Thanks for taking us on a tour of St. Thomas. We have been there several times and like to call that open air bus Mr. Toads Wild Ride.

Thanks so much for the tour, Moose. I have never been there, so it was fun to see. Please do more tours when your sailing adventure begins.

Hey, dear friend! What a lovely ride through St. Thomas, thank you for sharing your adventures. I like that safari bus and the cafe. Seems like accessible and pleasant without costing an arm and a leg. A very beautiful island and I loved our tour with music. You put some sunshine into my day today. BTW that blue and turquoise t-shirt really suits you well and make your blue eyes stand out dear friend! 😎🌞🤩💙🙏

Glad you enjoyed it You are always so kind. The shirts are expensive shirts to help with the extreme heat and sweating, some kind of wicking fabric but seems to help.

Hi Moose! I hope your health continues to improve. Having never been to the Caribbean, riding with you on the Safari dispelled a few misconceptions I had about what many people describe as "paradise" locations. Certainly, I saw a tremendous display of natural beauty on the trip, but I also saw some things that reminded me of Eastern Kentucky.

Thanks Moose I came across your channel last night n subbed. The rude comments on a couple videos made it more interesting so I’m following along to see more of your boat work. About the same age I have a 63 airstream and seem to have a lot in common. Hope it’s ok to follow along. Cheers

4:38 The strip mall is made of shipping containers. My father was a welder and welded all those containers together in 1991/1992 for Chris Rosenberg (the property owner at the time). Shipping containers are in abundance there because the islands export very little (Cruzan rum mostly) but import heavily, making the containers cheap to acquire vs shipping them elsewhere empty.

Thanks for the tour! We love St Thomas. We found the Cost U Less store had much better prices on food than the other stores. It’s like Sam’s Club or Costco without the membership .

I haven't been to VI since 2016 with my grandfather on his sailboat and I'm planning a trip for June, I'm so happy I found this video because this is how we got around! Do you know if there's any good charters over there? Id love to do a day cruise on a small sail boat!

@MooseHenderson1 3 ай бұрын

There are tons of charters but I am not personally aware of any of the folks offering such work, have a blast.

@wisconsineaglesfan7925 3 ай бұрын

To hitch hike in St Thomas, you do not use a thumb. You extend your arm at a about a 45º angle and point your index finger towards the ground. The more casual you are, the more likely to get a ride.

I wonder why they drive on the left since St. Thomas is a US territory. It was a Danish colony but the Danes also drive on the right side of the road.

@MooseHenderson1 3 ай бұрын

Not sure why

@debyrah 3 ай бұрын

What are the prices on the island like for basic necessities?

@MooseHenderson1 3 ай бұрын

Near the boat, food is more than double stateside, at the town grocery stores, prices are about 40 percent higher than stateside except for some fruit. Some fruit are double to 4x, grapes are 10-15 per bag, outrageous. Gas is about 4.80 per gallon for unleaded

I would never get accustomed to driving down the wrong side of the road. For that reason alone, I shall remain here in "Hicksville" USA for the rest of my days. Plus, I dont like spiders.

The spiders there are not bad, it is the flying cockroaches that are nasty. 😉
