Your boat trip just got easier
After more than a year of being out of service, the inner dock at the National Park building is now available again to boat captains. At least, half open. That’s a big deal. It could get pretty congested on the creek side National Park dock. Your captain can only hang out waiting for you for about 15 minutes before getting run off, so don’t be late. (The other side of the dock remains unavailable for “the foreseeable future.”)

At the risk of lighting a powder keg, Cruz Bay could really use a little, itsy bitsy baby marina in the creek. Anyone who has cleared back through customs after a long, otherwise awesome day in the BVI’s knows what a buzz kill that experience can be. There is no good reason a small facility with dockage for 15-20 charter boats couldn’t make that a little less dread-some for those of use who use or work on charters regularly. People would get dropped off at the existing customs office and by the time they cleared and walked 100 feet over to the creek, their stuff could be sitting on the bulkhead waiting for them. This would also allow boat crews to clean their vessels much more efficiently with water and power – leaving more time for everyone on the water.
…and before I get flamed for suggesting something that will, in the minds of many, no doubt threaten to destroy St John as we know it; bear in mind the creek is already scheduled for dredging leaving nothing to be threatened environmentally by a more organized Cruz Bay. In fact, a pump out facility would be a responsible add on that would improve water quality all over St John.

That sounds reasonable to me.

It is a little strange that the only way I can pump out my head is to go over to Tortola or STT…. Considering the “interesting” smells in Coral Bay I’d presume there are folks who don’t bother to travel to pump out.
