Soper's Hole, BVIs to Caneel Bay, USVIs

On the morning of April 10th, Justin and I got up early to catch the 6:45 am Ferry to the USVIs to get a visa waiver stamp in his pastport so that we can bring Just Dreamin into the USVIs.

We left Soper's Hole on Tortola Island in the BVIs on a fast ferry and landed in Cruz Bay on St John Island in the USVIs, where we did customs.  After Justin got his visa waiver, we got back on the ferry, which took us to Red Hook on St Thomas Island in the USVIs. This is where we hopped off the ferry just to pass in our ticket and then hopped back on the same ferry, which took us back to our boat in Soper's Hole.  We arrived back just around 8:30 am.

Justin and I went to have breakfast at a quaint, little restaurant.  Afterwards, we met up with Anthony, Margaret, and Mike.   We returned the SUP to the rental agency.   Then we spent a few hours looking through the shops.

We returned to the boat and set off for the USVIs.

After a leisurely sail downwind,  we arrived in Cruz Bay on St John Island.  However, the bay was too shallow and too packed for us to anchor.   So after going through customs, we moved to Caneel Bay.
