St Thomas USVI 5 April

We spend the first night in Honeymoon bay of St Thomas. It was a beautiful calm night after an afternoon of swimming and snorkeling. Lovely sunset and all the lights of the capital Charlotte Amelia. Then we sailed into the harbour and anchored right in front of the town next to about 6 big cruise ships. We went ashore with 10000 other people. This is the jewelry capital of the world they say and all duty free. Funny where ever you go they think you are from those cruise ships and that you want to buy. The only thing we bought was very cheap chocolate rum and amaretto rum. Very nice. There were markets with all the Rastafarian stuff with the guys with big big hair with the nets over it. The prices are all still very high and I can not possibly bring more to the boat. Now we will go on to Christmas cove and St John and from there to the British Virgin islands. It is now never that far and I do not have to prepare for a big crossing. If only I would catch fish. Keep fingers crossed
