Connecting flights STT Cape AIr Katie Yesterday at 11:58 PM Hi, has anyone had a connection in St Thomas on a Cape Air flight recently? I want to fly into STT from JFK and then take a Cape Air flight. Will I have to get off the plane and then have to go back through security to catch the Cape Air flight? I'm trying to figure out timing on the Cape Air flight.

Kitty escorts needed to NY, CT or VT Scubacat Yesterday at 07:53 PM Kitties on the move!!

We have three little ones ready to go and join their forever home and they need your help getting there. Are you and your group travelling to Albany NY, Hartford CT, Newburgh NY or Burlington VT in the next week or so and could escort them?

Email us a screen shot of your itinerary and we will see if we can match you up.

PAW are always looking for puppy/dog escorts to FL and kitten/cat escorts to Boston if you can't help with the above!

Many thanks

New French restaurant coming In Simpson Bay Carol_Hill Yesterday at 05:47 PM It's apparently not open yet, but there is a new French restaurant coming to Simpson Bay. It's called Pardon my French, by Jax. Anyone have any info about it? If it's by Jax, I'm sure it will be good. Great to have another French restaurant on the Dutch side.

Shout out to Waypoints Nanny Cay Philggct Yesterday at 01:40 PM Chartering from Waypoints in STT. We had an unfortunate slip and fall with a severe cut to the leg for one of our crew Sunday night in Kelly’s Cove on Norman. We controlled the bleeding but knew we needed stitches. 11 pm call to Waypoints and a few options later I am on with Andrew the Nanny Cay base manager. We told him the situation and the plan to leave at first light and head to their base and he said to call when we were just about there. Followed the plan, docked in the end of an available dock and he had a cab there for us to get the crew and spouse to the hospital, all before 730a.m Around, 9 they moved us into a slip gave us power, water and told us to stay as long as needed no charge. Crew was back aboard with 6 stitches before noon and we were on our way. Andrew and Stephon could not have been more gracious and welcoming. Changed our planned schedule a bit, but they helped make a stressful situation better.

Trip Report Orient, Mullet, Grand Case. barryvabeach 02/18/2025 11:37 PM On Saturday, only 600 cruise passengers were expected, so we decided to go to a long time favorite, Orange Fever at Orient Beach. Two chairs with pads on the front row were $10, which I thought was quite reasonable. We also had their BBC's , which are great, and their pizza, which is a crispy style, and my wife had a salad. JC was there and was, in his words, bombastic. The weather was nice, not as windy as Grand Case has been, and the water was great for swimming. I saw a tractor on the beach towards Mt. Vernon that was picking up the sargassum, but only saw some in the water right opposite Mt. Vernon, none near Orange Fever or the other restaurants. On the way back, we stopped at Sebastien Quillere in the Mt. Vernon shopping plaza opposite Leader Price, and exercised great restraint - we only bought 2 lemons, a chocolate concotion and a brownie. The Lemon was, as always , out of this world, and the brownie, while not a work of art, was fantastic. That night we had leftovers from our Orange Fever Lunch.

Sunday, there were no cruise ships on the schedule, so we went to Mullet. $30 for a pair of chairs in front of Rosies. Almost no wind, waves were gentle and swimming was fun and even saw a few fish snorkeling by the rocks on the left end of the beach. Lunch was Rosies - chicken nuggets and cheeseburgers - nothing to write home about.

That night we went to La Villa. We got a mushroom ravoli as an appetizer, it was great, and my wife got the shrimp and scallops which were quite tasty. Service was impeccable, and the place was packed by 6:30, not an empty seat .

Monday and Tuesday, we were a little under the weather, so stayed at Grand Case - again, very windy. Tonight we took a walk and surveyed the options, and decided to try Quintessence , where Pascuals used to be. We ordered a Ceasar Salad and two pizzas to go, so I can't say anything about the service. I got a margherita and my wife ordered the St. Martin. The Cesar came in a bread bowl made of pizza dough, and my wife loved it. The margherita was spot on if you like thin crust, a little char on the bottom, and a puffy rim. Unfortunately , while the St. Martin was supposed to have goat cheese, but the time we got home we realized they substituted barrata. Otherwise, that pizza was good, but a lot of food, especially the prosciutto,

Although it was Tuesday night, no sign of a Harmony night Les Mardis de Grand Case, nor has the street been closed to through traffic any night this week. I had heard that Harmony night had been postponed, but not sure when it will resume.

Traffic was light on both Saturday and Sunday, and while in years past, the scooters were horrendous, I only saw a few on each trip.

New fee’s for USVI charter boats entering the BVI’s Andiamo 02/18/2025 02:20 PM Morning! We are looking forward to our upcoming charter out of the USVI and into the BVI’s in June. Original plan was to spend 1-2 nights moored off St John before clearing into the BVI’s for the remainder of the week. Just stumbled onto the article below and wanted to see if anyone had any more information/clarification.

https://stthomassource.com/content/...-cripple-charter-industry-officials-say/

We’ve done the BVI’s 4 times now and chartered in the USVI’s during Covid. Was looking forward to bringing our kids to combine the two trips for a new experience…
