The BVI
 
Looks like a crowded tourist trap full of weekend warriors. A regular
amusement park.

Joe


JG January 31st 05 09:07 PM

Joey is jealous because he can't afford it. It was in fact not crowded at
all. The only place where even the mooring balls came close to being filled
were Soper's Hole. 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.

Jeeeze every picture you posted look like a busy seaport full of
weekend warriors on rent-a-boats.

And that was the slack season?

Who needs expensive meals? Ill go to Belize ect where I can eat all the
lobster I want for free, and rum is dirt cheap.
Who wants to be in a pack or turons?

Yes, what does that have to do with choice of sailing destinations? Why
sail in a pack of turons when you can do better?

It is shoulder season. Obviously, you're incapable of clicking on links, but
that doesn't surprise me. I've been to Belize, which is nice, but it was BVI
this year. Why do you have a problem with that?

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?

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.

Crystal clear water, great fishing, diving, coral reefs, and fancy

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.

You can do the full tourist bit at places like Soper's Hole, which is the
ferry terminus from the USVI on the west end of Tortola, or you can go to a
place like Little Harbor on Jost Van Dyke, if you eat at Abe's you have to
make reservations, not because it's hard to get a table but because they
only prepare the meals on request. Fresh lobster from Little Harbor.

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.

Max



JG February 1st 05 05:48 AM

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.

We know what kind of restaurants you go to. They have hanging plants
all over, and they serve drinks in tall colored glasses. And the
waiters wear shirts with no sleeves, unbuttoned most of the way.

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.

... I'm surprised they don't go for all

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