Hello checking in to see if any folks are staying at Mt Vernon April 2-13 ?Thanks Larry and Sharon

For those who have visited Cypress Cove (Poinciana, FL) and have had difficulties with the WiFi there, I have encouraging news. They are installing Fiber! No details are available as to coverage (residences vs RV park vs hotel rooms) as yet but it can't help but improve the reliability/usefulness of their WiFi system. It has improved over the years but with everyone trying to stream, the system has gotten bogged down quite often, at least in the RV park. Many, like us, have needed to acquire their own broadband source. Am hoping they plan to install fiber there as well.

BTW, Mardi Gras was great this year again!

Just returned from an afternoon of great jazz with mr and mrs Whaletail.

I’ll let him post with a review and photos. Great afternoon.

Hey all,
So as I've been re-planning a visit in June, I just noticed that there is a limited street view on Google Maps for the island. Its limited, but its something, right?

As I clicked around, it looks like it may have been independently submitted and accepted by Google and the date is January 2025 so its recent.

It looks like it runs from the Sixt on Airport Road, down to Welfare, then turns to Brouwer, then Bush, then Zagersgut, then Illidge, then crossing to the French Side on that main road going through Orleans Quarter, then turning by CulDeSac towards the airport, down Hollande thru Marigot, connecting to the Causeway bridge then reconnecting to the Sixt. Its a decent loop with some good street views.

I recall seeing one from 2019 in the Airport/Maho section, but this new view is cool.

A pretty quiet day. I dropped the group at SMYC for breakfast while I made a quick trip into town and then a stop by LaVista to say hi to a long-time friend, Jean-Marie. Some pool time at Royal Palm then a quick lunch at Lee's. We headed to Maho a little early to have a drink at Roma and do a little shopping.

Dinner reservations at Jax for a group of 8, which included kim and the Whale Tails. It made for exceptionally good company and conversation. Kim goes back to visiting the island as a young girl, with her mom and dad (pat &John) and has me beat in years coming here. Whale Tail covered the food choices with his pictures. The food and service were all very good and I am glad they felt welcome to join us. I had planned to order the beef short rib but Jax had a Chateaubriand special (3 different sizes were offered) and when I saw kim's eyes light up when the waiter described it, we decided to split the 14 oz portion. I think the cost was $95, which is comparable or even less than I have paid at high-end restaurants at home. It was very good, as were all the other choices.

Some in the group did a little more shopping, gambling and I went to the Beer Garden for a glass of wine and to enjoy the scenes and weather.

As we came by Nowhere Special it was packed and loud at about 10:30. I had no idea where the music was coming from, but I heard some up to 4:00am. Not loud but it could be heard.

The Cook family and LFM Capital in Nashville , Tn are pleased to present fireworks in South Sound tonight. The Cook family has been on Virgin Gorda for over 40 years and this is a celebration of our love for the island. LFM Capital brought all of its employees to Virgin Gorda this past week as a celebration of the success of the company. Please go to South Sound and enjoy the fireworks tonight. Starts around 9 PM
