After reading that title you may be expecting a treatise on surviving the hiking trails in the BVI, but alas, ‘tis a bit lower brow than that my friends.

I was on TTOL today and got the idea of asking the travelers in the know where we could get water, ice, fuel etc.  during our bareboat.  I also made the honest mistake of asking about holding tank pump outs.  I guess I should have remembered from our trip in 2002, but I was quickly reminded that everyone simply dumps their tanks overboard down there. Gives new meaning to the term recycle, doesn’t it! After the humorous banter subsided, I did get the info I needed, but I’ll be more careful what I ask in the future. 

 I guess its another reason to be grateful the crowds will be sparse during our trip. Here’s praying the current always flows AWAY and out snorkle gear is turd tight!!
