re: Hurricane Maria - Visiting the Outer Banks before Moving OTS

I have several friends who live in Virgin Gorda & Peter Island who aren't rebuilding or returning. The economy is looking like it is shot to hell as most of the global banks, accounting firms, jewelry companies, & international law firms with offices in Tortola aren't returning and are permanently relocating their operations and employees to places like London, Hong Kong, Cayman Islands, St. Croix, St. Kitts, or Panama.
The cruise ships aren't returning anytime soon (min. 2 to 3 years) to Tortola, St. John, or St. Maarten. All of the cruise ship companies have decided to port elsewhere which is crippling to some of these islands.
I see a large migration of the local population to other islands or countries as well because they won't be able to sustain themselves on some of these islands.

Tortola and St. John don't berth cruise ships.

Cruise ships have never ported at St. John. They dock at St. Thomas which is the most frequented cruise ship port in the world. They'll be back there and probably a whole lot sooner than you stated.
