Let's
face it. The weather is sometimes against us.
The
good thing about the Virgin Islands is that we have a pretty constant
breeze. This means that showers are isolated and tend to last from 5 to
15 minutes. Nothing serious. But occasionally a system stalls over the
VIs and it just rains. Or sometimes strong winds whip the sea-state
into something less than friendly.
Since your comfort and enjoyment are our primary concern, we don't want
you to feel forced into something that may make you miserable.
Give us a call first, and we'll give your our opinion
of
what
the day will be like. Rain or shine we'd love to show you a fantastic
day. But the final decision will be yours. You won't be charged for
last
minute weather cancellations.
