Just got back from my 10th trip since 2002, and definitely seemed like it was busier than any june trip i’ve ever made.

However, it also struck me that while change is a constant anywhere, i think the BVI is more like it was 20 years ago than any other place i could name. Not dying off like some small towns, not exploding with growth like a lot of places. Largely just the same. We moor, eat, visit, and shop at the same places we always have (even if, like BEYC, they’re completely rebuilt) we did 20 years ago.

Boatyball was maybe the biggest operational difference in the whole trip, and even that had its positives (plus we only had to use it twice).
