Thank you for viewing this video about my sailing cruise travels aboard the Guiding Light. In this video, we will start exploring Charlotte Amalie, the capital of the US Virgin Islands.
As we begin our sailing cruise, we arrive in Charlotte Amalie and view the governor's house and several old worship sites, like the Frederick Lutheran Church. When we make it to Hotel 1829, we tour the World Caribbean Amber Museum, Blackbeard's castle, and Frenchtown.

My grandparents owned THE only general store that served as supplier for foodstuffs, fabric and general goods that were shipped from Denmark and England to us and my grandparents sold to the new settlers. The store and land is/was where Cardow jewelry store is/was located. My family and I sold the building and accompanying land to the owner of Cardow in 1982, but my sister-in-law was manager for many years before her retirement.
Feed any iguanas you run into with hibiscus flowers. Red ones especially, that's why if you're wearing red they might come up to you and try to chew on your shirt.
My best friend's dad owned the largest dump truck on St. Thomas during the time they were moving the Eastern mountain to off the Western end of the runway extending it. His driver was dropping a load off the end, lost control and jumped out just in time to see it sink into the end of the runway. Time, resources, etc dictated that they just keep going. So when you land there, you are landing on a dump truck. December 1989 through Jan 1990 I helped put the flat roof on the new airport terminal. White guys who hired me got fired for fist fighting the day before I came down to take the job, and I spent three days doing nothing, with the exception of checking the caps that held down the flat roof that had already been done. I think I counted 173 that weren't fastend. I told the guy who came down from Florida to take over the job, but he didn't seem concerned. I have no idea if it passed inspection. My family of 6 including 2 of my grandparents were scheduled on the American Airlines flight that crashed on the island in 1976 running into a Shell gas station at the end of the short runway. My mom had a dream, and rescheduled us for a week earlier with all the work and changes made for dad's 3 stores to run for 2 weeks. We were at Magens when it crashed. A call went out for the 2nd most rare blood, AB-, which my father had. My dad said he wasn't taking time out from his vacation to donate blood. Read the karma my dad died to on that island 14 years after that crash, in this book with links below.
I've probably been on more cruise ships than anyone reading this, yet never been on a cruise. My dad ran a ship chandlery that had a monopoly on selling liquor to the cruise ships in the early '80s, that I used to spend my afternoons after school doing my homework at, that was located at the last building on the Havensite dock (has Senior Frogs painted on its roof). After growing up on the island and starting when I was 17 in late 1986, we used to roam Charlotte Amalie downtown streets at night bar hopping Coconuts, Rosie O'Grady's, The Ritz, Yesterdays, then to the Greenhouse at 10pm for the current live band, when everyone was partying in the islands. Since the bars closed at 2 AM we would go out to steal cars, usually rentals, and race across the island, afterward sometimes stripping them for parts. I've floored it in a brand new 1987 Accord LXi from the Fort all the way to Frenchtown one night easily doing 100mph, which was not unusual to do with stolen cars but sometimes done even with the ones we sort of cared about. One night I was with a few locals and we got pulled over for racing into Frenchtown. The cop went to arrest one of us and he started skipping around the car in a circle repeatedly singing, "Haha you can't catch me!" to the cop. He made it a couple times around the car and we had to bail him out that night. I hold the record for most boats stolen in one night while alone; three - I took them to a birthday party.

You are NOT on American soil! You are on St. Thomian soil of an American Territory. Major difference, sir. My grandparents were amongst the founding families and I had to learn the history as my aunts and godparents were born BEFORE our transfer from Denmark to the United States Navy.
