Monday, April 17th

After a wonderful week with Keith's family (mom, brother, sister-in-law, and nephew) on board, Easter Sunday we dropped them off a Soper's Hole to catch the ferry to St.Thomas. We did the typical charter route to hit all the popular spots and spent their last two nights at Norman Island (Friday & Saturday)- breaking our vow to NEVER go to Norman Island on a weekend. Though entertaining due to the crazy antics of boaters, the number of boats from dinghy size on up speeding through the anchorage coming way to close to other boats and snorkels/swimmers is ridiculous.

We spent Easter afternoon cleaning the boat followed by a nice light dinner. We thought today (Monday) we would do the laundry but it's closed until Tuesday. So, we changed the engine oil and transmission fluid and did a few other boat chores. Our friends who are cruising in Mexico commented on their blog "if we're not fixing it, we're cleaning it" - so true!

We have another week before we have to check out so hopefully we'll finish the laundry early tomorrow and head for Jost.
