One last night......at Latitude 18...

The Sunset was lovely on this last night party at the famous Latitude 18 bar in St. Thomas , USVI.
As the sun was setting , the people started to roll in, as well as the band members.
Everybody trying to find a spot to enjoy the night. The Bars were busy, the service was good and the music soon
filled the bar.


Jason Jones
The dancing soon began........ And different musicians, from thru out the years took their turns on stage!


There was a convenient satellite bar set up for the crowds........


As you walked thru the crowds you could hear the story's of good times being told !
In my opinion the only thing missing at this event was the Fiddler!!     
However he was there in spirit and his picture hung in the hall way almost looking over the band!  As well as in the
restroom overlooking the events in there.

It is very sad to have to say good bye to the last true boater open air bar on St. Thomas. One of the first bars I came to when I first arrived on this island. Jason Jones made a comment up on stage as he welcomed everyone he then asked
where have you all been all this time. My answer to that is just life , life gets in the way  but who could miss the last night of such a legend.
Leaving latitude 18 was like a scene out of Woodstock, cars were lined up along the side of the road all the way out past the split in the road and out to the half concrete portion of the road! and people were walking in for one last drink and dance!
So long to the charming little boater bar and not so much of a welcome for condos , big marinas more houses and neon lights..........
stay tuned for some videos of the drive in to latitude 18  and more!

Tropical storm sunday.......

Tropical storm Irene has chosen to pay us a visit! The initial reports had it going about 80 miles south of us, which is pretty close , but it has now began a WNW pattern and looks like it will be pretty much on top of us.....Everybody was in a scramble today to secure boats.


Compass Point Marina

American Yacht Harbor

One thing I noticed, as I did my last min shopping,is that there is not the last min shopping frenzy like in the states.
The shelves were not wiped clean . Plenty of water and junk food! I didn't check the beer isle however !

Off to the house to get comfy with some movies and junk food!
Here's hoping Irene is easy on us!!

Taco Hell in Paradise......

Taco Hell, St. Thomas's version of Taco Bell ! They have been open for a few weeks now,but only at night.
I was very excited to see them open for lunch today!!!

Taco Hell is a nice addition to the Red Hook area of St. Thomas.This was my second
visit to Taco Hell. I have to admit the first visit was just so so. I was a little disappointed in the
size of the taco but figured at $ 2.00 a taco it deserved another try.
My second visit left me plenty satisfied. The menu is simple and consists of
soft or hard tacos
beef, bean or chicken     $2.00
Hellacious tacos   $3.00
Soft tacos have lettuce and cheese,hellacious tacos have beans, sour cream lettuce and tomatoes.
also the addition of hot sauce added was a nice addition.

   I have a feeling this Taco Hell is gonna do a pretty good business!! I also have a feeling I will be visiting myself  often.

What did you do on your lunch break?

The absolute only good thing about my job is i get to walk down to the beach for my lunch break.
I can take a well deserved 30 min. sit in the sand and relax in the beauty that the beach provides.......
Everybody needs a little beach therapy!!!
