BOATING CONTENT

So 19 of us (mostly RDP members) put this trip together a year ago.
@BUDMAN @240Hallett @HallettBill @McRib @ductape1000
And all our spouses (and a couple others)of course!!

Our group left a bit early, and spent 4 days in St Thomas USVI, before heading to our ultimate destination with the rest of the group in Tortola BVI. We rented 3 boats through Marine Max in BVI for a week. 2 -484 Aquila power cats, and 1 - 443.

A few pics from St Thomas

Going to be a great trip.
Those boats spin on a dime. Wind and current will be the biggest learning curve.

Amazing adventure!

Just got back from a trip there 2 weeks ago with Marine Max. Jost Van Dyke (soggy dollar’s beach during the day and Foxy’s during the evening), and Cooper Island were my favorite. Definitely beautiful out there, hope you guys have an awesome trip!

Don't forget to hit the Willy T.
Pretty sure it is still at Peter Island.
Hanna will take good care of you at the upstairs bar.
If you need a taxi driver with a van back in St Thomas call Kevin at 340 643 0025.
He is amazing. He would pick up beer, ice, even went grocery shopping and delivered everything to the house for us while we stayed in St Thomas after our charter. Tell him the Dilly Dilly crew sent you.

How are the reefs post Irma? Our 2016 trip was one of the best vacations ever.

Does the ship have its own WiFi, the old ones did?

Looks like a great trip so far.
Not sure my liver could survive a trip like that anymore

I’m loving the pictures for sure.
I know where you’re coming from with the drinking recuperation factor.
It is a little harder when you get older. Got to dig in and carry on. :D

Great Harbor and White Bay are beautiful for sure. We could spend weeks there if not months or years.:D

Don’t know anything about the reefs.

Yes it has WiFi.. but it doesn’t work that great [emoji107]. Great trip for sure.

I see you are at Potters by the Sea. If you buy the Govenor (Old man Potter ) a beer and tell him it is from the Dilly Dilly crew I'm sure he will tell you a story about a group of Pirates that drank him out of beer in 1 afternoon and then steamed off after paying a $ 1000.00 bar tab. :D

Make sure you stop at The Baths and then trek up to Top of the Baths. Both are a must dos.

They are bigger in person too. $ 50.00 lobster dinner at Potters by the Sea and it will feed 2 adults.
