Great St. James Island, USVI to Little Harbour, Jost Van Dyke, British Virgin Islands


March 23, 2014
We left Great St. James Island about mid-morning and made our way to check in with the local authorities at Jost Van Dyke Island in the British Virgin Islands in about an hour’s time.  Check in was $15.00 at one spot, $0.20 at another (not sure what that was for) and $20.00 for checking in on Sunday.  When I gave the girl the 20 cents I gave her a dime, nickel and five pennies.  She said, “Don’t you have any more nickels?  No one takes pennies anymore.” 
After check in and dropping off our garbage, we headed to Foxy’s outdoor restaurant and had a $40.00 lunch.  It consisted of 6 conch fritters for Daniel, a 6” shredded pork wrap (with fries) for me and 2 diet cokes.  Pricey?  I would say, yes.  We left there, and walked the waterfront and came across a small grocery store and decided to buy a small container (each) of ice cream - $18.00 total.  We are leaving this place, we can’t afford it!
We got back to C-Time and motored over to Little Harbour and picked up a mooring ball ($30).  The wind has dropped off to about nothing so we had a very calm peaceful sleep last night, with the exception of the baby goat, off in the distance, calling its Momma throughout the night.
