We hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving break. For us it was a time well spent with friends and family and of course with you, if you rode with us on that day. Though Thanksgiving 2014 has passed, we will always have so much to be thankful for.  

• We are thankful for our staff for their dedication.  We are especially thankful to those who worked on Thanksgiving.

• We are thankful to our community. It is because of you that we exist.
• We are thankful to our vendors because you provide the raw resources that are necessary for us to remain in business.

But for those of you who do, we have already expressed our thanks by sending you a free round trip ticket. We hope it arrived in time for Thanksgiving; but if it didn't, no worries because our tickets never expire. 
  
• We are thankful for health and strength and the love of God and family.

How do you catch a car ferry in the United States Virgin islands? It is easier than you think. Below are 5 simple tips that can help you.

1. If you are not a resident and you are not familiar with the landscape, you may first have to get a local map of the island so that you can find the docks. Click here and scroll down to find general driving instructions from the Cyril E. King Airport in St. Thomas to the Red Hook terminal where the car ferries depart.
2. Call Love City Car Ferries, Inc. at 340-779-4000 to make a reservation or if you are computer savvy, just book online. Bookings must be made at least three days prior to departure.
3. Arrive to the docks 10-15 minutes before departure time.  If you arrive sooner, you may not catch the ferry you booked, especially since different companies use the same dock.  Love City Car Ferries, Inc. has black and white car ferries and the sailors wear blue shirts.  The vessels are the M/V Capt. Vic and the M/V Island Vic. Refunds are not given for incorrect boarding. So if you have a reservations, ensure you catch the correct ferry.
4. When you arrive at the dock in Red Hook, you will be greeted by a Virgin Islands Port Authority official who will collect a small government toll. Once you pay the toll, let them know you have a reservation. It will help them direct you where to line up.
5. Be prepared to reverse onto the vessel.  It is best to keep your windows rolled down so that you can hear the instructions of the crew member who is guiding you on board.  Once parked, engage your safety breaks and wait for the cashier to process your ticket.

After that, you are free to move around the vessel and enjoy the scenery.  The waterway between St. Thomas and St. John is one of the most picturesque in the world.

Have fun!
