I've been getting free sailing magazines for years.
This year Yachting Magazine, sent me one enjoyable
issue, the Oct 2005 Boat Show Issue. Lots of boat
pictures including some gorgeous sailing yachts.

In it there was an article written about the ten best Bar's
in the BVI, and it was obvious the writer didn't sound like \
she had been to any or all of these places

To rectify this great wrong, I think we should spread
the straight word about these above water dives before the
season gets fully underway.

The article talks at great length about The Willie T. Thornton,
as a great drinking bar, while I found that while at Norman
Island, it was better eat there and hit Billy Bones whose
famous rum drinks guaranteed a good time. I like any place
with a hammock, so Billy Bones is high on my list of places
that I like in the islands, while the "Willie T" I would skip as
the food was just OK.

Speaking of hammocks, another favorite of mine is the Soggy
Dollar, which I prefer over Foxy's. You have to know where
the reefs are, and have a reasonable draft to anchor in close.
The harbor "range" is gone but there are two red floats marking
the entrance. I particularly like the ring game, where a nail is
placed in a tree and a piece of string with a ring on the end is
swung to try and hook the ring on the nail--straight on doesn't
do it, you have to arc it in.

One place the author mentions is a bar that's not on the water.
On the East End of St John is Skinny Legs. Anyone care to
comment on it? Since it is hard to get to, I would not have put
it on the list, unless I included GPS coordinates.

I'd like what I read about Heidi's on Honeymoon Beach on St
Thomas's Water Island. If I was anchoring out near Charlotte
Amalie, I'd make a point of going there by dink. Usually, I high
tail it away from St Thomas as fast as I can.

What is your favorite island bar?
