Sunset cruise?
Phyllis
1 hour ago
Has anyone taken the 2-hour champagne sunset cruise out of Phillipsburg? How is the parking/logistics, and the safety walking back to your car afterwards?

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!

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

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

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 weāve 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 Iām restricting certain foods this trip.
Saturday, we checked out Marigot Marketākind of sparse, picked up some of our wines weād bought last trip at Le Gout du Vin, a few items from Miss Ebbyās, 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. Iāve had palate issues this trip, but itās me not the food.
A word about red snapper. Iāve had it many waysāmostly fancy haut cuisineāand 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 canāt go wrong feeding 2 people for $14. But Iāve 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 appetizersāsmoked salmon (best weāve had), goat cheese pastry, snails, and lobster bisque. We topped that off with cake with melted chocolate, decaf cappuccinos, and the wonderful rum shots.
