We're not going to make it to the BVIs this week, too much fun hitting the STJ anchorages and St. Thomas sights. Abi Beach Bar is (ahem) the best beach bar (for us) in the Virgins. No crowd yet, great service and great food. We had a great day there with Mrs. Capt. Jay on Saturday. Water Island is a big party on Sundays. Great Lameshur on St. John is a "no lights on the hill" experience with nothing but mountain above us. We spent the night in Hansen Bay, off of Coral Bay, last night met up with cruising friends from catamaran Mowser. St. John friends are coming by this morning for mimosas with the Mowser gang on De Life. On to Leinster Bay tonight.

We love the BVIs, but we are not missing the crowd. I am missing the happy hour at Myett's. I'm also missing the cruiser infrastructure, no dinghy dock at the grocery store in Coral Bay.

Cheers, RickG
