Well - I booked it. Christopher's Taxi and Dohm's Water taxi. They will ONLY do Red Hook (at least that's what they're telling me). So - on the upside, we'll get a tour of STT, I guess. I'll let you know whether this was worth the $$ when we get back! Thanks for all of the help with various issues o...

I knew I shouldn't have even checked it. There has been very little sunshine here in MA lately - we're ready for some UV rays! Do they get those "Florida" showers down there? You know, the ones that pour buckets for 10 minutes then stop?? I was last there in August - bright sun every day!

Hi Shopper. That may have been me. I have one reserved through Spencer's on STJ for next week. The picture shows a pickup with a canopy over the bed of the truck, and benches on both sides of the bed. I'll let youi know how it was when we get back at the end of the month.

Thanks Pete! I think I'll grab one of those JBL gizmos (and the extension cord too). The Bose dock is kind of big and clunky for packing into a suitcase. How long ago were you at Vistaero? Maybe they fixed that idock . . .?

That's great advice! I think I will give the Dohms thing a whirl. Wife thinks I;m an idiot for spending the $$ - but I know who'll be lugging the gear! We're renting from Spencers (through the Villa management Co) I got one of those Safari trucks - couldn't resist. We don't have a car for the first ...

Water Taxi to STJ - Help Me Decide!

Hi All. I have read numerous posts recommending taking the taxi service (Dohms) from STT to STJ. I am travelling with my wife and 4 kids (7-11). From looking at the site, it states atht the water taxi can only pick up at Red Hook - not CA. I am arriving at 1 p.m. on a Thursday. My dilemma is that th...
