Passports

Post by KenJ »

What do you do with your passports when you go to the BVI's and want to go snorkeling? I don't think leaving them on some beach unattended would be very smart.
Thanks in advance..

Good question. I handn't thought about that and will be going for the first time this trip. I can't wait to hear the responses.

I keep them in my knapsack if I don't have a vehicle. If someone on White Bay tried to snoop in your knapsack Gertrude would likely chase them with a broom. On Cane Garden Bay or Smugglers Cove, I'd keep a closer lookout.

If you are on a day-trip the Captain will likely collect your passports when you get on the boat.

KenJ - If you are going on a day sail they will keep them locked up on the boat. If not check out otterbox.com for a nice waterproof box you can take with you.

We got an otter box that's big enough to hold our passports, keys and my husband's glasses.

I'm thinking of taking the ferry over to Virgin Gorda. Not very fancy, but it's only $50 per person round trip. Does anyone know if the Bath's has lockers or anything like that?

KenJ,

I do believe that there are coin operated lockers at the Bath. There are also restrooms with showers.

Top of the Baths restaurant has a pool! Also, next door Mad Dogs has great pina coladas and west indian ambience. I prefer taking the ferry to The Baths over a charter so that I can hang out at these places after a hike and snorkel.

RickG,

Mad Dogs is our favourite hangout late afternoon, when we are in Virgin Gorda. We always stay at Guavaberry, within easy walking distance to Mad Dogs. They have the best Pina Coladas.

Husband just irons some of his clothes, and found his Mad Dogs t-shirt and commented "yes, now we are going to visit Mad Dogs again"! :)

This year, we will go to Virgin Gorda, after one week in STJ (arriving STJ next Sunday).

I once fell asleep on the porch of Mad Dogs and nearly missed the last ferry to Tortola! It is a relaxing spot.
