So thankful we went. The island still has everything we are looking for. It was our favorite trip so far. Our love has grown with great admiration what this tiny island has accomplished in such a little time.
Jeep rental
Courtsey has always treated us right. Business building is being rebuilt. We did our contract in new van-office for now . Discount for return customers 10% and 6% discount if pay cash.
Angel Roost
Eighth time renting studio in lower level of their home.
Beaches
Francis, Scott, Turtle, Haulover North and South, Denis, Trunk, Saltpond, Grootpan, Waterlemon.
all beautiful.
Food
Rhumblines pu pu platter and pad thia to die for
Miss lucy, It is all about Grouper Reuben and homemade fries ate here twice
Aqua bisto, crunchy grouper good pasta salad not so much
Skinney legs,Burgers are large and just ok great place to see game
Indigo grill Fish tacos are great
North shore Deli good and love coconut bar aka crack bar
Sam and Jacks IMHO best deli sandwiches
Stores well stocked
Weather
picture perfect, sunny to little cloudy two short rain showers the whole time
Bugs,
minimal the island has been dry for a few weeks. A few mosquitos still found my husband.
Neso tent a bust. It was not windy and little gust would bring the poles down. Saw pacific breeze tent for two that looked like it would of been a better choice.The little chair umbrellas would not of been enough shade for me. Able to find some shade if there early on a few beaches,
Trails
Thanks to all who cleared the hiking trails. Rams head seemed better than before. Brown Bay was great. Haulover North the best ever.
Snorkeling
excited to be back in January because there was lots of areas we did not get to this trip.
Some of the shallow areas took big hit. Waterlemon to far right towards point was wiped out. Snorkeling the cay still had a little but nothing like before
Haulover North
Elk horn and pillar coral was damaged but still a great snorkel. Weather was calm and we were able to snorkel further out towards point.
Trunk
Actually was pretty good
Brown Bay to left was good far out.
Salt pond ok to left and good at center rocks
Francis still has turtles, rays and even 4 small manta rays,
Trees, flowers and cactus
it is amazing how much growth has happened since hurricane.
Most cactus were knocked over but are so resilient how the new growth is coming back.
Trash
Working hard to get all removed. We could see a big dent even in the 12 days we were there.
People
Very happy to have visitors back. Many wonderful conversations with locals.
