A Little Island Update
Good Morning, Good Morning and Happy Fri-YAY to you all! It’s been a bit since I gave you a bit of an on the ground re-cap of what’s going on here on island. And, Teddy and I have happily had family and friends visiting over the past few weeks so we have actually gotten out away from our desks and the boat work to ENJOY St. John a bit! It’s been amazing and there has been a lot going on this month. So kick back with your cup of joe while I catch you up a bit on some snippets of island life.

Jost Van Dyke Ferry Services to Begin on March 4
Good Morning, Good Morning! I received a ‘love note” from Inter Island Boat Services on Valentine’s Day morning that said we can expect to hop on a ferry to Jost beginning on March 4! In the original post about the ferry services, the boat company that operates daily between Cruz Bay and Crown Bay had hoped to get this international service up and running by February 15. Well, I warned you about the island time…But, they have officially announced a March 4 start date for service between Cruz Bay, Red Hook and Jost Van Dyke!
Valentine’s Day: What Does “Love City” Mean to You?
Happy Valentine’s Day! A day for lovers and friends and significant others and the singles. Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to just be for those who are hopelessly in love. It can simply be a day of spreading love to all, telling someone what they mean to you, making a difference in the life of a child, taking your pup for an extra long walk or taking yourself for a spa and date day. And, like Valentine’s Day, and love in general, the LOVE in “Love City” takes on many special meanings for many people all over the world. In the spirit of the day, I thought today might be a good time to reflect a bit on where the name came from and what Love City really means….
