Good for him! He has a deep connection to St. Barts. Although he says he's encouraging travel to St. Barts with a free concert, the people who normally go to St. Barts probably don't need free! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
It certainly wasn't free, but I can say that the Jimmy Buffett, Toby Keith, Kenny Chesney concert in Tallahassee was the best concert we've ever been to!!

Wow, that's an odd combination, I think! I would enjoy it though. Love the Eagles too! Where is the concert?

There may well be a special ferry that makes a roundtrip just for the concert. That would be the way to go, if you could. As otherwise, you'd also have to find someplace to stay on St Barts, which I assume would be hard just for one night.

There are new Mini-Mokes now, made in China I think.

Around 7 or 8 yrs ago when JB put on a free concert in St Barts, we took two fast boats over that were chartered for the concert by groups. When we got over there, we found a lot of chartered boats had gone over from SXM too. It was packed with people. I can only imagine how crowded it will be Christmas week!

Yes, I remembered that. That would be the way to go if someone is doing that this time.

I used to LOVE the creperie in Gustavia. They knew how to make a real galette.

I just looked through more of our old pictures from Buffett in 09. The link to Rafting Adventures at sailingsxm.com no longer works. But, I did see in another picture that the Golden Eagle was a tour boat that went over for the concert. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_R...St_Maarten.html I don't know how many other catamarans survived the hurricane.

Kim, The show was in the evening, and I think we met the boat in the mid afternoon.
