I'll be doing 8 Tuff also! (Fourth time for me, but my knees will be 7 years older than my first time running it.) I rent from Courtesy. They let you park in their lot. Once I hitch hiked back from Coral Bay to Cruz Bay after the race (other times I had a ride.) Are you staying in Cruz Bay or Coral ...

Thanks Suziekue! Somehow I missed that one. I'll contact them today!

Hi Lori! Just one bedroom needed; it will be just 2 of us. Would love the lowdown! (I looked at your place too - looks gorgeous! Just more than what the 2 of us need. You did a wonderful job with it!)

Hello all! Looking for thoughts on a budget friendly villa for two on the Coral Bay side for next February. Don't need a pool or AC; hot tub nice but certainly not necessary. Mostly want great views! And I think Calabash Boom and John's Folly may be a bit too far. I'd love to stay less than $2600 fo...

SuefromMA: just updated my ticker! Thanks for the reminder. Yours is looking good.

Hi Linne! I remember you and your lovely posts. Thank you for posting about the Centennial - I was not aware of the transfer date. It's interesting timing: I just booked my flights for next year's 8 Tuff race, and I'm inviting my Danish friend Torben (he lives in the US now) and his wife to join us....

Congrats! I just booked too - used miles on United. Going back for 8 Tuff next year!

Thanks to this forum, I fell in love with STJ before my first trip. That was about 9 years ago: our first trip was after Christmas and over New Year's Eve, 2007/2008. We stayed at Starlit Escape with 2 other families. My first impression was from the top of the ferry - I was both wildly excited yet ...

Vie's snack shack or beach? Or both? I will miss her conch fritters if her snack shack has closed.

Thanks for the scoops.

Glad you had a great trip! I'll check out the villa; I always stay on the Coral Bay side and like hearing about villas I don't know.

Sorry to hear about Vie's beach. Didn't know there was another way to get to a beach at Hansen - where did you park?

Thanks for the scoops!

We've rented kayaks at Cinnamon and gone to Whistling Cay a couple of times. Love it! It can be a bit challenging on a surfy day, but definitely fun. I like following the shoreline (first time we were way out and I prefer not being so far out, especially in a head wind.) Did it once on a SUP and tha...

+1 on the rash guards. Love mine for long snorkels and dinghy / boat days.

I heard this on the news and would love to see this in action! "Police in the Netherlands are taking a unique approach toward unwanted, and potentially unsafe, drones. They’re the first in the world to use birds to hunt and catch drones that are being used illegally. These eagles are trained to...

Mine was delivered yesterday! Can't wait to really dig into it. Thank you for the recommendation!
