40 years of Soggy Dollars
We missed this party, but judging by the crowd, we’re about the only ones that missed it. Soggy Dollar’s 40th anniversary.
“People came with a smile, received a smile and left with an even bigger smile,” Soggy Dollar owner Jerry O’Connell tells us. “Forty years is impressive. By some estimates, over 1.5 million Painkillers have been served at this tiny bar.”
The Soggy Dollar and Sandcastle Hotel was founded in 1970 by George and Marie Myrick. Now in their late 80’s, and living in Florida, they enjoyed the party via the SoggyCam.
“Not in my wildest dreams did I think it would last this long,” George says. “Long live the Soggy Dollar Bar.”
Proceeds from the party went to support Virgin Islands Search and Rescue and the Jost van Dykes Preservation Society.
Here’s a peak peek at the party from Captain John. Thanks Captain!

I checked out the webcam on the big day and the day after the big day. Super packed both days. Maybe a lot of people just slept in the hammocks over night and woke up with a painkiller. Good idea right?
Happy birthday Soggy…great video John.
Cheers!

Does anyone else get creeped out by the fact that most people rarely use the facilities at Soggy Dollar?…..all the while drinking hours on end while sitting in the water.
Just curious,
