A lot more frequently would be nice!

good answer, MB!
Just curious, though. How do yawl see the near future?

DELETED

I see St John in 2025 as my kingdom. You are all welcome to visit but you will all have a job. Most will have to cook for me. Some will make drinks while others will capt the boats.

You will all be free guests of my kingdom but every night you will be required to join me in toasting the kingdom with a rum drink with the Anthem of the Kingdom. "May the kingdom and all who inhabit it be blessed with rum, sunshine, blue skies, rum, health, rum, and happiness."


A girl can dream,right?

I will be 65 then so I hope that I see it every day because I am retired there.
I think the National Park will be there so it will still be beautiful and the reefs that are dying will be back to life.

I'm definitely going to need an elevator.

or Kenny to carry things for you. thats right he all ready does

You, know, I can't imagine what it's like for those of you who knew it 20 years, or more, ago. I'm amazed at some of the differences in just the few years since we started going down there. Salt Pond was a long way out there and the road was rough. Once we thought it was really crowded when there were eight other people there. For a tourist to go to Lameshur was really ballsy, not to mention strictly prohibited by your rental car agreement. Soon there will be development at Lameshur. Coral Bay is scheduled for two mega marinas, complete with condos. It will still be a beautiful place to visit, and things will be a lot more convenient for residents and tourists alike, it just won't be the sleepy little frontier outpost that some will remember. Cruz Bay is already getting encroached by more and more cruise ships. One big trio of questions I have is: where are all of those people gonna pee? And where will all of those flushes go? And where will the water come from for all of those flushes?
But on a brighter side STJ Spice will be ever more successful and Ruth and Ron can start franchising and finally get to build the villa that they long for, and deserve!
And me? When I was a kid they told me by the turn of then century that we'd all have hovercrafts. I want my freakin' hovercraft, and I'm gonna do a hovercraft taxi service up to Ram Head.

JT,
Be careful of my ziplines in that hovercraft.
-Ruth

A condo or rental villa on every plot of what is now called "unimproved land" with a bridge from Red Hook to Cruz Bay and every franchise food chain represented to feed the hungry masses.

I don't believe that and I hope you really don't either.
-Ruth

Well maybe not the bridge --- but it sure looks like the empty green land is getting built on at some kind of rapid pace. The 1st time I sailed into Rendezvous Bay there was only 1 house visible and I wasn't with Christopher Columbus but only 30 years ago. Now they have a gate at Ditleff beach and the whole S. side of STJ has construction sites wherever I look from the sea.

STJ is a tiny little island with so much to offer, and with all the lastest publicity, I guess we can't expect it to stay the same. I think at some point it will get so crowded, tourists will decide to go someplace else. I keep saying that when Sirinusa and Grande Bay are filled to the max, where in the H$$l are all those people going to be. My only guess is, on top of each other.

That's what. 17 years from now, hmmmmmmmmmm
