Comments and pictures from guests

You eat out some nights at local restaurants.

We live in the Virgin Islands all year around, and have been sailing down here for 20 years with many local friends: Foxy, Michael Beans,
 Tony Snell, Kareem, Ivan, Sand Man, Seddie, Val, Sammy, John St. John, Debbie, Jason, Prince, Elvit, Baldwin, Jemma, Randy, Wendy, Zeus to name a few. 
The people that have the most fun with us are people that like to get up in the morning, sail, snorkel, and go ashore in the afternoon to explore and socialize.
You may be one of the lucky crew that has Michael Beans, Balvin "The Dancing Machine", Errol, or Elvit decide to get away from the tourists and join us aboard for, lunch, dinner or just to hang with friends!
The Virgin Islands are a fun place with, beautiful soft white beaches, warm clear blue water, friendly locals and lots of music and night life.
Some people say we are the people Jimmy Buffet was talking about we he sang "We are the people your parents warned you about".
