I suggest contacting the daily charter companies out of St Thomas and offering a reward. These guys are out and about the BVI and USVI all day everyday . Nauti Nymph, Lion in The Sun are two. Another is Captain Nate 340-244-2497. Those guys would jump at a chance for a reward and cover the islands daily.
Good Luck !

It's like scum targets boats??

that bad boy is long gone and stripped. VI thieves work quick.
My friend has his 250 etch stolen off the back of his boat on the trailer next to the fire station in coral bay a few years back. no one saw a thing.

not quite, im guessing you haven't been to the VI. if you have it mush have been st Thomas or st Croix. There are thieves there just as there are thieves everywhere.

Rich. I will keep an eye out. I arrived at Saba Rock with Team PREDATOR last night and will be throughout the islands all this week. I will keep an eye out for it. Will let others with boats here know as well. We are running down to Peter Island for lunch today so will be watching.
Good luck,
Bob

Glad to hear it was recovered and in good shape. Someone just wanted a nice ride to St Thomas instead of taking the ferry I guess. I left the keys in my boat last night before I knew about this. Hid them well tonight. :)

That`s not good news, hope you find but chances are slim.

Coral Bay is not exactally the slums, but I wouldn`t mind a drink at skinny leggs:drink:

Have you ever been to the BVI's, or the USVI's????

I have never encountered any "hate" in either chain....(except from a few visiting Palestinians). They are some of the most beautiful islands on earth. Of course if you want "safety" stay at home in the South Bronx....or Compton.....where the Crips and Bloods really do hate us.

Rich, you are absolutely right. The people here that I have met have been great. Everyone wants to help and I have never felt unsafe here. This is the absolute best boating in the world as far as I am concerned. Here is a pic taken from Peter Island where you will soon get some r & r. Enjoy.

You stand a better chance at getting shot in the good old usa than you do on any island !!!! Will be in the BVI's on the 10th and can't wait. Going to try that other kind of boating for 9 days :drink: :drink:

sixmassive 02-24-2011 07:39 PM

there is a song my friend wrote about such an incident. Its called "Dont leave your dinghy by the dock" It is in reference to the ferries between stt and stj stopping at midnight and not resuming until 6am. sometimes they just need a ride home.
