Hi all,

I have a friend who is considering buy buying land on Stacia.

Would appreciate and comments on the pros and cons to this plan.


Thanks, Bob...

St Eustacia, between Saba and St.Kitts.

Ideally I would like to find an ex-pat land owner who is currently living there.

very beautiful spot, looks like ireland but warm. i found the people to be extremely friendly. once, i was on a big walk ashore and a huge swell rolled in from the west with heavy deluge. my friend couldn't come fetch me with the dinghy, it was impossible to land. i ended up sleeping on the porch of a little empty house with 5 dominicans in the same predictament; they were delivering fruit to st martin on a hollowed out 24 foot sailboat! we spent the night fighting over scraps of cardboard to sleep on, drinking rum and laughing alot. the next morning i had to jump off the big pier onto the dinghy as it passed by, still couldn't land it. now whenever i go through dominica i stop to visit these guys.
statia is still real countryside and very charming.
