Re: GoPro help - On island now
If you have the correct USB cable, you could recharge it directly via a wall-wart or PC.

Re: Verizon plan on island
We were on STJ two weeks ago, and we didn't have any problems with Verizon service. Didn't have to change to an International Plan. Had to change phone settings to allow roaming, but that's it. Surprisingly good voice quality. The one caveat was not using our phones on the North Shore beyond Caneel,...

Re: Key West
MJ: As a suggestion for some free entertainment (and there's plenty of that in KW), head down to Schooner Wharf around 4pm or so. A fishing boat backs up and the crew, filleting their catch for the day, toss the remains off the stern. Some big tarpon gather to partake in the feast, and a large bull ...

Re: Cruz Bay to Crown Bay Ferry
During our recent stay on STJ, we noticed a new ferry making frequent runs between the USVI & the BVI. It was not Native Son (white & green hull), Smith's (blue & white), Roadtown FF (Jamaican flag), nor the Mona Queen (grey & white). This one was same hull style as the NS Express, o...

Progress!
The construction of the pool's lower deck progressed quickly during the two weeks we stayed at Gallows. Here's a pic that I took Saturday morning, just before we departed for STT. https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4236/35379805682_765a1b36d7_b.jpg Ahkil says that the deck surface will be tile. It should...

Re: Gallows pool construction/destruction
Glad I was able to provide some helpful information to the group. Despite not having a pool here, we're having a wonderful time. Small amount of Saharan dust, water temps are very comfortable ..... .... and we enjoyed our first Crack Bar from NS Deli today at Solomon Beach. Its as good as folks have...

Using the catwalk is definitely out of the question.

Re: Gallows pool construction/destruction
Here's my attempt at posting a pic of the pool. Workers hauled away the concrete chunks this afternoon. At least the gazebo remains.

Re: Gallows pool construction/destruction
We’re staying in a harborside unit. We booked, knowing in advance that the pool was out of commission. Workers arrive early … around 7am. Outside of a pile of broken concrete, the old pool facility is gone. That includes the surrounding deck, and the deck facing Pillsbury Sound. Additionally (and wh...

Re: car barge advice
Arrived @ STT on Saturday. After getting our Jeep from Amalie, picked up some necessities at Plaza Extra. Then off to the car barge. After paying the PA fee, an attendant directed us to queue up in a line of cars (there were several lines.) We didn't have a ticket. Waited about 15 min. We started lo...

Re: Flying out of EWR?
BB:
Sorry, I mis-typed my earlier post. Corrected it.
The shuttle bus to EWR Term C departs from Term A. So you do not have to go through TSA screening in EWR.

Re: Flying out of EWR?
You should be OK with that connection. If your flight into EWR is via United Express, then you'll probably arrive in terminal A. There is a shuttle bus there that will take you over to terminal C (where your STT flight's gate will be), so NO NEED!!! to go through TSA again. If you arrive in Terminal...

Re: Villa is booked: Allesandra
MCM: Five of us stayed at Allesandra this past June. Some brief notes ….. Great views to the southwest (If skies are clear, can easily see STX and Vieques ... and the Southern Cross.) Quiet area. Needed to use A/C when we were there, since house isn't quite exposed to the tradewinds. Well-equipped, ...

Re: Latest Car Barge News
Thanks for all the replies. I typically do rent on STJ. However, because this was a last minute trip that needed 3 four door jeeps, I couldnt find anyone on STJ that had that many. Man, this sounds bad. I wonder what happens since I rented three jeeps and then if I cant get them to my destination. ...
