When you live on an island as small as Water Island getting even the most basic supplies becomes a challenge. Pirate's Ridge is the one "convenience" store on the island. While they do have a pizza night every Friday, if you're looking for a half gallon of milk, you'll need to take a boat over to St. Thomas. According to our bike tour guides, they mostly stock canned goods.
I do love the explanation of their hours (11-7) however:
Open most days about 11 or 12. Occasionally as early as 9, and sometimes as late as 1 or 2. We close about 6:30 or 7. Occasionally about 4 or 5, and sometimes as late as midnight, or later. On some days we're not here at all, but lately we've been here alot, unless we're not.
that explanation rocks!
ReplyDeleteI think it encapsulates the concept of "island time" perfectly.
