Good was the boat itself and rooms, and food.
Bad was getting to the boat (had to wade to dinghy, then dinghy to boat --
if the boat people hadn't brought us from the resort where we stayed, there
is no way we could have found the anchorage.)

Bad was the fact that a projected hurricane threatened, so we had to cut
short two days of diving.  We left the island, as there was nothing else
much to do on Provo, but others were left there not knowing what conditions
would be.  No refund for the unused days, of course.

Diving was nice, especially at French Cay, but not spectacular.
