Hi everyone

This maybe alittle late, but, if you are on STJ Saturday Feb 28th and are staying in the Coral Bay area, remember if you are leaving that day to allow extra drive time to Cruz Bay as it is the "8 Tuff Miles" run/walk, Cruz Bay to Coral Bay via Centerline Road, and the traffic does get stopped by the police to allow the runners to pass - up to 800 of them.

Also if you are staying on the Northshore and need to catch a ferry back to STT to catch a flight you will have a hard time getting through town on foot (taxi's won't be able to get through until after the race starts) early on.

Last year I saw many, many frustrated tourists all trying to get to Cruz Bay to catch the ferry to STT and I knew they would miss it.

Just something to keep in mind.

Pia,
While I won't be there at the time - just had to say that's very nice of you to warn people about this!
Your good deed for the day!
