March 11...Arrived in the US again, checked in at Cruz. This time with no problem. Spent two nights in Fat Hogs Bay at Penns Landing in the BVIS. Canada night the first night which was a success as usual. Took our pizzas back as they were so large that none of us finished. Took bus into Roadtown to check out, lunch at Wickems Cay, then a walk over to Sunsail/Moorings charter area. Lots of boats!
Happy hour at Red Rock, discovered I liked Dark'nStormys. Yum! And back to boat for last supper with Dave of leftover pizza. Next day, Dave left as did we.
Currently in Francis Bay. Winds last night 20 to 25 and temperature was coolish to say the least. No ports or hatches were left open. Very unusual. Still cool today but still wearing shorts and short sleeves.

March 13...Here we sit in Francis Bay for the third day still enjoying the weather. Last night once again winds were up 20 to 30 with gusts of 40. Rain on and off. Positive note, Mistress no longer is full of salt and no leaks in the ports and hatches. Lots of water in the dinghy which is now rinsed as well. We are able to go to the beach in the afternoon and it is not too hot! Today apparently there is free beer all day at Christmas Cove because it it "PIE" day. We are passing mainly because there won't be any room!
Correction, today March 14 is pie day. They held it yesterday on Sunday so more people would come. Amazing how my mind goes on holidays sometime!
Today off to Long Bay, Charlotte Amalie, for laundry and stock up.
Weather when arrived was just not nice, rainy, and windy. But this morning a change. Back to the normal. Warm and sunny. Off to Costuless, Pueblos,etc. On way back to boat noticed huge fire and smoke. Along the waterfront a vessel was burning and firemen were doing their job! Sad state of affairs. Decided to go to Fat Turtle for wings and a beer and got a closer picture. On the way passed a pool, tennis courts and a beach volleyball court. Gee if I had known all that existed I may have pushed to stay at Yacht Haven Grand at least once in our stays in Long Bay here!
It was an 80 foot yacht that burned to the water line and was docked at Yacht Haven Grande, and towed to an more remote area along the waterfront. Read more on the front page of The Source, St. Thomas.
March 16...Now sitting in Lindburgh Bay waiting for JB to arrive.
March 17...Gorgeous morning in Lindburgh Bay
March 18...A very nice sail over to Culibrita. Picked up a mooring ball on the southwest side with the help of Lou. Lou attached a line to the eye of the mooring at the bottom of the sea and we are attached in that way. Quite a diver!
Today we hiked up to the lighthouse and then over to Tortuga Bay. Swells but the water lovely and the bottom is all sand. We did over 6000 steps thanks to JB's app on his phone.
