Had a fabulous time with Captain Scott and his crewmen Randy and Cody! Only 10 adventurous souls rode with Captain Scott to Buck Island for a half day tour on Betty Ann tour boat. Captain Scott was intimately knowledgeable about the area that we visited and Randy and Cody were great guides in the water while snorkeling. We enjoyed seeing parrot fish and barracuda while snorkeling. Brain coral, elk coral among others were viewed among hundreds of species of fish.

We visited turtle beach around the other side of the island. Captain Scott pointed out many nearby nesting sites where sea turtles had laid eggs. These sites are marked to prevent them being disturbed by our visit to this preserve.

Randy accommodated our preference for a virgin rum punch by serving us just punch. If you have a liking for rum punch they serve you up a wonderful option! Thanks Randy for serving our tour mates as they desired!

Cody was very kind and knowledgeable about the area. He has lived here most of his life with a few trips thrown in to the states where he works as a sushi chef in New York.

Michelle was a great facilitator for getting us accommodation for the Buck island tour. Turned out she was native to the area I call home. Had to travel most of the way across the states and islands to meet her. Thanks Michelle, Captain Scott, Randy and Cody for your kindness and support today! Love you!

Don t delay a trip to the island of St. Croix with worries about hurricane damage from last year. The people of the island have been extremely kind and loving to be around. They have been busy in serving visitors and rebuilding their damaged structures. A few piers are still missing around the island. A few structures are yet to be rebuilt. Your visit will bring lasting memories and resources to allow the islanders to continue building and providing wonderful experiences such as mine to you and your families and friends.
