I tuck the little baggy in my suit, under my rash guard. If your valuables won't fit into a small ziplock then you have too much stuff.

I leave my beach bag and maybe a small cooler, in the sand, out in the open by the water line. I leave the cheep looking (simple canvas) bag open, showing only a book, reading glasses, sunblock, wax.
Worst thing you can do is leave your stuff in the shade. Towels laid on the sand are true give away that you're a tourist.

I also have a ball cap and sungless that I use in water. I tuck them up the back of the rash guard while swimming, snrokling or boarding.

water proof cameras are great.

Don't leave anything in your car. Keep the windows up or you'll be full of moscitos when you return. I normally lock. Some people tell you not to lock, because you don't want to "liable for a broken window". I think that's BS.

Don't leave your jewelry/laptop in the car. For that matter, don't leave it a your condo/rental house, unless it comes with safe or "lockup-closet".]]> blu4u Virgin IslandsTue, 21 May 2013 13:56:49 -0400 http://www.vinow.com/wwwtalk/read.php?4,119656,119656#msg-119656 Need a house sitter late July-early Aug?

. . . The only problem I have is it has to be re posted each time. If we can have local spot so it could be updated on a regular bases that would be great. . .

Why reinvent the wheel?

Most everyone that travels these days has a smart phone that they can use to find local information. If you're coming to the USVI, then just load an app that provides the information you may need. There is an official smartphone app for the Virgin Islands, which is kept updated by:
