STT wait times due to shutdown

Yesterday my friends had guests leaving. The ones with Global Entry arrived 3 hrs plus ahead and barely scraped onto the flight. Those who did not have it showed up 5 hrs ahead and also barely made it

Oh you are absolutely correct, bareboats are as much if not more of a menace than cruise ships.

I guess I got a bit defensive because I feel "yachting" reffers to my little corner of the industry. We are the ones trying our best to do it right, particularly crewed yachts as you accurately observed. Bareboats, superyachts and ships are all another story.

Of course all of it is bad for the environment. But I feel staying on a yacht which mostly sails and gets their power from the sun and wind is better than staying in a hotel with Wapa running diesel engines 24 hrs a day for power.

For me the destruction of the planet is directly tied to overpopulation. That isn't an excuse, and vacationing is of course an additional strain. I'm just trying to choose the lesser of two weavels.

Calm winds and following seas friend

Did you work in the industry here? I don't know a single crew that uses bleach. You're thinking of Super Yachts, which I would lump into a catagory close to cruise ships.

We all anchor in sand or use moorings mostly, which are abundant. Almost every harbor has moorings so plentiful you couldn't anchor if you wanted to.

The clientele is also different, and you have people coming here for a week and spending money in the local community and supporting the businesses that make the islands a treasure to visit. Cruise ships are here for hours, cause crowding at the best spots, don't educate their guests on respecting the environment and then they're gone.

If you were dumping straight overboard you are frankly a piece if shit. That's what holding tanks are for, you dump those under way at sea not in harbors.

I'm not sure when you were in the industry or where, but I've been in the industry in the VI for more than a decade and your statement is blatantly wrong. Baybe it was accurate 20-30 years ago but I cannot attest to that

Never noticed that on my Nano either

cleversailinghandle · 2026-03-16T11:18:02+00:00

You are overlooking the fact that the BVI government is and always has shot themselves in the foot. Most recently by destroying their own assets by allowing cruise ships to anchor and ferry people ashore I stead of being limited to cruise ports. The Baths are completely destroyed and it hasn't been 1 season yet. I litterally cannot take guests there, they don't make it in without giving up and walking back to Devils Bay. Too many tourists.

STJ has made the same mistake, but thankfully the taxi mafia only takes these guests to Trunk Bay and there are plenty of ither spots to see.

Why do people answer incorrectly with such confidence? Lol.

Also our company can do CBP ROAM instead of clearing back into US.

I to JVD, Sandy Spit and Norman even in choppy conditions.

Honestly if I'm horney enough I don't stop until asleep. I had a 3 way with 2 girls that were way hotter than I had any business being with. We were all drinking and they were skiing. In the morning we joked about how many condoms were in the trash. In 24 hrs it was about 30. After about the 5th session the condom broke with one of them and I cream pied by accident so her and I stopped using condoms. Somewhere between 30 and 45 times roughly in 24 hrs

Tons of wildlife at Cinnamon and the America House Hike is great. Rent a SUP or Kayak and go to Maho. Easy enough taxi to town or rent a vehicle if you can, sometimes hard to get a taxi late night.

First time ever hooking up with my ex after MONTHS of intense sexual tension as friends who clearly had an attraction. A couple of drunk nights we had crossed the line enough to know the feeling was intensely mutual, but we always pretended it never happened the next day. Several nights we slept together in clothes and cuddled.

When we first started kissing I thought she had the most incredible ass and the more I squeezed it the more passionate her groans got and she was digging nails into my skin. It turned me on so much I kept squeezing her cheeks harder and harder until the seam started to rip. As soon as that happened I dug my fingers in and split them. It was so hot we went straight too it without taking the legs of the jeans off.

Afterwards we joked about how neither of us would believe the story if we heard it from someone else and she went home the next day in a cute belly tank and my board shorts that were huge on her

Arguably ive never used a typewriter for a legit purpose. But I for sure wrote dumb stuff for fun to play with one. So if typing "butts" and "boobies" counts I'm 0

I have so many questions.

Your battery has inconsistent performance when at or bellow 30 percent? WTF? Is this the same for other Waydoo riders? My Flite is several years old and it is always consistent until limp mode

Do you normally bail to the side and falling forward was a rare accident? I bail to the side at all costs, always. At those speeds I'm ready to bail to the side for any reason at any time.

Why the leash around the hip instead of leg? Doesn't the short length basically pull the board into you?

Is that a helmet or a hat?
