Hey friends and fellow sailing enthusiasts!
I'm reaching out with a heartfelt plea to help my great friend, the steadfast Captain Mike of the Jolly Roger. As many know, the Jolly Roger has been a beacon of joy and adventure in St. Croix since the early '80s. With its iconic blue and white striped sails, this magnificent boat has been a cherished part of our community’s maritime landscape. We need your help; Captain Mike and Jolly Roger must sail again.
Memories Aboard the Jolly Roger
Personally, I’ve had the incredible fortune to host several private events on this boat. Every trip has been enchanting, from breathtaking sunset sails to Buck Island to delightful voyages from Christiansted to Frederiksted. The cleanliness, the smooth sailing, and the sheer beauty of the Jolly Roger create an unparalleled experience for everyone on board. But now, our beloved boat needs our help.
Why This Cause Matters
Helping to get the Jolly Roger back on the water isn’t just about a boat. It’s about preserving an essential piece of our community's heritage and continuing to provide unique experiences that delight both locals and visitors:
Cultural Preservation: The Jolly Roger symbolizes St. Croix’s rich maritime culture and traditions.
Local Economy Boost: Every sunset sail and event attracts tourism, supporting local businesses from eateries to souvenir shops.
Community Gathering: The Jolly Roger is a space where lifelong friendships and memories are forged.
Educational Opportunities: The sails serve as educational excursions, teaching our youth about navigation, sailing, and marine life.
How You Can Help
We need your support to raise funds to get the Jolly Roger sailing again. Every dollar counts, and your contribution will make a difference. Spread the word, share your experiences, and rally together to ensure Captain Mike can steer the Jolly Roger back where it belongs: on the serene waters of St. Croix.
Gear Up for a Cause
In addition to direct donations, you can show your support by purchasing some exclusive Jolly Roger apparel. Every purchase brings us closer to seeing those beautiful sails back on the horizon.
Remember, the deadline to purchase apparel is July 24th. Let’s wear our support proudly and spread the word!
Join the Movement
By helping Captain Mike and the Jolly Roger, we’re doing more than just funding a boat repair. We’re part of revitalizing a community landmark, keeping a vibrant tradition alive, and ensuring countless more magical sunset sails on the Virgin Islands’ crystal-clear waters.
Join Simply Jaynae and the entire St. Croix community in this noble cause. Together, we can make waves that bring the Jolly Roger back to its rightful place, sailing joyously along our breathtaking coastline.
Thank you for your generosity and support. Let's make this happen for Captain Mike!
