Little Lameshur Bay, St. John to Hurricane Hole, St. John, USVI

Today we set out for Hurricane Hole, via Coral Bay, on St. John.  The wind is supposed to pick up to 20 knots or more, so we were looking for some wind protection.  We stopped at Coral Bay because we had a recommendation from our friend, Marshall, to try a restaurant there called Skinny Legs. We arrived in Coral Bay and heard hymns being sung in the local church.  The church was on a hillside and the windows were opened.  The bay was quiet, no dinghy noises, it was very serene to hear that lovely music first thing in the morning.  Since we were a little too early for lunch, we decide to just walk around and see what there was to see in Coral Bay.  We walked the road on the inside of the harbor from one side to the other and met lots and lots of locals, okay, local goats.  The goats were everywhere.  There was no such thing as a fenced in goat.  On the upside, the yards were all nicely maintained by the goats, as was the local football field and cemetery.  We saw probably a dozen or more on the football field chomping away.

It was a hot day (probably about 85 degrees) so I had my favorite Alabama "A" hat on.  As we sat at Skinny Legs eating lunch (Blue cheese hamburgers, yum) along comes in another Bama fan with his Alabama "A" hat on.  No matter where you are in the world, the good guys are always around.  :-)

After our delicious lunch we made it back on board and set out across the bay to Hurricane Hole.  We picked up a mooring ball, Daniel made water and I went snorkeling.  It was kind of a lazy day for me. Daniel had other boat jobs he was working on, the best of which was my anniversary present - a new fan!  My new fan sits just above my head as I sleep at night, it is wonderful!  Some women crave jewelry or fancy cars, I wanted a fan.  My Captain knows how to keep his crew happy.
