My wife is a nurse and has the opportunity for travel assignments in St Thomas and St John in the USVI. We have our first trawler under contract (I'll start another thread) and are curious about the possibility of spending the winter living aboard in the USVI while she works on one of the islands and I work remotely. From extensive googling, searching the cruiser forums, reading THT, and other sources, I'm getting very mixed reviews about the possibility and desirability of living aboard at St Thomas or St John.
Is it possible to live aboard and work ashore on either island? Any recommendations? A particular marina? While not as desirable (getting to work in bad weather), what about moorings or anchoring?
Any first hand experience in the past decade with either island, particularly safety?
