his wife, Sharon Rose, owners and operators of the "Member's Only" MaxiTaxi service.  I cannot imagine our stay in Trinidad without them...  Our deepest thanks are extended to them for their support  of the cruising community in Trinidad.  We cannot say enough good things about them.  They have contributed greatly to everyone's enjoyment of Trinidad.  We are thankful for the reasonably priced services they provide and especially for the free transportation to Price Smart and other selected sites and for the effort, at no charge, to coordinate and  broker all of our tickets to Carnival events - particularly after supplying countless hours of advice to us and other cruisers on Carnival events in Trinidad.  In 2002, Jesse James was awarded the Seven Seas Cruising Association (SSCA) Camaraderie Award for compasionate services on behalf of the Trinidad sailing community - an award well merited.  For any yachts visiting Trinidad, you will have no trouble contacting Jesse since he is such an integral part of this community.  </div> <bR> <div> <B>Phone:  (868) 633--3486</B></div> <div> <B>   Cell: (868) 757-0139</B></div> <div> <B>E-Mail: </B><A HREF="mailto:
