Were you robbed on the WillyT or was your boat broken into? My experience is most of the locals are from the BVI in the evening. Some USVI during the day.

Just physically harassed on the Willy T. The three girls that were with us were grabbed (as in full hand) on their breasts and their asses. The "locals" were completely wasted and one hit me with his fist in my face for absolutely no reason whatsoever. Very intimidating so were stayed smart and left as quickly as possible without instigating anyone. Our boats were broken into (2 of them) and several phone and computers stolen. We actually didn't even realize it until the next day when we were under way. They were brilliant in that they only stole a few phones so we thought we had misplaced them until we all realized that they were gone. We reported it but to no avail. Cops said that is was probably thugs from the USVI. And after spending a LOT of time in the BVI's, I believe them.

The locals were definitely from USVI (St. Thomas specifically). They all came across on little 12-14 foot race boats with huge outboards on them. When I spoke with the crew of the Willy T the next morning, they were apologetic and said that it was a problem.

Really sucks because Willy T is a safe place for us. Its a place we can drink all night, dance until we can't stand and strip out of our clothes and skinny dip if we want to. It really is a place of legend. And we didn't give up on it. Sailed around the other islands and then returned the following Saturday night. And it was all that.

Fast enough to get there, slow enough to see.
