The "other" side of St. Thomas

Most sailing visitors spend very little time on St Thomas. Instead they charter their boats and head ASAP for the British Virgin Islands. 

We have some time on our hands as we wait for our kids to show up and perhaps more importantly for Debbie's passport renewal. So we are doing some exploring in US territory. 

Today we sailed around from Charlotte Amalie to the upwind side of the island. It was a good trip. The trade winds have backed off and this side is full of beautiful bays, lots of very large homes. And very few cruisers!

We have anchored for the night in Magen's Bay. Very very nice. Hope the picture publishes correctly.

    Jim,
    Not sure you are still in St. Thomas. If so be sure to visit St. Thomas YC at Cowpet bay. Say hi to the manager Bill Canfield for me.
