Did We Find A Sailing Paradise In The Virgin Islands? [Ep. 27]

We finally find what we have been looking for as we sail the blue waters around St. Croix in the Virgin Islands. We are sending it (life is fun) to the max!

Our last hurrah in STX before we make the long passage south and leave our friends for hurricane season in Grenada.

To get there we sail from St. Thomas in a Sahara dust storm. With heavy winds, we sail with the genoa only and keep the mainsail in its stack pack to keep red dust from getting it dirty. We also check out a fort and take some cool video shots of Fredriksted and the pier with the DJI Mavic Pro drone.

We spent time exploring the island by car (van life style road trip rental car off-roading) to get the view from the top. We fully immerse ourselves in the rain forest from its highest peak of 1160 ft and in the sea 100 feet below the water scuba diving. Your standard travel vlog youtube channel type stuff.

Before we left we wanted to go for one last sail with some of the great people we met. We headed out for a sunset and evening sail to the south side of St. Croix with our friends Jake and David (Blog: https://www.texastoochile.blogspot.com Youtube : dww0013) We had a blast, and got a little funny, ending the night sailing under the blue spreader lights and anchoring in the dark.

Well, what are you waiting for, come explore the crystal clear blue waters, palm trees, beach bars, sailboats, and come sail away with and have fun with us on our tiny home in this satisfying video while we live the digital nomad lifestyle.

Who are we?

We are Kate and Curtis aboard our boat Sweet Ruca. We are kind of like Sailing la Vagabonde, except we have a sailing dog named Roxy instead of a kid, and a monohull instead of a catamaran.

Come sailing around the world with us and learn how to sail as you go! Other sailing channels we like are Uma, Soulianis, Zatara, Nahoa, Delos, and Doodles (without the sexy Instagram models).

For more satisfying video subscribe to our channel. We think we have some relaxing and fun and sometimes asmr videos of our sailing and travel that we want to share with you.
