Caribbean Islands Adventure 2022 – Part 2: St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands

January 14, 2022

The seas were calm and the overnight sailing was smooth from Puerto Rico to the Virgin Islands. We started the day on our veranda watching the ship dock in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, USVI.

A scenic bus ride on the narrow, winding roads of St. Thomas to where the catamaran was docked, sailing through the turquoise waters along the coast of St. Thomas, a rainbow over St. Thomas (shown in the header above), sailing through Pillsbury Sound where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Caribbean on our way to St. John, a dinghy ride to Honeymoon Beach in the Virgin Islands National Park in St. John, swimming in the Caribbean, walking on a white sandy beach, and just chilling on the beach. It doesn’t get much better than that!

Beautiful day for a sail

We returned to our ship in time for lunch and enjoyed a relaxing afternoon. Our beautiful day ended after another glorious sunset and another delicious dinner.
