Last time the post your own updates page cancelled itself as the new year came in. We will see if this one does better. Updates from all regions and general comments go to the same page. This makes it easier to read and easier for me to fix if it goes wrong.

My Updates below

 

Updates, November 2008 Thank you Wipers for this info.

The fee system has changed. At the moment you pay nothing when you clear in and $100BD when you clear out. You will have to fill in three sets of forms.

You can now clear into Port Charles and out of Bridgetown and the other way round.

Customs does now sometimes give permission for people to anchor along the coast. Ask when you clear in. If you are anchoring offshore a popular anchorage seems to be at Gibbs about 13 degrees 14 minutes on our sketch chart on page 202 in the little bay when you get clear of the reefs and rocks off Speightstown.

It is advisable to give advance notice to Port St. Charles when you need to clear out.

The Barbados Yacht Club have a water buoy and are quite good about allowing members of other yacht clubs to use it occasionally.

The coastguard have gone from their old station and this dock is now controlled by international transport whose office is right opposite this dock on the other side of the harbor. This can be useful for loading or alongside repair, though long term stays will not be allowed.
