Cruz Bay Dock and the Old Spice Cam
Posted: Mon Jun 08, 2009 7:57 pm
I knew Cruz Bay has always had a dock. Coral Bay (on the other end of the island) was the preferred entry point when sail was the method of travel since it turns out the prevailing trade winds made entry into Coral Bay easier. But when power boats came into service, Cruz Bay became more popular … it is after all the closest point to St. Thomas. I am sure you all know that you can check on the status of the Cruz Bay Dock anytime through the Spice Cam. What I have recently discovered is that the Spice Cam isn’t a recent invention. As you can see below, they have slightly changed the angle of the camera (looks like it is pointing a little more to the left) and the pier is more substantial but it still shows the same basic view that it showed 70 years ago. It won’t be long till we are walking down that dock to get our first welcome drink! Hopefully we will have better transportation than that donkey waiting for those visitors.
