We are arriving 2/6, party of 6, I am very concerned about all the timing of the testing. We can’t get “stuck” in paradise, jobs await! We have been going for 20 years and this year I’m questioning if the planning/ requirements are worth it, unfortunately we booked in September and thought this Covid thing was going to get better, so now we’re paid in full and can’t reschedule. I know it’ll be great if/when we get there!

I would not be concerned about finding a table due to COVID or language. The island is a welcoming place for games players and anyone offering up a hearty Bonjour!

KevinS replied to a thread La Transat AG2R La Mondiale Returns as La Transat En Double Concarneau-St Barthélemy in St Barts Island Main Forum

That's certainly something to consider. The course record was set in 2018 by winners Thomas Ruyant and Adrien Hardy on Agir Recouvrement, with a finish time of 18 Days 11 Hours 48 Minutes 32 Seconds. Diana picked the winning boat and time for that event. The 2018 race was the last of the Concarneau-St Barthélemy races using the Beneteau Figaro 2 class of boats. The 2021 race will be the first of the Concarneau-St Barthélemy races using the newer Beneteau Figaro 3. Here's an interesting article from Sailing World about the Figaro 3:

Jim A replied to a thread St. Barth Cancellation Policy in St Barts Island Main Forum

Perhaps be flexible on your villa/hotel choice and wait until the last minute to book? Maybe you even get a discount (or stay one day less) to offset possibly higher airfare? This may not work going thru SJU as it seems to me those flights book up and maybe not SBC thru SXM but it may work with Winair thru SXM or worst case scenario...the ferry (:().

KevinS started a thread La Transat AG2R La Mondiale Returns as La Transat En Double Concarneau-St Barthélemy in St Barts Island Main Forum

La Transat AG2R La Mondiale, the two-handed race between Concarneau in Brittany and St Barthélemy on identical Beneteau Figaro boats, was cancelled in 2020 due to COVID. Since then, AG2R, the lead sponsor, has dropped out of sponsoring sailing races to focus their sponsorship on cycling. The race between Concarneau and St Barthélemy will return in 2021 as La Transat en Double Concarneau - St Barthélemy. This year, the boats will be the Beneteau Figaro 3, a class of boats which is new in the last few years. The scheduled start date is May 9, 2021. The race website can be found at https://www.transatendouble.bzh/

didier replied to a thread Billiards/Pool Tables in St Barts Island Main Forum

not sure if the pool table is still there, but even if it is, covid rules would apply. everything in a restaurant has to be cleaned constantly, so unlikely that the table would be open for play. another factor , this is a local hangout, if you do not speak fluent french or portuguese, the welcome mat may not be there.

Thanks for all the information. Seems easier to get tested on the island than here in the states. Has anyone traveled through SXM? Thinking about PremiumIV to avoid some exposure.

PeterLynn replied to a thread Vaccinations in Everything Else

Wife and daughter, both in healthcare, go their second doses of the Pfizer vaccine a couple of weeks ago (no timeline for the men in the family). Other than sore arms, no side effects after the first dose, but the second was closer to the shingles vaccine. Daughter was fine, but the wife spent the whole next day on the couch. Slight fever, headache and general malaise. A little sluggish on day two, but otherwise fine.

Our school nursing staff is getting theirs today. Educators are in group 1B in our state, so hopefully I will be soon. Fingers crossed for Randy, as he is not in any of the advanced groups.

Didier, I'm a big fan of your work on the island and donated to your cause through SBIPOA last year. With the pandemic we are not coming to SBH, but I would like to support Coral Restoration. Is there a way I can donate online? Merci en advance, John Hi John Thank you for your message, all is good !! We do not longer have a webpage the moment, so thé only way for us to receive a donation is by wire.

My exact question, that I have not been able to get any response to. Lots of Europeans are traveling with transit in Paris on their way to St. Barth. Will they also be required to do 7 days isolation? "Travelers from Metropolitan area towards St. Barth" is really up for interpretation.
