Jost Die Hard

[Puddlejumper]

I went to Foxies, and The Soggy Dollar Bar, on Jost last weekend with a group from work. After Jost we went to the Willie T. Well we had a very large time. I was feeling no pain and lost count of the Painkillers. Monday? Well Monday was not a good workday last week, but I did it anyway. A few that went to Jost called in sick. A little 'under' the weather.

For those of you who have been to White Bay, you know it is one of the most beautiful places on this planet. I really do believe it, so much so I am going back Memorial Day.

Foxies boat dock.


Not very crowded on Sunday AM when we arrived. We had the whole place to ourselves.




We left Foxies after a couple of pain relievers and headed for Soper's Hole to pick up part of our group. Then went straight back to Jost for White Bay. This was our mode of transportation.


Not a bad beach. The Soggy Dollar Bar is right on this beach to the right in this pic. There are chairs and hammocks provided.


Sampled the Chicken Roti. I highly recommend it if you haven't had it. Very good eats.


The view from The Soggy Dollar.


NO pain.


We had to knock off the PK's, so we switched to this.


We left Jost about 4:30 and headed for the Willie T. An interesting place. I like the idea of a floating restaurant bar. Hmmm.


As the sun started to set on the Willie T and Norman Island, we made way to Cruz Bay.


That was my day as tourist. Monday I return hoping to be a regular.

Some have asked what is so special about Jost Van Dyke. I can't explain it. It is just different. Different in a good way. The USVI still has the most numerous beaches, a great National Park, and loads of things to see and do. Just try Jost if you haven't, you will not be disappointed.

How fun! It's nice to hear that you take advantage of where you are and do something touristy for yourself now and then!

You ought to send that picture of the Carib to Carib for adverstising! It's really awesome! Would make a great poster!

P.S. That Roti looks really yummy! Soggy Dollar, you say?

Ditto what CG said!!!

White Bay is always the best day of my trip!!!

Cali Girl, yes the Roti was from the Soggy Dollar. It is very good. OK, I repeat myself.

ILuvstjohn, the boss paid for this 'company' outing. No captain. The boat was rented in Red Hook at See & Ski powerboat rentals.

Photos turn pretty good after a few pain killers.

so how did you handle the customs thing? It sounds like you got back to STJ late. Did you not have to check back in? I love going to BVI especially Jost, but I hate having to check in when we get there and then having to get back to STJ before 5:30 when customs closes. I wish they had a day pass or something that you could get in advance.

Thanks for the post and pics! We'll be on JVD one week from Saturday. I can't wait!
