USVIs and BVIs

April 6...Grrrrrrrr, curses, last night I updated all and must have pressed an incorrect button and all my work for the last two months disappeared.  Had to have a couple of drinks after that one.  But all is well this morning and really it is not my life's work so forging ahead......
Stayed overnight at Crown Bay on the 31st after waiting at the fuel dock for an hour and a half for our slip on C dock.  It ended up that the boat never did leave so we ended up on C dock which is a much shorter dock and it is a good thing that we are all pretty flexible in climbing over the life lines.
Motored to Francis Bay where we spent two nights.  One day was spent at Cinnamon Bay where we rented a paddle board.  On to Salt Pond, motor sail was pretty rough.  Two days were spent there, visited Concordia, Drunk Bay and some snorkeling.  Emily's Go Pro takes fantastic pictures and she followed a turtle while snorkeling.
Last night was spent at Caneel which is not the best anchorage as there are constantly ferries and other traffic going by.  Spent the afternoon at Salomon Beach, next to Honeymoon.  The sand at the beach there is beautiful white and very fine.  Not a very large beach but pleasant.
Today, into Cruz Bay, to check out of the US, and then on to Brewers Bay where we will spend the night. Tomorrow a relatively early start on to Salinas, the south east end of Vieques where we will meet up with Second Hand Rose.
