I'd hold off on Aquafina though....and the beach may be some distance away....just grab some water out of the pool to use. Most houses have trash containers, and plastic garbage bags...so there you go. The pool will never miss a couple gallons of water that would have been absorbed by the sun the next day anyway! It's still paradise for McGuyver when the power's out!!! I agree with Chicago Steve on the water for the toilets.

I just kept checking back. I decided the after-the-palm-death funeral party must have really been wild and you had to sleepin. Listen hear boys- we have our limits as to how long we are going to wait for a post. 4 am tops. I know, I know, sometimes you post twice in a day but that does not excuse this kind of behavior. Consider this your warning!!!! Ditto… I just kept checking back. I decided the after-the-palm-death funeral party must have really been wild and you had to sleepin.

Are you sure that picture on the right is really a flashlight? Looks more like a UFO over the USVI to me! Hey! Are you sure that picture on the right is really a flashlight?

But that's only if you're REALLY desperate. Just remember, you can always refill the toilet tanks with Aquafina… or buckets of sea water you’ve hauled up from the beach.

I thought...Geez, I hope they are okay down there...I may have to text or call those boys later if nothing shows up on the site! PHEW! I feel better now. :) I agree with the previous posts…while sipping my morning coffee, I was sorely disappointed that there was no news from the South.

The power's out. (continues to use hose to fill A/C water thingies) How I do love the charm of the islands...ummm...where the hell is the water going?" (Calls owner of house where we're staying) "Oh...really...I'm very sorry...my mistake entirely. Can you please re-prime the pump? It will never happen again" (Drinks beer...)

First I check out the ferry web cam and yes, the dock is there and the sun is shining. But wait, when I go to check out today's On-STJohn story there is none....panic.....what's up? OK, so the power outage explains it, I feel much better now. So this morning I power up my laptop as usual and go straight for my morning STJ fix.
