After an early morning motor-sail to Christmas Cove, and a brief, but amazing team snorkel over the new reef, we sailed back to where the trip began for our Toronto friends, Charlotte Amalie harbour in St. Thomas.

The Yacht Haven Grande Marina directed Windancer IV to temporary berth "Charlie" C-14, where we secured the lines and headed to the Fat Turtle restaurant for a final snack before their flight.

While "chief of security" Dave finalozed all the packing (and only forgot one of Caroline's sarongs), John supervised a final "fresh water" pool swim for Sabrina, Jenny and Connor (whose still planning his KMR tour) and the ladies ventured out for one last shopping excusion to the market.

Many hugs and smiles were shared before the Joakim "team" boarded the waiting 8 passenger golf cart (boy I can't get enough of this marina!) and were escorted to a waiting taxi to the airport. The wheels were up at 1600 and they were off, heading back to the great white north.

Thanks for sharing an amazing 10 days and Happy New Years and all the best for a healthy and happy 2009!
