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?

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.

Hmm, that was quite a while ago. The new one is slightly bigger, has the
same primitive head facilities, and gets just as crazy around 11pm.

I'll have to remember that about January. We've never been there earlier
than April. No bugs of any kind then. I'm surprised they don't go for all
the goats and leave the sailors alone.

The old one was unique in that they had to keep the pumps running 24/7 or
the damn thing would sink. Did you watch the bellybutton shots? Are they
still doing that? I heard that women who take off their tops get a free
t-shirt.

IMHO it's a function of weather rather than season. There were several
days of little or no wind, very unusual in any season.

OTOH there were no bugs in our cottage, halfway up the hill on the
(usually) windward side.

Another way the BVI is changing... no chickens running around the airport...
