Ep 132 Recon to St John USVI with David and the Girls

Wendy's brother David shows up with his daughter Alex and niece Georgia for a week in the islands, and a great time was had by all. The islands of the USVI are often overshadowed by the brilliance and honestly superior cruising grounds of the British Virgin Islands, but over the last two seasons the officials of the BVI have seemed intent on killing the tourism industry there. As a result, almost every charter company has created a USVI affiliate in order to stay alive. And the USVI has so much to offer. Culturally, it's very similar to the BVI, largely populated by extended relatives of the same families, and there are a ton of nooks and crannies to explore. The vibe is different, especially on St John, due to overall management by the U.S. Park Service. This means that there is much less commercial resort activity there. sailing talisman, sailing, sailing youtube, boating, top sailing, oyster yachts, oyster sailboats, oyster 485, offshore, bluewater, blue water, sailing vlog, sailing vblog, sailing channels, sailing videos, cruising, monohull, USVI, Saint John, St John
