Sunday boat racesEver wonder what that loud whining sound is in Cruz Bay every Sunday? That would be the St. John RC Boat Club racing their miniature, gas powered boats around the bay at Beltway speeds. Meet two of the club’s charter members, and go for a miniature boat ride, below! ______________________________________________________________________

Cool boat cam
January 26th, 2009 07:36
Man the gun boats! Ha ha! A bit noisy but harmless fun for islanders! The onboard cam was pretty cool!
January 26th, 2009 08:00
Good job. I take it that the camera came back uninjured to fly another day!
January 26th, 2009 08:26
Cool! I found myself leaning to the right when the RC-cam came in toward that boat. Nice musical editing when the RC boat took on that splash! Thanks, guys!

I’m cracking up!! Boys and their toys!!! Cool boat cam! Looked like Capt John was checking it out!
January 26th, 2009 08:41
Ron, I want one too. If Ruth lets you get one Sue will let me get one.

THAT….WAS….AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please, Please, Please return and cover some of their races…the trash talk has to be out of this world!!! They’re all DEAD!!!!
IV bags for gas tanks?!?!?! How ingenious and such a great way to recycle those nasty bio-hazard materials

Great clip…great footage…if I were on St. John, I know where I’d be on Sundays..after Church of course!!!

This is fantastic!! After watching the whole thing, that noise will never again spoil my Sunday afternoon limin’ at the Beach Bar!
January 26th, 2009 10:01
Ok that was AWESOME! I wanna play!
January 26th, 2009 10:02
I’ve always wondered what that noise was! Thanks for solving a mystery.
January 26th, 2009 10:21
Ya Dead! Fun!
Cheers, RickG

What’s next? Donkey Cam? I dare you to strap a camera to one, slap it on the ass (pun intended) and send one running through Caneel Bay.

Yo…I got one of dem boats at my retirement house at Lake Gaston. It looks like Miss Budweiser. Yes it is load…yes it is fun…Lets see if I can get some sponsor money from the website to bring her down..Hey we can wear the website shirts…have pit babes walking around…ESPN would certainly want to pick up on this action…Really like the boat cam by the way….God bless…Bill

I double dare you to get the camera off the donkey when you’re finished filming.

Great! I recognize some of these guys from the crews on the ferry boats, that handles your luggage when you visit. They used to race these boats on the pond before the barges started using it. Glad they have a place to do their thing.
Something positive for youths to do on an island with limited things for young people to do for recreation. Go guys!!

Could they race in front of the St. John Spice Cam so we can watch???
I think Bill in VA is on to somethin’ BIG!!!

That was such a fun video to watch Jeff! Is there anyone on St. John that DOESN’T know you yet? I can just imagine it – “Here come’s Jeff with the camera – *sigh*” Seriously though, great stuff with loads of imagination. Plus, it’s a cool way of getting to “meet” the locals! Later : )
