St Croix Christmas Boat Parade 2014
St. Croix CRUZAN
Last year I was invited to St. Croix to compete in the 2015 Coconut Cup presented by Freedom city surf & paddle. Definitely the funniest SUP event I have ever done! The event was a great mix of serious racing, community, and caribbean beach partying. It included a 10 mile downwinder, a 4 mile course race, and an extremely fun relay race on the appropriately named Chaos course. Each night there was live music by Stell & Snuggs right on the beach at Freedom City Surf & Paddle shop. Can't thank all the wonderful people of St.Croix enough for hosting me and showing me such a great time, looking forward to going back!

St Thomas, along with St Croix and St John, form the US Virgin Islands (USVI). These islands are located in the Caribbean Sea. The USVI is a territory of the United States so individuals born here are US Citizens.
The Virgin Islands of St Thomas, St John and St Croix were previously Danish colonies during the 17th and early 18th centuries. The United States then purchased the island from Denmark for $25 million dollars in gold coins.
Tourism, trade and rum production are the primary economic activities of the US Virgin Islands. St Thomas is most noted for its lush vegetation, breathtaking views, and pristine blue waters which attract roughly 2.5 - 3 million tourists a year.
The capital and largest city of St Thomas is Charlotte Amalie with a population of 10,354 (2010, US Census). The city is named after Charlotte Amalie of Hesse-Kassel who was married to King Christian V thereby becoming Queen of Denmark. Charlotte Amalie is known for its Danish colonial architecture.
The island has a significant association with pirates. Castles named after the pirates Blackbeard (Edward Teach) and the mythical Bluebeard overlook Charlotte Amalie.
Points of interest in St Thomas include Bluebeard's Hill, Legislature of the Virgin Islands, Fort Christian, Vendors Plaza, Emancipation Garden, Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) Memorial Park, Government House, 99 Steps, Haagensen House, Three Queens Statue, Crown House, Blackbeard's Castle, Estate Catherineberg, Drake's Seat, and Magens Bay. Breathtaking views can be seen from Mountain Top and Charlotte Amalie Overlook.

Joseph Bess | Reflections | St. Croix's Rainforest
As a child, growing up in St. Croix we’d take drives through the rain forest. Although, I couldn’t truly appreciate the beauty and serenity of this place then, I’m glad to be able to do so now.
Nostalgia is good in small doses and I allow myself to relieve moments to stay grounded and rooted.
Get to the memories that matter!
