... to walking on decks and ground that isn't moving.

We're currently sailing with 1st reef main and full genoa in NE winds at 15-20 on the beam. 8-10 kts boat speed. Moderate seas. The wind didn't back as much as expected overnight, so we benefited with better boat speed and thus are able to get in during daylight. Over night in higher winds we were down to the 2nd reef in the main and deep reefed genoa - still topping ...

Salt Pond Bay & Ram's Head Peak Hike

We planned to meet up with Ken and Joan to attend the Michael Beans Happy ...

The Islands await, Mon

A travel blog entry by twotrainstravel

We docked in Charolotte Amalie, St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands about 7:00 a.m. We opted out of taking an excursion on the island and took a nice long walk down to the core of the town. We were able to see a few of the points of interest, the Frederick Lutheran Church which was built in late 1700's, the Legislative Building constructed in 1870 and Fort Christian built by the Danes in 1666. The heat and humidity were sweltering but ...
