In defense of taxi drivers. On my 70 th birthday we had just sent our beloved Bountiful off to Florida hoping it would sell better there. We then hired (we thought) a taxi to take us around Tortola since we had spent most of our 30 years of sailing the BVI on the boat, not touring the island.
I cannot remember the drivers name, but when he found out that the tour was my birthday present he refused to take any payment for his services. He took us everywhere. Granted, it was midweek in early June, no cruise ships in port, but even so we were more than willing to pay for his fuel. He refused to take any money. This was a wonderful memory of the islands we knew and loved.
I am hoping newer readers of this forum have an opportunity to meet true BVIslanders like our driver.
