Re: Wondering why no solar?

We own Villa Tesori. Have just under 20kw of panels. 72 panels. Our location made us lucky in terms of storm damage. Lost 2 panels. No batteries, but the net metering is helpful. our monthly electric bills went from 1200-5000 to zero to 1200 per month. Ours is a ground mount system below the house w...

Videos and Pics from last week

A few VIOL friends asked for pics asap, so here you go. We were down last week. Putting up a bunch of pics and videos over the next few days. Easier to put up stuff on our FB page than the web page. Will put up thoughts on island and recovery. Just to be clear, we own Villa Tesori, so before someone...

Re: new property tax proposal

Dave,

The safe word thing is a definite win. Never thought of that. Only problem we have is that both Lisa and I are obsessed with the island. Not sure my wife or I would ever think it was necessary......lol

Re: Advice on snorkel fins

I agree that the mask is the most important. Have had the Tribord for over a year and love it. Both my wife and i use them all the time. Much greater visibility, peripheral vision. They do start to leak if you dive down, but we are generally surface snorkelers. prices have come down in the US a grea...
