Stacey from Axtell, TX here...We've been watching your videos for years and finally have our first trip on the books for June 2025. I love the slow, quiet, relaxing vibe you included at the beginning of this video. It's great to see the balance of relaxation and adventure you can enjoy on a boat in the BVIs. ❤ Looking forward to the next leg of the Hillbilly flotilla!
Wearing my Wily T ball cap as I watch this (and having a beverage). Visited the older T years ago on the White Squall 2 and had a Blast! I thing you guys Rocked it. Cheers
Glad you are back in the BVI with friends, family and flotilla. Perhaps one day we will bring friends, hire a captain and then discover the joy and peace ourselves.
We're SO HAPPY to see you boating again! How ironic, when I used to sail BVIs, moorings were free and all were in good condition. Nowadays, you have to pay and they are compromised...
Hiking around Norman Island.....just 15 days after I spent 6 hours in the Emergency Room on my 50th birthday with heart complications to the jab...you know, Pfizer. I want to get back there and hike that island without breaking into a sweat. I have been active my entire life, soccer, skiing, biking, swimming, you name it, but that hike was the first after that scare and I didn't know if I was going to make it back to The Big Boy (sailing yacht). I've been fine since the end of 2022, but damn, I want that hike back. Beautiful views from every bit of that hike! This one touches me differently Alan, thank you. For the record, after my heart PVC's went away I jumped off the Willy T's multiple times.
And Yhat Doesn’t Suck. So very Happy for you to Enjoy again!!!! Have a Blessed Christmas and Healthy Year. How can I buy your shirt you have on? Thanks!!!
Nice video. We love the Willy T! Okay, I hate to be "That Guy" but the cleat hitch at 1:11 was an abomination. No idea who tied it of course but that image is like nails on a chalkboard to any self-respecting sailor. Get to the point in seamanship where you would NEVER include that in a montage of boating images please.
i do not mean to sound negative, but i do hope all your guests kept a close eye on their bar tabs at Willy Ts unfortunately they are getting quite a reputation for all the wrong reasons i have been done twice, if they think you are there for the taking, they will have you, big time total scum the only reason that i will never go back, is because i would end up in jail for putting at least one or two staff in hospital i hate thieves
Love the Willie T. Did Tortola 2021 and spent the day in the harbor next to Willie T. Awesome and can't wait to get back
I am so glad that one bad experience did not keep you from where your heart is. The Virgin Islands are magical.
Thank you! I agree
Alan 💪❤ "chopped" it beautifully again ! The BVI needs to adopt you as their "honorary ambassador..."
Yes they do!
And those smiles continue! So happy to see you having a great time, so well deserved!!
Thank you so much!!

Another fantastic adventure. Wish I could go today!
You and me both!
Looks like awesome fun - Go Hillbilly!!!!
It was!
All kinds of fun!
More great content, Alan.
You should do this for a living some day... 😆
Ronnie is a great foil for you.
The legend! 😂
Great idea! Ha. Ronnie is a legend….in his own mind!!!
Ah Norman... So much fun we named our Frenchie after the island! But did you go to the caves too?
Not this time… but usually do. Thanks for watching.
We're SO HAPPY to see you boating again!

Sad but indeed true. It’s an extremely popular place.

So glad to hear you’re doing better! Can’t wait to see you there one day friend.
Can I apply to cover Ronnie's position when he goes on vacation ? 😊 I am also excellent at couch sitting !
Yes you can! It’s a splendid gig!

See you there!
So nice to have you back where you belong! New boat soon? Hope so.
Time will tell!
So want to be back in the BVI!

Thewanderinghillbilly.com. Thanks for watching
what kind of dude holds his nose when he jumps
Old ones
Me !
The kind that doesn't like the burn of salt water in his sinuses?
Someone who has jumped before and had water go up their nose... Now, back to your mother's basement son.
Anybody know where the old Willy T sunken wreck is?
Don’t know! Was wondering the same.
It's been a few years, but I thougt you were supposed to jump au natural at Willy T's. Maybe it's a night thing....
Not when there are kids there! Lol.
It's not crowded at all
I stayed on that ball 111, last week, it was solid but the ball needs to be repaired. There are a bunch of balls near there that need repair
A lot of balls at Norman need some tending. Agreed.
It is tough to find anything to complain about in the BVI.
Indeed.
Nice video. We love the Willy T!
