ST. THOMAS — Yacht Haven Grande on Wednesday issued a statement regarding the incident that occurred at Brewers Bay on Sunday, where a vessel with three Caucasian men was seen prominently displaying a Confederate flag, swiftly igniting the ire of the Virgin Islands community, including Acting Governor Osbert Potter.
“The Confederate flag is not welcomed, not accepted, nor tolerated in the Virgin Islands under any circumstances,” Mr. Potter said. “The Confederate flag represents divisiveness, bigotry, slavery, and oppression. This is totally out of line with what we as Virgin Islands residents embrace, which is unity and acceptance of all people, regardless of race, color, religion or creed. The flying of the flag is totally offensive to Virgin Islanders, and I will not tolerate this blatant display of hatred to our people.”
See the Louisiana name on the Avon Inflatable boat in the pic.

The boat tender was being used for the Singularis owned by Jeffrey Citron, according to What’s Going On St. Thomas, and the larger vessel and its dinghy were ordered out of the Yacht Haven Grande Marina on Monday. Citron is the chairman and director of Vonage.

There's always gonna be trash chain smoking with a new Iberia haircut and flying the stars and bars.
They are the reason the flag gets a bad rap.

Except for people flying a Confederate flag, I guess...

I'd like to make a documentary of people not from the south coming down to Mississippi/Alabama and trying to lecture locals on the Confederate flag. 
But I will give these boaters credit... huge American flag being flown as well!

Sweet yacht. I'm sure there is another marina nearby that will happily let them moor and purchase 1200 gallons of diesel.

I'm no scholar but the US Virgin Islands isn't allowed to ban a flag

Sue their government. They can't enforce something that clearly isn't a law.

I was being modest. I guessed it at least 60ft.
For 4000 gallons, I think you can have them salute the flag while the tanks are filling.

The USVI should realize that the Confederate flag is useful, like neck tattoos and truck nuts, for spotting the assholes that reasonable people want to avoid.

But they embrace beardy Branson and his pedo ring with open arms

Idk about truck nuts, but how about I drag my peaches across your brow?
