So we seem to have worked our issues out. Apparently Coast guard registration renewal is pretty quick. About a week from renewal to getting our paperwork. Guess it makes sense given that is seems like all they'd need to do is print a new one and mail it. So thanks to that, we will be on our boat in the USVI.

Our boat has no generator but does have shore power A/C. So I was wondering what options there were on St Thomas to get on the dock for a night to cool off? I assume there's still nothing on St John? Really better if it stays that way. Figure we'll also need to top off on water and get some ice as well.

Thanks in advance! And thanks for everyone that helped with input.
