US Virgin Islands - We left Jost Van Dyke with a light rain shower and made it in one hour to Cruz Bay, on St-John, US Virgin Island Another rainbow...we can not keep count anymore! There was a drastic difference between the pace when we arrived in Cruz Bay: traffic jams, American tempo, several liveabords boats rundown and scatered in the waters of the bay to the point that there is no space for transient boaters like us. Yes, many Americans of the mainland US have just moved here and do not have the money and the will to look after their boats - often looking like wrecks! After our check-in with US authorities, we sailed towards Christmas Cove on the west coast of St-John for a couple of nights. We did some very good snorkeling there, sighting a young southern ray, turtles, and enjoying the very clear waters. Our next destination was Water Island, just a few miles from Charlotte-Amalie Harbour where we were lucky to find a place to anchor , as once again, there is a good number of liveabords occupying the waters.
