Maria_and_Steve Traveler Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 1,296 Colorado and Sailing the World	If you take a mooring near the Fat Virgin remember that Biras Creek is now closed. Access is forbidden and marked plainly with many signs. The docks at Biras Creek are in long term use but there is no where to go, other than to the Fat Virgin. The trail from the Bitter End to Biras Creek (Mangrove Trail) is also closed at the Bitter End and is marked closed at the Biras Creek end. Guy's Trail at the Bitter End is open with a sign at the top saying the trail down to Biras Creek is closed (that trail is getting overgrown as is the Mangrove Trail). The roads and trails going to and around Oil Nut Bay are still spectacular though <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />

There is nothing left of the equipment on the entire Mangrove Trail now.

I think this would be exactly the kind of updated information Mark would want and we all could benefit from on the new website... Consider posting it? https://www.bvimariner.com/post-now/ Kim
