St. John Excursions: Climbing a Coconut PalmPosted by gerald in St. John Day Trips and Excursions, tags: British Virgin Islands, Ezius Ashley, Jost Van Dyke, Virgin IslandsIn the following video, Ezius Ashley demonstrates how to climb a coconut palm and pick a coconut. Notice how he uses the natural grooves in the palm trunk foothold. Grasping the trunk on the opposite side and pulling inwards he transfers weight to his feet thus allowing them to adhere to the trunk. Good going Zi!

St. John Excursions: Little Jost Van DykePosted by gerald in Life on St. John USVI, St. John Day Trips and Excursions, tags: British Virgin Islands, bvi, curtney chinnery, dr william thornton, Foxy, ghost, Jost Van Dyke, jvd, little jost van dyke, long bay, s taboo, St. John, william ThorntonThe Home of Dr. William Thornton, Little Jost Van Dyke, British Virgin islands Dr. William Thornton, the designer of the US Capitol Building, was born in Great Harbour Jost Van Dyke in 1759. In later years he lived on Little Jost Van Dyke. The remains of the Thornton residence lie on a ridge on the Western side of the island overlooking Tortola to the south and Lost Van Dyke to the west. The following photos illustrate the hike I took with Curtney “Ghost” Chinnery to Dr. Thornton’s home. Ghost and I put in at the old dock that lies on Little Jost Van Dyke across Long Bay from Foxy’s Taboo. It’s a tough approach and you’ll need a shallow draft boat and some creativity to tie up here. Once we accomplished that we hiked along the coast and picked up a trail of sorts leading to the remains of an old structure once destined to be a bar and restaurant on the western beach south of Dim Don Point. As we approached the old structure, we needed to keep alert for the numerous suckers that seemed to be just about everywhere. From the old unfinished and crumpling, bar we bushwhacked up the hill to the ridge where we came upon the remains of the old Thornton residence.
