The Caves, Willy T's and back to St. Thomas

27 March 2010

Weather report - I would be repeating myself for the 100th time!

We motor out of Great Harbour for the short hop to Norman Island and The Caves. Brenda shows Sami how to grab a mooring ball and tie off the boat and we are all in the water within minutes. The Caves is a great snorkeling spot to see the colorful fish and coral. We use up the last of our disposable camera's, hopefully we have some great shots and after a couple hours we motor around the corner into The Bight. We grab a mooring ball and dinghy the short distance to Willy T's floating bar and restaurant to enjoy some cold Caribs and fish and chips, a nice relaxing lunch at one of the icons of the Caribbean.

Back on ITW we motor sail down wind the 17 NM back to St. Thomas and Crown Bay Marina where is all began with the kids last Monday. I top off the water tanks and wash the boat while Brenda, Sami & Huston do laundry and grocery shopping. Sami was planning to stay an extra week with me and hang out, but when we called Delta to change her ticket there where no seats available for an entire week, Spring Break - Ugh - looks like they all go home tomorrow ;(

We enjoy some Pearl Saki and then head up to Tickles restaurant for burgers and beers, Sami & Huston had to have a couple last Painkillers, some rum fruit drink that definitely kills the pain.

Back to ITW and it is lights out and nap time as we all have to get up at 5:00 AM to catch the taxi to the airport.
