51 weeks of visiting the island spread over 14 years and I have never felt afraid or weary on the island. I take the normal precautions like leaving nothing in the car, etc., but the possibility of a nuisance crime happening is possible anywhere so I would rather focus on the pure joy of my visit. I will be on the island in less than 4 weeks and the thought of crime won't enter my mindset.

When I am on the island my perception is that of the "Friendly Island". I enjoy interacting with both the residents and the other vacationers and about the only people that annoy me are those behind the pastry counter in a French bakery that act like they don't know what I mean when I ask for a chocolate croissant.
