Crown Bay Marina in St. Thomas
was our first stop this morning for fuel.
Then we slowly meandered our way into St. Thomas’ main harbor. Daniel pulled along side a huge “mega yacht”
and dropped our anchor. He said, ”want
to go into town and walk around”? Huge
smile across my face was enough of a response.
We took D-Time to town and within 5 minutes of leaving C-Time, we were
walking the streets of St. Thomas.
Daniel wanted to see the fort and some other local sites and I wanted to
shop – so we split and went different ways with the intention to meet a little
while later at a certain spot. He went right,
I went left. I shopped the outdoor
markets, he went to view the fort and climb the famous 99-steps. I went to a lot, I mean a LOT, of jewelry
stores – there appears to be a zillion of them in St. Thomas and over an hour
later we ran into each other in the same souvenir store. Small world, huh? We got a good laugh out of it. After some local lunch, we headed back to
C-Time and continued on back to Great St. James Island. We liked the island from before and the
mooring balls made it a simple stop. We
snorkeled our afternoon away and I got to see my first manta ray, under the water
WITH me. I’ve seen them previously, from
the boat – this was really awesome. I
watched the manta ray swim around for a while and then swim away. We sat on the bow of the boat and watched the
sunset. Really nice day.
