effort to repr...

I find the site:

www.weathercarib.com

which is locally produced to be excellent and comprehensive.

I generally find a visit to Salt Pond helps when I read his website. But the pics here do speak for themselves.

I know a lot of people here have come to run in the 8 Tuff Miles race in STJ.

There is a new 10K race organized for Dec. -- details here for those avid runners who enjoy STJ North Shore on foot.

I don't think you can find anything like the frozen drinks at Udder Delite on Magens Bay Road STT anywhere else in the whole VI !

Sailing in BVI waters is different than Stopping in BVI waters -- the 1st stop must be to clear C&I - for example sailing up Drakes Passage to circumnavigate STJ you will be in BVI waters along the way tacking upwind - you do not have to stop in West End and tell them you are doing that.

Effective yesterday all visitors by sea to the BVI must now present themselves In Person at Customs and Immigration. Since the same requirement is enforced in STJ on return this should be no big surprise - it will however cut way into your time on charter, especially on the bigger multi-passenger ve...
