Unknown said...: I lived on Gallows Point with my brother Chris Nye and his girlfriend Bonnie Parent back in April /May of '74. I either lived in one of the cottages, or, on a fairly good sized ketch by the name of the West Wind (maybe?) that was anchored in Cruz bay. Chris was looking after it I think. I had been working in the engine room of a SeaLand container ship that put into San Juan PR, and got off to go and spend that time with my big Bro on St. John. It was a time I'll never forget...; May 20, 2015

St Thomas - St John, U.S. Virgin Islands ~ Remembering All-Ah-Wee

Recalling the many people in the 70's and 80's, up to the mid - 90's who gave Red Hook and The East End the character it had (including some from downtown and St. John).

Why "mid-90's" ? Hurricane Marilyn in 1995 changed our work and play patterns, our lives and energies. As one person expressed it, Hurricane Hugo in '89 was an adventure; Marilyn was a royal P-I-T-A.

Some long time island residents left after '95, plus rebuilding and development, forever changed the simplicity and laid back character of Red Hook we reveled and thrived in.

Many though are still sailin', lymin', workin', drinkin' and dancing on as we speak . . . in St Thomas-St John-BVI's, down island or wherever they may be.
