We are now more than a week in St. Thomas and this is a very busy harbor. There are daily arriving at least 3 big, big cruise ships, several small ferry boats bringing people somewhere are drifting by and then we have the noise of the street; the cars do not have much space to let the police pass, so the emergency vehicles are constantly driving with their loudest equipment on.
Having said all the negatives first, this is a very nice and roomy harbor, every boat has a lot of space and there good dinghy docks. Our first trip to land was to downtown, is old and very cute but only made for the tourists. It has really very nice old buildings, but it is a watch store, a jewelry, a liquor, a watch, a jewelry etc.

So the next day we went to another part of town, where everyone else lives and works and there were normal grocery stores, all in short walking distance to the dinghy dock. We are being lazy, doing one thing a day and reading: Jacques has discovered reading this time and is already busy with his fifth book!!!!!!!!
Wednesday there will be north wind and we intend to go to St. Croix, it is a little bit out of the way so we hope to find a more quiet spot.
We will report again from St. Croix.
