Yes - and boats. I wasn't too worried until the last update which indicates
the storm has lost forward momentum and is just drifting out there - just barely east of due south of the BVI. They are predicting that it will resume its course in the morning and I sure hope so but anything can happen. As of the middle of this afternoon, the Moorings was planning to let the Friday charter starts go for sure - maybe even tomorrow's!

AA is fine - St Thomas. All we need to do now is make sure there are islands left to fly into.

It does make sense that there shouldn't be a problem with traveling to the USVI; since you have to clear immigration to get in there from the BVI I wouldn't expect to have to clear again when you go back to the mainland or Puerto Rico. We haven't spent much time sailing in the USVI so it would be an exploratory trip for us - not at all a bad thing. We can't get the boat to the USVI till Monday (charter doesn't start till noon on Sun. and there's tons of work getting all the food/drinks/ice etc. put away). Best bet is to pick Bruce up in St. John - Charlotte Amalie on St. Thomas is reputed to be a large, busy commercial port - a great place for yachts to play dodge-em with the cruise ships (not fun). There is regular ferry service from St. Thomas to St. John. We won't be there before noon on Monday. I just got off the phone with Greg so hopefully AA can do the right thing here!

Basically, I was not able to get hold of a travel permit. Vermont apparently has lost my documents including travel permit and Federal Plaza cannot step in. I cannot drive to Vermont, because they only do postal. I think I would feel slightly better had I known the outcome at the start of the day rather than at the end. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I asked the question of whether I could goto the US Virgin Islands. The first answer was "no", so I persisted and the second answer was "yes; can I point you to the US in the US Virgin Islands", so feeling very patronised but having achieved something for my day at Federal Plaza I left. We now have 3 choices: 1. Go to US VI......I definitely cannot go to BVI 2. Delay flight a couple of days and hope that travel permit comes through (which it should because my lawyer) 3. Got to USVI and get permit sent on if it comes through G: Please can you see about changing my flights to the US VI. You are better at dealing with airlines than I am.....pretty please!
