St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands to St. James, U.S. Virgin Islands

March 12, 2014

We were up and moving around about the time the sun came up this morning.  It was a beautiful sunrise near St. John Island.  We let go of the mooring ball and made our way over to St. James Island.  This island is close enough to St. Thomas for us to be to take Tim and Blenda to the airport tomorrow and yet, far enough away that we could spend the day enjoying another beautiful island.

We snorkeled off and on throughout the day with at least one of us spotting numerous manta rays, really large (like 5 feet or more) fish and an absolutely amazing sea turtle.  The sea turtle was my favorite.  It was in about 30 feet of water and we hovered over him while we were snorkeling and just enjoyed watching him eat and eventually, swim away.

We all decided to partake in a siesta with Blenda and I crashing on the couches inside and the guys in the cockpit.  Blenda and I woke up to an empty cockpit – Daniel and Tim had gone snorkeling.  We were not to be out done – I cranked up D-Time and Blenda and I took a spin out to find them.  We found them at the end of the island having a blast snorkeling.  Blenda and I enjoyed our ride in D-Time, and I didn’t crash or sink or anything!
For our last night of our guests’ stay, we made homemade pizzas and then watched a gorgeous sunset over St. Thomas.  We have so enjoyed having Blenda and Tim on the boat and the week has gone by way too fast.  I’m not sad about them leaving because I believe they have fallen in love with C-Time and will be back to visit us really soon.  They better!
