Coming from the states, we are routinely pleasantly surprised at the amount of trust extended to us as customers of businesses here in the BVI. One night we sat down at a beach bar just in time for “last call.” They not only served us, but gave us an extra drink gratis right before they left, telling us to turn off the lights when we were finished. Another example of their extremely trustful nature happened recently when we walked into a graphics shop to ask about getting some new lettering for Exit Strategy. The designer was in the middle of a sizable project, yet he interrupted it to do our job. Upon completion, we found out that he didn’t take credit cards and we didn’t have enough cash on us. So he said, “That’s OK, just come in when you have it.”
Some of this laid back, trusting attitude is rubbing off on Captain Dan. While having cocktails at Foxy’s Taboo, the young guy who collects mooring fees needed to borrow a dinghy to do his job. Dan loaned our dinghy to him without hesitation, resulting in the bartender giving us free drinks. The next afternoon, the sequence of events was repeated. Subsequently, the Captain wants to stay here forever…
