For yachts thinking of visiting the US Virgin islands: there is a new customs office in Red Hook Bay/ American harbour replacing the Cruz Bay office that was badly trashed by the hurricane and is no more. Also the only customs office in St Croix is at the airport, a $50 taxi ride away, (the Christiansted office not being staffed until things get back to normal apparently)

Also we have been told we don’t need to “check out” of the US to visit the BVIs, we just need to check out of of the BVIs... very odd, but the customs officer was insistent!
