The British Virgin Islands belong to the Lesser Antilles and are a dream for bon-vivants and the super-rich: Caribbean nonchalance, combined with British understatement. Moko Jumbies, mysterious spectre ejectors, dancing in the light of the fire. They are fantastic entities on stilts, more than four metres tall. The group only takes commands from Shevorn, a descendent of the slaves that the Dutch once abducted to the Virgin Islands.
The slaves brought something new with them to the Caribbean: the belief in ghosts. The services of the Moko Jumbies are still sought after to this day. On uninhabited Salt Island, Alexandra Durante harvests salt from the lagoon. Back home on Tortola, the largest island in the archipelago, she boils and stirs bath essences and other homemade beauty products out of the gained sea salt. In the Callwood distillery in Sugar Cane Bay, Callum and Andrew heat up an old copper vat. A few hours later and a fine trickle flows out of a narrow pipe: rum!
Another bay further on, Egbert Donovan plucks the strings of his ukulele: Soca music with a stomping rhythm and sparse lyrics. This is how Egbert unwinds after working on his lifetime project, the Molluscs Museum.

You fellows try your best not to come to America. Policemen kill too many young black fellows here. I really do not hear killing of black men in Canada.
It's a shame so call more black people live on that island but Caucasians own the salt thief

As a cook on a cruise ship, i'd been there to those amazing, beautiful Carribbean island….what a joy i got in my life….
I enjoyed seeing the various sides of the island, as presented, but I found it interesting how the writer gushed about the British empire, threw In a bit about pirates but totally skipped over how the people got there and why they grew sugar cane! Surely that was worth a mention?
That rum guy needs a new still ASAP.
A lot of ( you know) you know ! If I listen because I don't know !
They should just leave the crabs alone….
I need to go. It's a wonderful place to visit.
I’m in Minnesota and loved that the purple glitter crab was named ☔️ Purple Rain after our late favorite musician Prince. Very enjoyable visit to the Virgin Islands. The flaming balls are a great sculpture idea. More sustainable agriculture and environmental protection. Thank you!

I shipped my boat to St Thomas in 1980 for four months. We boated all over Drakes Passage and anchored at the Bathes several times.
Lord be praised, what a beautiful place with truly lovely people. Forget Europe, go to the Virgin Islands!
I remember a hermit crab kiosk near me that used to say how it was cruel to paint the crabs shells while they were in it, and they got some on their legs at 19:46
Very good,best and marvelous documentary.Thank you.
Ba'al defeated the 7 headed sea dragon known as Lotan

Billionaires, corporations and private islands shouldn't exist.
This is one of the Island in the Carribean where the rich people from other parts of the world comes to get AN OFFSHORE BANK ACCOUNT to hide their money because the Island gives them some TAX HAVEN.
Now Pandora Papers is flying up and down leaking out the secrets of many top executives who fly in to hide their money from the TAX MASTERS.
That has to be the best rum in the world! Love rum.
