While St. Thomas may have more hustle and bustle than a lot of
cruising sailors want, you have to admit this: It's got everything
- convenient, inexpensive travel through a major airport (and
close, too), reasonable provisioning, first-class marine services,
world-class shopping. And if you look around just a little bit,
you'll find the quiet areas that let you down shift quickly into
cruising mode again. Heck, Water Island is a fantastic haven
less than a mile from downtown Charlotte Amelie. Buck Island is the most consistent sea turtle viewing we've ever had, and
it's a short sail out of the harbor. Magen's Bay on the north
shore has one of the most stunning beaches in the Virgins. Give
St. Thomas a try. You won't be disappointed.
