It's more like 34nm from the south bays of St John. But that's splitting hairs. We go for the sail which we greatly enjoy. If your crew doesn't enjoy the sailing part of sailing I wouldn't go. St Croix is nice but imho not enough to merit a long sail if you don't care for actually sailing.


Life's short - sail more!
