On the right side of Mahoe Bay facing west a few hundred feet from the point is an abandon brick and stone structure that appears to the remains of an old sugar mill. Does anyone have knowledge of the building?

I believe it is the remnants of the old Georgio's restaurant.
Hillside crumbled on top of it and they never rebuilt.
They are now operating out of the Rock Café as far as I have heard?

Georgio is now operating a restaurant in Road Town, Tortola...fortunately that landslide came in the early hours of the morning or there would have been a terrible toll..

There are the remains of an old sugar mill there that you can see when driving through, but I'm not sure of the history of it.

I'm a little confused about location. When you say on the right, are you looking out toward the channel, or with your back to the bay? If you are looking toward the villa's with your back to the water, it just might be Giorgio's old restaurant. But, if you are facing out over the water a right to the end would be to the end of Mango Bay villa's. And, if that is right, I'm going exploring in May to see what you might maybe have seen. Long Bay has ruins that have not been restored to a nice appearance like the one's at Nail Bay resort. If you don't know how to get to Long Bay, continue driving past Nail Bay and after a short drive you will go down a slight incline and across some rods over a drainage culvert. There is a dirt road on your left. Take it to the end and there is Long Bay and old ruins. Bring your camera. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/circle.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" />

It is on the right facing the Dog Islands in the wooded area next to the point. It stands about two stories and is a mixture brick and stonework. I first came came upon it about a dozen years go while kayaking to Nail Bay.I am going to post some pictures of it on my website later this week.
