I was raised and still live in stt and stj. I’m very pleased with the video and I feel like you did well at capturing it’s natural beauty and culture. Being here for so long, you tend to become desensitized to its beauty. I appreciate the frequent reminders that I am truly blessed to live in such a place as the USVI. Thank you and please come again.

Owned a timeshare there since 2009, been there other many other times as well, love the Island. Haven’t been on Island since ‘17 but heading back in ‘23. This video really brought back some good memories, thanks 😎

It has been 43 years since I have been to St.Thomas, brought back memories.. Love to visit again one day. Enjoyed watching

[@brenlh6484]

Brewer's Bay used to be my daily swim spot. It's maintained by the University of the US Virgin Islands. But there are plenty other good snorkeling spots. I know I lived on St Thomas for 2 years and St Croix for another year and a half.

[@georgiagonzales3769]

I lived on St Thomas for more than 30 years. I love the Mofoli hotel. Dinner at night is spectacular and I would hang out at the pool in the day time and have lunch. Also lived on that side of the island and also spent a lot of time at Brewers Bay. You made a very nice video ❤️ I also lived on St John for awhile. Managed Cafe Roma and worked at Caneel Bay hotel. Coki Point is now over run, but still beautiful. Black Beard's Castle was a pool hang out to. Good lunch. It's crazy to see Main St empty. Used to be so busy, you could hardly walk or drive through it. Really sad to see everything so empty. Covid has really slowed things down. 😔 Next time try to go into French Town. Hook Line and Sinker is a great restaurant. Teddy Lutes is the owner... he and his wife are Super people 🥰

[@xTK421x]

@Georgia Gonzales Wait, Hook Line and Sinker was it the quarter deck years ago? If, yes, my aunt and uncle owned that shop in the 1970's. I basically lived there.....wait we did live there, on a Pearson for a time. Next to Avery's Boat House in FT. My mom and dad met there. Dick gave my dad his first construction loan to build a house for the Miles's. My parents started our family there.

[@samcharlesworth2218]

dude that is hilarious we are going on a cruise same month same place, what day is yours?

[@yuryskrip5500]

I used to be coming there several times a year when I lived on a boat. For the most part I stayed at the island of Culebra, but once in a while I would come to St. Thomas.

[@xTK421x]

Did you know Dick Avery? He trolled up to Main and back in a boat I helped him and Morgan build. If you ever made port (1950 ish to 1990 ish) at the S.T.Y.C. you probably knew or met him. He owned Avery's boat yard in French Town.

[@brenlh6484]

Another cool thing is there are so many things growing wild there that are edible and absolutely delicious... OMG the grafted mangos Yummy !! Oh and of course those big avocados. I could eat one of those fresh avocados everyday for breakfast. Just one will feel me up. Another super interesting plant is the Merique tree. They call it the tree of life. It has every vitamin in the world in it. A few tiny leaves off the tree chew em up suck the juice out then spit them out. No coffee needed for that day.

[@Chilopoda81]

We've both lived in Kona. Do you agree with me that the Caribbean is more fun (and the water is so much more inviting)? It's also much less remote.

[@xTK421x]

Defiantly. I was in the US Navy for 13 years and I have yet to see a place near as beautiful as USVI(respect). With as a robust history full of treachery, strife, wealth, debauchery, chaos, but most of all peace, non can be found, not one. I can find peace in every grain of sand. As she has no memory, peace reigns upon her. Blood stained or not, my home calls me back.

[@xTK421x]

As a native West Indian, born in Charlotte Amalia and grown just so, I TOTALLY agree!! I was in the US Navy attached to Pacific Command Destroyer Group 5. We weighed anchor in Oahu five times while I was there: Hawaii is lovely, but it does not hold the history, nor the mystery nor the romance of the Caribbean. It's in the wind, Here there be dragons!!

Of all the fishermen that I talked to, they all said Baracudas don't attack people. If you have fish or lobster, they may go after that. I was out swimming in Brewers Bay, and I saw something outta the corner of my eye ... a 4 foot barracuda. I was told by the fisherman that Barracuda is very curious. At the time, I threw my arms out to make myself look bigger (a prey response to scare the attacking animal) Threw my arms out, and it scared him away. TaDa!!

I was there in 1718, just before they keelhauled and beheaded my Captain. The scourge of the Caribe! Avenging his Queen, the uniting Matriarch of a once great land, with unparalleled ferocity! No quarter received nor given. We called him Captain where others would not. Either way his presence is a thorn to all who cross his path. One governor, one fleet, one kingdom, and one world trembled at the name Blackbeard and feared his ire and his crew!
