Soggy Dollar online

There's a site I've been going to over the last few months anytime I've needed a 'hit' of the BVIs. The Soggy Dollar beach bar and Sandcastle Hotel on Jost Van Dyke is one of those places I have to visit on each trip. It just wouldn't be a trip to the BVIs without going there and neighbouring Foxy's.
A little background: the SD's claim to fame is their Painkiller - an addictive drink made from dark rum, cream of coconut, pineapple and orange Juice, topped with fresh grated Grenadian nutmeg. Factoid #2: The Soggy Dollar name comes from the fact that they don't have a dock so people need to swim ashore from their boats and pay for their drinks with wet currency.
I really like what they've done with their website -- including a huge live camera shot that really gives people a sense of the place. Their site is beautifully designed with a super-clear navigation. Good job!
