Cross between a tourist and a moron :0)

Turons, they wander the docks and ask stupid questions after departing
rent-a-boats and cruise ships.

I can do better right here Jon.

Crystal clear water, great fishing, diving, coral reefs, and fancy
resturants that over charge.

In the Keys we call them 'spores' - stupid people on rental equipment.

I haven't visited the Willi T since they replaced the old one with the one
current there.
We didn't stay on Jost for more than one night. The noseeums were out in
force.

Joey is jealous because he can't afford it. It was in fact not crowded at
all.


It never really is, except such places as Foxy's or Bomba's Shack during
full moon parties. Which is a good thing.

The only place where even the mooring balls came close to being filled
were Soper's Hole.


. . . which is typical. But West End is still worth the stop. The food
and drink is great, and it's fun to watch to locals play grab-ass after
sundown. Also a great market there with everything needed for
re-provisioning.

The rest of the places were wide open. Even the locals commented that it
was a combination of a poor US economy and a bad hurricane season.


Did you visit the Willie T?

On a scale of 1-5 for "touristy", I'd have to rate the BVI as a 2 at most.
It isn't a direct flight from the mainland US afaik, excepting possibly
Miami. It is a funkier version of the USVI with few of the attendant
problems, after all, it was never a part of the US. The first time we went
there we arrived late at night and extremely hungry, we went to a little
chicken shack in the center of Road Town and never felt unsafe, and that
chicken was good! You can really do what you want there, do the typical
tourist bit like Soper's Hole, or go to little backwaters like Trellis Bay.
You should really take the little lady there, she'll love it.
