Great day today at JVD. Currently on a ball in Great Harbor and the weather is petfect. A bit of rain last night but nothing but blue skies now!
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - beer in hand - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO, What a Ride!"

We checked out Hendos yesterday. Good drinks, good atmosphere, less crowded.

We were at Hendo's week before last & it was sooo nice to have a quiet place to land for a while. It'll be even nicer when their beach chairs arrive. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Tonguea.gif" alt="" />
Yes, it's a little pricey. But it's a beautifully crafted building made entirely of ipe, the bathroom is clean with no admonishment to not flush, and service is prompt & cheerful. I had a vegetarian pita (not on the menu but they made it anyway) which was just so-so, but those who got burgers said they were the best they had had in the islands. We'll be making it our go-to in WB from now on.
Good to hear the wind has died down a bit, we were over 20kts all week with plenty of over-30 gusts.
If I can't be a good example, I'll just have to be a horrible warning.

Is Hendo's the place that was right next to Soggy's and was still under contstruction last year? Looking through Soggy's web cam at 2:10 and looks like rain over Tortola - Get your bars of soap just in case it hits White Bay!!
