TAKING OVER THE WILLY T! - NORMAN ISLAND WELCOMES THE HILLBILLY FLOTILLA - AQUILA YACHTS

[@edlooney9625]

I am so glad that one bad experience did not keep you from where your heart is. The Virgin Islands are magical.

[@thewanderinghillbilly]

Thank you! I agree

[@LJ-jq8og]

Alan 💪❤ "chopped" it beautifully again ! The BVI needs to adopt you as their "honorary ambassador..."

[@thewanderinghillbilly]

Yes they do!

[@jayklamon7220]

And those smiles continue! So happy to see you having a great time, so well deserved!!

[@thewanderinghillbilly]

Thank you so much!!

[@StaceyProctor-j1g]

Stacey from Axtell, TX here...We've been watching your videos for years and finally have our first trip on the books for June 2025. I love the slow, quiet, relaxing vibe you included at the beginning of this video. It's great to see the balance of relaxation and adventure you can enjoy on a boat in the BVIs. ❤ Looking forward to the next leg of the Hillbilly flotilla!

[@robocopct1171]

Love the Willie T. Did Tortola 2021 and spent the day in the harbor next to Willie T. Awesome and can't wait to get back

[@Jamworks1]

Always brilliant! Thank you

[@thewanderinghillbilly]

Appreciate it!

[@johntyler3645]

What a fun video, makes me want to go back. Thanks

[@thewanderinghillbilly]

Thanks for watching!

[@TVK830]

Simply marvelous!

[@thewanderinghillbilly]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@bobcorrin4037]

Wearing my Wily T ball cap as I watch this (and having a beverage). Visited the older T years ago on the White Squall 2 and had a Blast! I thing you guys Rocked it. Cheers

[@thewanderinghillbilly]

Thanks!

[@brianbradley6953]

So jealous! We were busy with harvest or we could have made it! No more Floatilla's in October 😮

[@davidbenji1]

Great video! Great music! Great editing!

[@thewanderinghillbilly]

Thanks so much!

[@kurtoheim6183]

Glad you are back in the BVI with friends, family and flotilla. Perhaps one day we will bring friends, hire a captain and then discover the joy and peace ourselves.

[@thewanderinghillbilly]

I hope you do!!! Thanks for watching.

[@erickramer9291]

Great to see you back enjoying life! Eric

[@thewanderinghillbilly]

More to come!

[@kimb6962]

I love this sooo much! 😆

[@thewanderinghillbilly]

Thanks

[@GrahamSwan-yi5gw]

Looks like awesome fun - Go Hillbilly!!!!

[@thewanderinghillbilly]

It was!

[@thewanderinghillbilly]

All kinds of fun!

[@lukegolfer2261]

Another fantastic adventure. Wish I could go today!

[@thewanderinghillbilly]

You and me both!

[@scottutegaard7076]

fun see you ine future

[@thewanderinghillbilly]

See you there!

[@thomashughes8960]

So want to be back in the BVI!

[@Nezzer57]

More great content, Alan. You should do this for a living some day... 😆 Ronnie is a great foil for you. The legend! 😂

[@thewanderinghillbilly]

Great idea! Ha. Ronnie is a legend….in his own mind!!!

[@captainirv3542]

We're SO HAPPY to see you boating again! How ironic, when I used to sail BVIs, moorings were free and all were in good condition. Nowadays, you have to pay and they are compromised...

[@thewanderinghillbilly]

Sad but indeed true. It’s an extremely popular place.

[@scottfuller6063]

So nice to have you back where you belong! New boat soon? Hope so.

[@thewanderinghillbilly]

Time will tell!

[@dexterbailey5406]

Ah Norman... So much fun we named our Frenchie after the island! But did you go to the caves too?

[@thewanderinghillbilly]

Not this time… but usually do. Thanks for watching.

[@micheandmikey]

Hiking around Norman Island.....just 15 days after I spent 6 hours in the Emergency Room on my 50th birthday with heart complications to the jab...you know, Pfizer. I want to get back there and hike that island without breaking into a sweat. I have been active my entire life, soccer, skiing, biking, swimming, you name it, but that hike was the first after that scare and I didn't know if I was going to make it back to The Big Boy (sailing yacht). I've been fine since the end of 2022, but damn, I want that hike back. Beautiful views from every bit of that hike! This one touches me differently Alan, thank you. For the record, after my heart PVC's went away I jumped off the Willy T's multiple times.

[@thewanderinghillbilly]

So glad to hear you’re doing better! Can’t wait to see you there one day friend.

[@LJ-jq8og]

Can I apply to cover Ronnie's position when he goes on vacation ? 😊 I am also excellent at couch sitting !

[@thewanderinghillbilly]

Yes you can! It’s a splendid gig!

[@LJ-jq8og]

@@thewanderinghillbilly 😊

[@MS-co3pu]

And Yhat Doesn’t Suck. So very Happy for you to Enjoy again!!!! Have a Blessed Christmas and Healthy Year. How can I buy your shirt you have on? Thanks!!!

Thewanderinghillbilly.com. Thanks for watching

[@dj2000lbs]

It's not crowded at all

[@haywoodjablowme2972]

what kind of dude holds his nose when he jumps

[@whyallthefuss201]

Old ones

[@LJ-jq8og]

Me !

[@edlooney9625]

The kind that doesn't like the burn of salt water in his sinuses?

[@LJ-jq8og]

Someone who has jumped before and had water go up their nose... Now, back to your mother's basement son.

[@johnhart4105]

Anybody know where the old Willy T sunken wreck is?

[@thewanderinghillbilly]

Don’t know! Was wondering the same.

[@brienw8800]

I stayed on that ball 111, last week, it was solid but the ball needs to be repaired. There are a bunch of balls near there that need repair

[@thewanderinghillbilly]

A lot of balls at Norman need some tending. Agreed.

[@nancycurtis3964]

It is tough to find anything to complain about in the BVI.

[@thewanderinghillbilly]

Indeed.

[@kerney3043]

It's been a few years, but I thougt you were supposed to jump au natural at Willy T's. Maybe it's a night thing....

[@thewanderinghillbilly]

Not when there are kids there! Lol.

[@tmhudg]

Nice video. We love the Willy T! Okay, I hate to be "That Guy" but the cleat hitch at 1:11 was an abomination. No idea who tied it of course but that image is like nails on a chalkboard to any self-respecting sailor. Get to the point in seamanship where you would NEVER include that in a montage of boating images please.

[@colinbrown4482]

i do not mean to sound negative, but i do hope all your guests kept a close eye on their bar tabs at Willy Ts unfortunately they are getting quite a reputation for all the wrong reasons i have been done twice, if they think you are there for the taking, they will have you, big time total scum the only reason that i will never go back, is because i would end up in jail for putting at least one or two staff in hospital i hate thieves

[@thewanderinghillbilly]

Yikes. Thanks for the warning.
