Peter Island questions BEERMAN Yesterday at 11:34 PM I am thinking about changing up our itinerary a little? In the past we have stayed around the popular spots, both clockwise and counter, including St John and Anegada. We will be doing some fishing, as long as the crew allows!, but I want to head towards the south drop again and Peter seems like a logical overnight if we go out that way. We have moored in Great and Little harbour's. Day anchored at Deadmans. What are White, Key and Sprat Bays like? What weather patterns make any of those a no go? Appreciate any info/advice!

upcoming trip joe9090 Yesterday at 02:51 PM Will be on island in 2 weeks. Haven't been in 15 years. Staying on Orient. Been hearing about the seaweed issues. Fingers crossed that it is less. Always went in July and never remember it. Do we still go for mussels on Thursdays and where is good now?

Thanks!!

Pimpin' Ain't Easy Todd 07/09/2025 08:15 PM I see a post for say car rental, and I know in just a moment one person consistently will pimp out, SAX, AAA, Hertz, etc. This is common with multiple items on island, so maybe we all should just put all the companies we pimp on our profile so we don't have to waste as much time making the statement over and over. There is the one guy that could just put "who ever pays me to pimp them". Yes, I find this hilarious, but why not!

Full disclosure, I am not really a pimp.

Carriacou Michael Gadilhe 07/09/2025 06:58 PM I am considering a stay on Carriacou with my wife. Can anyone comment on the island in general insofar as the atmosphere, restaurants, beaches etc. We were thinking of an 8 to 10 day stay..The lack of development is the attraction for us. We are interested in the Las Tortugas villa. Thanks

Through Monday Report cruzer 07/09/2025 11:40 AM Our laid-back vacation continues to mosey along, with lunch being the main attraction.

Friday lunch was at Le Champagne, where we shared our usual beef carpaccio (the best we’ve experienced on the island) with Mrs. Cruzer opting for the tempura shrimp and me having the duck confit. I opted for veggies instead of the standard mashed potatoes. Not the wisest culinary move, but I’m restricting certain foods this trip.

Saturday, we checked out Marigot Market—kind of sparse, picked up some of our wines we’d bought last trip at Le Gout du Vin, a few items from Miss Ebby’s, and then off to lunch at Le Tropicana. Our meal included their black truffle sandwich, a fancy snapper dish, and a plate of smoked salmon. As usual, a very enjoyable meal.

Sunday was off to Yvettes, a rare time for us by having only the main course, and no apps or cold beers. As is the norm, the pan-fried snapper filet in a creole sauce was excellent, but Mrs. C thinks she may be tiring of the Conch and Dumplings. I’ve had palate issues this trip, but it’s me not the food.

A word about red snapper. I’ve had it many ways—mostly fancy haut cuisine—and the mild flavor of the fish is masked by the toppings. At Yvettes the filet is floured, pan fried, and topped with a creole sauce. I rate it an A, whereas all the others rate at best a B.

Monday was to be Bistrot Caraibes night. That meant we needed a lighter lunch, which happened to be the lolos. We shared 9 ribs, I had cole slaw and Mrs. C. had veggies. You can’t go wrong feeding 2 people for $14. But I’ve been in Texas too long to truly enjoy the ribs here, due to lack of smoke and minimal rub. Still, a person needs a pork fix sometimes and these do the trick.

Bistrot Caraibes was its usual excellent meal, where we generally share appetizers—smoked salmon (best we’ve had), goat cheese pastry, snails, and lobster bisque. We topped that off with cake with melted chocolate, decaf cappuccinos, and the wonderful rum shots.

Question and photo test BEERMAN 07/07/2025 07:55 PM It's been a while since I did a report here, so testing with pics. We spent a long holiday weekend getting my first sunburn of 2025 at our WV property!

Question is...we enjoyed floating on the pond on BOTE floats, what Road Town rental companies do you recommend for maybe renting a SUP or float? We are less than 3 weeks from our TMM charter!!
