from my window... what is your favorite STJ view?
It is snowing and blowing so much here that I can't even see my neighbor's house out my window... but if I look really hard to the southeast I can see the azure hue of Maho just beginning to pop out between the trees as we head northwest along North Shore Rd coming from Centerline Rd... ahhh, my favorite view of STJ. Not the most panoramic or spectacular, I realize, but my favorite none the less. What's yours?
Me too! Sitting on our balcony with a drink in hand and watching the ships pull out either in daylight or after dark. They look like a floating city of lights at night. I am still fascinated how those thing actually floatwaterguy wrote:For me it is the lights on the cruise ships as they leave STT from my deck
Early morning, from the deck (of Villa Carolina)...the ferries churning past Tortola and the sun rising over the BVI
Midday, from the deck...white sails on blue, blue water in all directions
Late afternoon, from the deck...The Breath returning to Coral Bay Harbor and a small cruise ship heading toward STT
Early evening, from the deck...the sun dropping behind Bordeaux Mountain and twinkling lights appearing in all directons accompanied by the incredible island sounds of birds, frogs, and insects
What a day dream!

In August 2001, our family first ventured to St. John, having known no one who had been there. We rented a house on Upper Carolina and fell in love with the view of Sir Francis Drake Channel, Tortola and the other islands. Any time of day it just unfolded -- the water, the sailboats, the changing clouds over Tortola. My husband took a panoramic photo that now hangs over our dining room table between two windows.
The view from our windows here is beautiful, too. We live in Greenwich Village and overlook downtown. A couple of weeks after we returned from our first trip to Coral Bay, we were stunned by a horrific view from our windows. As I embraced my husband and realized our lives were changing forever, I thought that, no matter what happened, I was so happy we had gone to St. John together as a family -- each of us having reconnected in a profound way and fallen in love with St. John. We try to return each year if we can, and it is always a time of renewal.
My favorite view? I have too many to name, but I know that the view of Sir Francis Drake Channel that was etched in my brain, helped me to get through those dark days when it was so painful to look out my own window.
Sometimes when I'm feeling pressured, I gaze at the photograph and also the view from my window and realize how fortunate we all are.
