You shouldn't have any problems since you're already familiar with operating a small boat. They have lines, fenders, anchors, life jackets, etc. on the boat. Go for it :-)

Best Western Emerald Beach and Island Beachcomber on Lindbergh Bay. They are not cottages but are right on the beach. Secret Harbor and Sapphire are also on the beach.

Some things I always tell people to do while in STT: Paradise Point - Tuesday and Wednesday nights, live music, bushwackers and sunset Magens Bay with a stop at Udder Delight - make sure not to go on a large cruise ship day, check the listing Frenchtown for dinner - lots of restaurants to choose fro...

I guess it depends on what you want to do for your last night in STT. If you want to go to the beach, then definitely BW Emerald Beach or maybe Island Beachcomber. Lindbergh beach is very nice, and both have beach bars to enjoy an adult beverage. The only downside is that since they are right next t...

Hook Line Sinker is our favorite for Seafood. They will be closed Thurs-Sun of Carnival. Pie Whole will also be closed that weekend, probably Fri-Sun. Frenchtown is just so crazy during that time, no parking, so they just find it easier to close and let employees enjoy Carnival :-)

I agree, that if you are planning to shop downtown, then go over to Frenchtown and pick any one of the great restaurants in that area. Here are a few: http://www.hooklineandsinkervi.com/ http://www.oceana.vi/ http://www.craigandsallys.com/ If you are staying in the Red Hook area to shop, then I sugg...

what dates will you be on STT? The two big parades are May 6 and 7. But something is going on pretty much every night starting April 23. I'll have to meet up with you guys for some of the events :-)

Here is the website for activities:

Buck Island

We took a trip out to Buck Island off of St. Croix yesterday. It was sooo beautiful. The beach, the water color, the snorkeling. If you are on St. Croix, you have to take a day trip to Buck Island. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5059/5500731170_8de34e497b.jpg IMG_2803 by captainjay , on Flickr http:...

I like the idea of a filter vs separate forums. You could put check boxes on the posting page and the user could check which island(s) the post is about. Then you could have a drop list at the top of the forum where you could choose a specific island if you were looking for just STT or STX, but have...
