Since it is now June 17 and the "new" entry requirements for fully vaccinated folks only require a positive antibody test Vs a PCR test on Jun 15 has anybody been successful using the portal or gaining BVI entry on only the antigen test? The board has been silent on this question

The board has been silent on this question The BVI requirements do not allow for a positive antibody test. They require a negative RT-PCR test or negative "approved rapid antigen test" within 5 days or arrival.

Ian posted something yesterday that he had a conversation with Lynette Harrigan from the tourist board and was told "One of the questions I asked was about the rapid antigen test for fully vaccinated arrivals. So long as the result is from a certified laboratory it will be accepted. No home tests !!"

We arrived yesterday using an antigen test from our health center (University of Michigan). It was the Sophia test. We were approved at the 24 hr before arrival mark.

Jason - I'm still not seeing any info on when the water taxi folks can resume inbound services. Have you heard anything on when that might open up.

Nope. These announcements are always a surprise. Planning would be a lot to ask for.

They finally released a list of approved rapid antigen tests. Today we had our pre-trip test at CVS and their antigen test is LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 Antigen (Ag) Test which doesn't seem to be on the UK list. However it on the FDA site as being authorized so I plan to use it for our group.

Just to be clear - have lots of people been using the CVS rapid test for BVI clearance?

Many people on the facebook groups have been using the CVS Rapid Antigen test to enter the BVI.
