Did Melissa affect Exumas? tmsxmsails 1 minute ago I know this is the BVI forum but it's also the de facto chartering forum and I've asked Bahamas questions before...

I'm looking at Exumas for a charter in May and wondering if there were any adverse affects from Melissa this past week. I've been holding off making reservations until the hurricane threat has eased and I'm just about to get started.

Of course, any and all info/suggestions on Exumas chartering is welcome as well.

Thanks.

Chart Kit Virgin Islands Bertman 11/01/2025 04:42 PM I bought this back in the mid 90’s. Used to take it with me, but it has been sitting on a shelf in my closet for years. Maybe you want it? $20 + shipping cost. It’s not pristine. We had to fold it to fit into duffle bag and a couple of pages are torn. Includes both charts and color photos of popular anchorages in USVI and BVI. It’s old, but I checked, and all the islands are in their original locations. Will be shipped from Denver. Photos attached (if it works…otherwise I can email or text you photos)

Access to the port shops davemy 11/01/2025 01:17 PM Can a non-cruiser get access to the shops in the cruise port area?
I don't remember where the ID check is located and I wanted to get a bottle of the Old Man Guavaberry rum, if possible.

Christmas 2025 Alltech63 10/31/2025 02:46 PM Looking forward to returning in Dec. for 15 days. Last year we really enjoyed splitting our stay between 2 different places so this year we will spend 5 days at 3 different places.

First stop Karibuni 2nd stop will be a brand new place for us L'Esplande and last but not least Bleu Emeraude. After many years of staying at different condo's in SXM we really enjoyed the boutique hotel route last year.

Dinner reservations have been made a couple old favorites with a few new places tossed in to try.

Still waiting to hear from Kelly at BE when the Grand case parade and boat Xmas boat parade dates will be as we loved watching them both last year.

Looking forward to having drinks with Kat at the Lux bar in between stays as it is a great way to spend a few hours before next check in.

Having just returned from 2 weeks cruising with Celebrity visiting Portugal and the Canary Islands I will be on the wagon until Dec.

Kind of strange for the 1st time in 15yrs I am not on the road working this fall now if I can just get people to stop calling me

Retirement is getting closer but working from home when not on the road is making it difficult to pull the cord and 7 weeks of vacation is a nice to have but after 42 yrs ( I started at 12)

Also at 62 I am a spring chicken to most on here (definitely Scuba) but is it really work if you still enjoy it but I digress.

Always fun reading and seeing food and drink pictures on here lets me know I am not the only one with ..............gluttony issues

Wishing everyone a wonderful upcoming holiday season.

Just Signed On SuzJon 10/30/2025 02:49 PM I have been an avid reader of TravelTalk for many years, but just signed on. My husband Jon and I went to St. Martin on our honeymoon in 1983 and bought a timeshare at Divi in 1989, where we returned pretty much every year until 2016. Last month, Jon died and I find I still want to read about all goings on on the island, as we spent so many happy times there and made many good friends. As I have not been there for many years, I probably won’t do much posting, but so like reading all the latest.
