I got into STT last Wednesday at minutes past 3.00 pm but only had my luggage by 4.00 PM. Tried to take a taxi but they just squash as many people as will fit into one of the buses. I did mention to the taxi-driver that the ferry will not wait for anybody. I wanted to catch the 4.30 from Tortola Wharf to West End. The taxi driver insisted that there was no ferry from Tortola Wharf only the 5.00 PM from Red Hook. By now it was 4.15 PM since he was still fitting more people on his bus. Only through the assistance of a lady working at the airport and catching a ride did I get him to stop at Tortola Wharf and Smith Ferry was still there. There was no way with the afternoon traffic that he would have been able to get me to Red Hook for 5.00 PM. Not sure whether he was just looking for a larger fare with trying to take me to Red Hook or what his reasoning was. My daughter tried to contact Kevin for me but only got some ladies voice-mail at the number I had. I am very fortunate not to have been stuck on St. Thomas and paying about $ 200.00 for a Hotel-room.
