ST Thomas USVI


ST THOMAS USVI.
As we approached the St Thomas Harbor we could see the bay filled with boating traffic. Everything from real small motor boats to cruise ships. The water is deep blue and calm. The city streets line the ocean front. You can hear commotion, traffic and sirens all of which we have almost forgotten. Our hook is now dropped so close to three cruise ships, we could hear the music playing aboard as if we were there. “Round and round and up and down we go again” still rings in my ears. It’s a party place and you fell it I your bones.The city streets are a tourists dream, duty free name brand stores everywhere. The alcohol is cheap if you buy it from a liquor store. But to eat or drink anything in a bar or restaurant they just rip you off.
We went to Black Beards castile high on a hill looking down over the bay. Walked all over the place then went back to the boat to rest.

The next day was Carl’s birthday, we took him to Hooters for drinks and appetizers. The Hooter girls all sang happy birthday. Carl enjoyed that! Next we went to the marina and met up with Off-line and Nudula to play pool and talk boater talk. The US Virgin Islands is nice but we have seen enough. Next stop the British Virgin Islands.
