Whales put on a show
Visitors from Massachusetts got a treat last week toward the end of their day on the water with Palm Tree Charters. An up close encounter with a couple of whales.
“I was out with the Mitchell family from Topsfield, Mass. on our way back from Jost Van Dyke, about half way between St. John and Jost around 4 in the afternoon,” says Capt. John Brandi.
“They were Humpback whales. They come down to the warm tropical waters from the North Atlantic in the winter to breed.”
It’s true….

Awesome! I’ve often wondered if it’s possible to watch the whale migration from any villas or condos? Ever see the whales from the pool or deck of Bongo-Bongo? All those snobby whales that migrate to Hawaii get all the attention…it’s time for the whales of St. John stand up (figuratively, of course) and be recognized!
I’m sure the whales are still looking for the rum poured overboard from the filming of “A Shot of Brandi”
