Off-topic, but if you are young and not tied down, do as much of this stuff as possible, because when you're old and have a ton responsibilities you'll regret the times you didn't take advantage of opportunities for adventure.

Is this available for the upcoming winter? Very interested!

A bit travlled out but this sounds amazing.
Might have to take you up on it at some point

was there as many girls as advertised? Did you get any? Hot girls?
Nice places to hang out etc??
I am very interested in this.

I could write up a TR but I don't think the Marketplace is the right forum. If people really cared I could start an OOT thread or something, but honestly, while it has been an adventure and a great experience, it's pretty much what you'd expect... lots of time at the beach, swimming and snorkeling, and entirely too much drinking.

that and de captain covered most of what it's like living in St. Thomas in his Sailing around the world thread.

For the first 3 months I had a roommate (another 2p2'er). We went out a ton, and I met a few girls. Nothing to write home about ending up happening, so I kinda failed in that regard, but there are plenty of girls here if you're persistent. It's probably just like anywhere: if you've got game, you'll be fine.

After he left I've been a bit of a hermit, just beaching it during the day and grinding at night so I haven't gotten out a ton lately. The most success I had was when girls from home or college came and visited.

I did have a volunteer job working on a sailboat for a while, so if that's something you're interested in it's very possible here. The plan was to sail to Italy with him and his crew but it ended up falling through when he went broke and wasn't able to leave while I was still here.

There are several pretty good bars a short dinghy ride away. St. Thomas isn't known for its nightlife but it's not bad at all. And the best bar on the island is about 100 feet away at the end of the dock (just got back from there now actually, watching the fireworks from St. John with some nice neighbors).

I don't know if this boat is or will be available, but if you get the chance, I would snatch it up ASAP. You do have to be the right type of person, though. There's no AC, no hot water, etc. I love it here, just a forewarning to people who are really particular about such things.

I would love to read a trip report about your 6months there. So your saying you didn't bang handfuls of tourists? Wtf! How did the pokers work out while you were down there?

kinda jealous.... pm if ever available again... like to maybe work somin out

Wow, i wish I wasnt tied down. This is totally something I would love to do. *sigh* Better snatch this quick if no one has taken it..

How are there no pics?

Uh.. it doesn't look like this is for sale guys...

Everyone should re-read this and let it soak in.

[x] Saturated

Easily one of the sickest reads/posts I've come across on the net...
Captain you are the man-Keyser savage of you for having done it so nice!!

Bump. This is available again. Possibly as early as Oct 15th. Minimum 3 mos. possibly 8 mos..

Pics?

pm'ed you

damn no TR from keyser wtf!

1. arrived in USVI
2. started drinking
3. ????
4. left 6 months later

Actually I would like to write something up but I don't even know where to start.

Here's some more pics. One of you guys better jump on this before I change my current plans and go back.

I'm still really bummed I didn't jump on this as forcefully as I could have last go-round, and it's not an option for me now. Don't make the same mistake I did, people. You're young, live your lives and have fun. Have adventures! Meet interesting people! In short:

lol 22 years old.

ohhh man, im very jealous, i sooo want to do this, but id have to convince my girlfriend to take 3 months off of work and find someone to sublet our apartment. :-( damn responsibilities

Any chance your boat will be for rent again? We are having a hard time with finding rentals and we are married 30 year olds that don't mind not leaving the slip. We want to buy a boat but also would like to try it out first to make sure it works for us and are mostly interested in day sailing if we were to buy a boat but to spend most of our time in the slip. If yours won't be available for rent again..any suggestions on where to find more people who would rent us a boat to try our new life out would be great! Thanks for your help!

I assume your grunching? The boat is available now.

Sorry I am ******ed I didn't read the whole thread...
