The Sun Kings rocked at Paradise Point for the Boat Show Party!

It is amazing to see a ski lift system in place from Havensight that takes you to Paradise Point, on top of a mountain overlooking the Caribbean. Murray Pridham has created a Caribbean party headquarters on top of this mountain and the Boat Show had their Friday night rockin’ party there.

Holy Moly! I had forgotten what it was like to hangout with 50+ yacht crews when they don’t have anyone to worry about other than how to get back to their yachts. There were even a couple of the crew from Clasship I that had badges on with instructions as to how to get them back to their yacht.

Oma snagged me a taxi since I was so late that I did not have time to wait in line at the gondola. She was the fifth St. Thomas woman that asked if I would be her husband. If I had said yes to all of them my alimony payments would be more than I could ever afford.

I arrived at Paradise Point and the first thing I noticed as a sign that said, “Please Keep Off Grass”. That seemed link an oxymoron for the Caribbean, but there is a “zero tolerance” drug rule at Paradise Point.

Next I met James who is the lift supervisor and then his assistant, Tony, who seemed to be off duty with two of the yacht brokers in arm. Being the very good Caribbean lifestyle detective that I am, I immediately met the bartender, Elroy. But he seemed to be busy.

I decided to explore even deeper into the back part of Paradise Point and I met Alicia, the chef of the place. Holy Moly! She was pumping out some amazing appetizers for this crazy bunch. My “first impression person”, from Yacht Haven Grande, Christina, who introduced me to the Rum Hut taxi station, asked that I take a picture of her and Derek – I think she said he is the security guy at Yacht Haven Grande, but I am not sure because the noise was so loud.

Then the real fun began with the Sun Kings – local band from St. Thomas. They gave the crowd all they expected and more with a Reggae concert. No one was sitting throughout the entire night. I had been over served a bit last night so I actually only had one glass of wine – well, I had the Voodoo Rum drink earlier at the Rum Hut. The rest of the night I just had water. I made it home at a decent hour, and hit the sack with dreams about what tomorrow will hold. I let you know in a few hours. Until then….
