Heineken Regatta Question Whale Tail 4 hours ago Does anybody know which of the 3 days of racing is the day that the boats are racing a course around the marks? Last year we went out on Lambada or Tango for the around the island race but I think I could get better pictures on a course day. I figure Zanshin would know as he is on the committee boat.
Thanks

dive shop/scuba tours jsbell Yesterday at 04:00 PM We will be down in March with my two sons and their families. Older son has his Scuba cert and is interested in doing some diving. Any recommendations? We all did a discover Scuba trip years ago with Octopus in Grand Case, but I really haven't thought about it since then. Also, he is trying to talk his brother and I into taking classes here and doing the checkout dives in St Maarten. Any recommendations for that?

Strange light over Cooper Swifty Yesterday at 02:57 PM I want to start this thread by acknowledging that this is going to sound crazy! Last night, we were moored at Cooper and saw a strange, glowing light moving very fast over the anchorage. This was just after sunset, around 6:30. The light was sort of a semi-circle, and looked like it was encased in a cloud, but there were no clouds around. It did not look like a plane and it didn’t have any other lights. It was also silent.

Later that evening, I ran into another sailor at the bar who saw the same thing, but neither of us had any idea what it was. Did anyone see this last night? Or has anyone experienced anything like this in the past? Sadly, we didn’t get a photo because it happened very quickly.

Oil Nut Bay - Marina Village jredenbaugh 11/18/2024 08:42 PM We went to the main resort at Oil Nut Bay back in 2018 after one of the hurricanes. It was a blast. We are coming back to the BVIs in June 2025. Has anyone overnighted at the marina at Oil Nut Bay? Worth while?
