yes, but it was from one of the small cays in the Turks and Caicos. Never in the VI's.

Yes...only once. It was on Kaui, right before a spectacular sunrise. Luckily my husband was with me that particular morning or I would be second guessing that I actually saw it. :shock: ...mia

Thanks, Jorge, for sharing that tidbit!!!
To those of you who have seen the green flash - any magical goings-on following the flash?

Hold a Heineken bottle up to the sunset – guarantee Green Flash.
Just kidding of course.

Never. I would like to though. Does anyone know, do you have to be in a location where you can actually see the sun dip below the horizon line to see the flash? Someplace without any other islands/cays to obstruct your view of the ocean horizon?

I gave up looking for it.While eating at Compass Point, in Nassua, with my back to it, I explained to my wife why everyone was watching the sunset.Everyone's looking for the 'Green Flash'.

She claims that she saw it which I'm reminded of to this day.

That sounds too cool. I wish I would have know about that before, I'll have to watch out for that next time. (no countdown :cry: )
I have the same question as liamsaunt, can you see that elsewhere?

I've watched for it so many times from so many places; maybe if I just quit trying so hard...
