I'd like to speak for all of us here, and point out that if you're in the VI with your girlfriend, lolling on the beach and sipping underage Mai-tais, then we no longer WANT to speak to you anymore!!

You dog! We all hope you get horribly sunburned.

You picked a nice time of year to go...

The winter brown should now be changed to blooms of brilliant color...

A quick afternoon shower to keep things from being too hot...

Where are you staying on the island? Just curious...I lived there for awhile.

Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy!

I saw the craziest thing there...a three car pile up in the Kmart parking lot...one of them was even flipped...still don't know how the locals managed to do that one.

The biggest down side to St. Croix...no fencing!

About 6-7 years ago there was talk from someone at UVI about getting a collegiate team started. They were questioning RSF about what was involved. Given the travel costs for competitions I'm not surprised nothing came from it. Somewhat surprised that a recreational club didn't result.

St. Thomas has fencing. That, I am guessing, was probably what came out of the talking you are referring to.

When ferries are running....$45 round trip fee to get from St. Croix to St. Thomas. Otherwise, $100 and something to fly...sometimes you can get a break and fly for around $80.

It is just too cost prohibitive for anyone on St. Croix to travel to the club on St. Thomas for fencing.

Believe me, we looked into every available scenario...even buying a boat...but docking fees are also exhorbitant.

Let's see, Loll on the beach drinking Mai-Tais with my (presumably) under 18 year old girlfriend or fence? I'm gonna have to have another Mai-Tai and get back to you on that...
