Hurricane Hole to Leinster Bay, St. John, USVI


March 17, 2014
We left Coral Bay this morning in route to Leinster Bay.  It was a lovely day and we had the jib up and took our time around the island.  We were close enough to the British Virgin Islands that we could see lots of boats and people milling around, but we weren’t ready to go through the customs clearance thing yet, deciding to stay with the U.S. Virgin Islands for now. 
We arrived at Leinster Bay early and were able to enjoy some snorkeling at Watermelon Cay.  It was a really nice time, lots of pretty fish and coral.  After our snorkeling, we took D-Time ashore and went for a 2 mile hike to see the old ruins that made up Annaberg Sugar Mill Plantation.  After that nice walk, we settled down with our chairs and dinner on the bow of C-Time and watched fish jump, pelicans dive and deer come to the beach – and the sunset.

    Hi Guys, well your almost in our favorate part of the world. The boats you see to the north on the next island are more than likely at the Soggy Dollar Bar in White Bay. Have a Painkiller for us. Enjoy the BVIs. Tracey said we should swap boats when your finished. We will leave ours in the Whitsundays in Australia  for you and we will go back to the BVIs, lol Cheers S&T
