Hiking Diving and LOBSTER!!! St John USVI - Episode 12
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ส.ค. 2024
- We hiked and dove our way around St. John, USVI, hitting up all the well known spots as well as some secret spots of our own. Above the water we visit the Petroglyphs, the Old Reef Bay Sugar Mill, and Caneel Hill while below the water we check out Booby Rock and Lovango. We stumble upon a baby goat and find a few lobsters. We meet new friends and face a new challenge that will impact our sailing adventure.
And our favorite part, the drone footage at Rams Head!
We hope you enjoy, friends!

Hello guys, Michael here.. I must visit the Petroglyphs and spring fed pool and Congo. Verry soon. Can't wait! That baby goat was to cute and good deed done. Thank you guys for the wonderful video.
Hey Michael! We hope you enjoy your visit there! Such a cool spot!
@@SailingOneLife Thank you !
Beau and Brandy brought me here and now I am binge watching all your episodes :)
Hey there! Ah so cool, thanks for checking us out! We love the B's! We really miss buddy boating with them. Hope you are enjoying our vids!
WoW! @ 0:05 is my neighborhood!
So cool! Thanks for watching!
Awesome footage! We didn't use the drone last week there, because we were told we couldn't fly. So disappointed that we didn't capture all of this. Great job!!
Hey there, thank you! How are you liking the USVI's so far?
@@SailingOneLife We loved it. We were only there 12 days....wish we were there longer. Fun seeing you guys and Beau and Brandy on the islands just a few weeks before us. Looking forward to coming back!
Yes it would have been so fun to meet! Hopefully our paths will cross again! Where is your next stop?
Maybe St Thomas...also looking at attending Annapolis this year!! Next February we're in the BVI!
I'm praying for a good turnout for your engine problem! Waiting on pins and needles to see what happens next! Love you!
Excited to share our journey with everyone, all the ups and downs along the way!
Love you tons!
Blessings to you all, Have a wonderful Christmas and New Years.
Thanks Gibb! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well!
That was a sheep, not a goat. Tails up =goat. Tails down =sheep. 😂Droning on National Park land is prohibited. Thanks for catching the lion fish!
Thanks for the insight!
LOBSTERFEST!!!!!!!!!!!!
We definitely eat well!!
Mmmm.... Lobster, delicious.
🙏🏻...
Thanks, Richard!
Episode 12 wow you’ve came a long way 👍that was good work with a lot of variety!Sucks about your bent strut and shaft,that puts you in a bad situation 😐I probably would keep less lobster 🦞 per day but they must have plenty there.That hike and all you filmed was awesome and the drone footage was great.What a view from the top you are fortunate that you both can enjoy all that together👍You are one of my favorite TH-cam sailing couples!!!
Thanks, Mark! Our bent strut was a super bummer but it actually ended up teaching us alot about sailing as without using the engine we were forced to sail! Thankfully it all worked out in the end. Really appreciate the comments!
Oh guys nightmare, hope that shaft can be sorted easily, crazy it's done that amount of damage
The good thing about sailboats is they really don't need an engine to get around!
💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿🤘🏾🤘🏾😎
One Love!
Oh wow, it's Too Short. They deleted their channel but are starting a charter business.
Yes! We miss buddy boating with the guys! We are excited for them to start their charter business!
Interesting history this time.
I also wonder where that deer came from.
Be careful about drone flying in national parks. Many many countries across the world have made it illegal to drone over national parks. Just saying. Dont want you to get in trouble. Beauiful place.
Nice to see the different kind of lobsters. Which one do you like the best?
Thank you! Gary checks the rules for flying the drone each place we go, sometimes we can't find any rules at all. In most places we've found we can fly the drone without issues. In USVI you can fly the drone for recreational purposes we long as you aren't in an airport zone.
We love all lobster but we really like the Slipper lobster the best so far. They are very tender and taste like they have been soaking in butter all their life!
What dive mask is Gary using with that sweet beard?
It's a Scubapro but to be honest I don't remember what model. No problems sealing when the beard gets this long actually. When it's short and stubby sometimes it is a pain. 🤙
You aren’t concerned with Ciguatera from eating all of that reef fish?
Hey Mike! We always talk to the locals to see what fish they eat. Ciguatera varies from place to place. So far we haven't had any issues! 🤞
i know i'm late and i hope you change your style in catching. but as "no size regulation" does it mean you can catch a rellay tiny lobster that could live years , produce other lobster...just keep the big ones, that is what you should do, what your soul should say to you. Nice channel, hope in the other videos i see less "No regulated" lobster
Hi Maurizio! It's never too late to comment! The spotted spiny lobsters and slipper lobsters you saw in this video are full grown adults. They don't get any bigger than that. We have seen and left alone hundreds if not thousands of juvenile lobsters over the years, and will continue to let them grow. 👍🦞
@@SailingOneLife thanks for the answer, really appreciate it!! keep the work guys, you are great.
If you really love the ocean you don't catch fish or lobster. The reefs are decimated already as-is.
That's like saying if you really love the Earth, you shouldn't breathe the air. There's already enough CO2 as is! 🙄
The reefs have not been destroyed by people hunting or fishing to feed themselves. In fact if everyone only ate what they hunted (or grew) themselves, our natural world would be in a far better state. Let's focus on the real issues, not the sustainable harvest of a few lobster and fish a year.
@@SailingOneLife Shrug. Everyone thinks the lobster THEY take is no problem. Until one day there are no lobster, conch, grouper, or any other creatures left. All of those are vital to the reefs and seagrass beds. Populations are down drastically. I lived here for 45 years and have been snorkeling and diving for 35 of those years. The change to the reefs and populations during that time has been dramatic. If you really loved nature and reefs, you wouldn't catch and destroy the animals that live there.
@@SailingOneLife you cannot placate Zealots like the OP. Don't even try.
I didn't think you could get lobster from st John
Hi Dillon! Yep, you are right the majority of St. John is protected. We got these lobster off Congo Cay by Lovango which is outside of St John's protected area.
@SailingOneLife sweet. Because I lived in st Thomas for a couple years and am going back soon. I'd love to look for lobster in st John
Awesome! We recommend diving around Lovango and Congo Cay for them! 🦞
@@SailingOneLife awesome. Thanks for the heads up. I definitely don't want to get in trouble
