Barge blowout settles down

At least two barges are running again, and next time you’re down you may get a ride on the General II. That one’s been out of service for months. Out of the Caribbean in fact. It’s return comes after an extensive stateside overhaul. Barge taking is getting darn expensive. The cost, plus the new Red Hook fee is pushing a roundtrip barge ride towards $60 now. That’s like 30 Red Stripes.

    30 Red Stripes would be a lot more fun, and take you on an interesting ride too !

    Any idea on the current status of the barges? I’m going to be on the island in 3 long-painful weeks and was planning on renting a car on STT and bringing it over on the barge.
