I've not heard many people focus on St Thomas when sailing the USVI. Is spending a night in Megans Bay highly recommended?

Hard to answer your question on if the sail to St Croix is "worth it". If you like a great sail I would absolutely recommend it. If your crew on the other hand views the sailing part as simply a way to get to the next anchorage it's harder to recommend. One night is fine btw - we've done that before. Get an early start from Salt Pond (or next door bays). Count on about 4 hours (likely shorter). Enjoy the afternoon and evening exploring Christiansted waterfront area which is quaint.

Megans Bay is a nice overnight anchor.


Life's short - sail more!
