You may want to check with the Westin again, since there are two last boats going out of Red Hook today, there might be room available from staff that went back to STT.

Just a thought.

This graphic was put together by a BVI villa owner using latest data giving a best guess on how close Omar may come and what kind of sustained winds may hit. Latest projection takes it dead center over Virgin Gorda and the potential wind swath has broadened from just a few hours ago.

Yikes.

We just heard our neighbors have been moved to Gallows. Don't know if that's a possibility for anyone, but wanted to pass it along.

Apparently, this is their third move this week. They're traveling with three teenage girls. Lord only knows how much stuff they must be hauling around the island. :twisted:
