For clearing in, you can anchor for three hours just in the left-hand side of St. Cruz Bay.
G Gas can be filled in Cruz Bay. The business has a name (Tropical Gas, maybe) but everyone knows it as Elvis’. Easiest to ask for directions to Candy’s BBQ, her husband Elvis fills propane M-S 9-5 just beside the restaurant. It’s about a 10 min walk from the docks. (And Candy has the BEST BBQ on the island! One plate will fill 2 people.)
