Default BVI customs fees

Glen,
Thanks for the clarification. The web page I looked and also the cruising
guide weren't very clear on rules for private yachts. Guess they cater to
charter yachts. I don't plan to import any food, just the provisions we
have on the boat. So I will put BVI back on the list so we can go to
Sidney;s and Foxys.


Sidney's and Foxy's are just the beginning. The islands are heavily
bareboat oriented so there is a place to party or have a great meal almost
every where. You really need 3 or 4 weeks to cover everything in the BVI.
Soggy Dollar is a great afternoon watering hole (except on the weekends).
Corsair's down the beach from Foxy's serves great food. Quito's in Cane
Garden Bay Friday and Saturday nights are always a party. The C&F in Road
Town for the Caribbean's best BBQ ribs. Then you have to get to Anegada for
at least a couple of days. Neptune's Treasure serves a lobster omelet to
die for and the conch fritters at Big Bamboo are the best I have ever eaten.
If the first mate is on the verge of mutiny Brandywine Bay for a really fine
meal will get her back in line and if you are feeling really rambunctious
try the Willy T at least one night.

Provisions are a little higher than Ponce or Fajardo but much lower than
further down island. Road Town Wholesale is a good place to stock up before
heading for St. Martin and points south.
