 |
| We leave Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, and head upwind (motoring) to Christmas Cove at Great St. James Island |
 |
| We pick up a mooring ball, snorkel, and end the day with a Troubadour style happy hour of music by Captain Chris |
 |
| A beautiful sunset ends a perfect day |
 |
| We scuba dive Cow & Calf reef, and the next day, we head for Little Lameshur Bay, St. John, ... |
 |
| where I meet ... Tarzan? |
 |
| Much of St. John is a National Park, including the Lameshur Bays where the water is crystal clear, and deer and goats share the beach with sunbathers & snorkelers |
 |
| We stay two nights at Little Lameshur Bay, where eagle rays swim around our boat; and we scuba Clover Leaf reef making two (unsuccessful) attempts to snare lobster, but it's all good, we are having so much fun! |
 |
| After two nights we journey to Coral Bay, but find the anchorage a little too crowded. |
 |
| We go across the bay to the hurricane holes where the water is calm and a pretty blue but the mooring balls are for day use only and we want to stay a few nights. |
 |
| So we go back to Coral Bay and find a small anchorage on the south end called Johnson Bay, where you can see Norman Island, BVI, in the distance. |
 |
| We venture in to Coral Bay and tie up at the wobbly dinghy dock. |
 |
| The goats mow the soccer field next to the school. It's slow and relaxing here, if you want hustle & bustle you won't like it. |
 |
| We walk along the road by the shore and find Lily's Market where we quench our thirst and we share a $12 cheese burger & fries at Aqua Bistro. |
 |
| We venture back to the dinghy, but first stop at the popular Skinny Legs bar & restaurant |
 |
| We hope to come back to Coral Bay with some of our guests next month. |
