Foxy is turning 75!

The one and only Foxy is having a major birthday!

This Saturday, August 31st, from 1 PM - 6 PM (and probably way beyond!) will be the party that beats all parties! The one and only Foxy is turning 75 and celebrating this weekend by throwing himself - and all who want to attend a - a birthday bash!
If you have ever been to the Virgin Islands (either US or British) most probably you have heard or been to Foxy's Bar on Jost van Dyke.  It is known as THE 'in' spot for boaters to spend New Years Eve (or as it is called in the BVI's 'Old Year's Weekend' - not limited to just one night but a whole weekend of activities).  It is also a great destination if you are out and about on the waters around St John to just stop by and enjoy the music for a while. Livin' is easy @ Foxy's.

As Trip Advisor reports: "This bar is full of character, particularly the character of Foxy himself, who greets visitors with impromtu songs to a calypso beat.

This hammock has your name on it!
If you are anywhere around Jost van Dyke this weekend stop by to say happy birthday.  Regardless of where you are on Saturday, raise a glass (or two) to wish Foxy a happy birthday and many, many more!

Whales spotted around St John -- there she blows!

This humpback whale was spotted just off Jost Van Dyke

The St John Tradewinds reports that lots of whales have been spotted around St John in recent days. The picture above was taken by Wayward Sailor passenger Tarn Hildreth on Tuesday, March 20th. What a sight to see a whale breach! This is the time of year that whales are often sighted in the Virgin Islands waters as they migrate north after spending the winter in the warm waters of the south.
