Unlike the lyrics to Billy Joel’s song, we may not work in the grocery store, but we are indeed moving out – today! Mitchell has been here tottering around St. Thomas for a month, and I over a week now, and this morning we are finally heading on.  In sailing it becomes apparent that one often waits for everything/nothing/something, and patience is far more than a virtue.  But with that having been said, our parts have arrived, our  Brokens are Fixed, and we are ready to go.  I thought I would just include a few parting shots that haven’t made it into the posts as a farewell to quirky, rough n tumble USVI::::

 ⬆️ The American Yacht Harbor Marina in Red Hook.

     ⬆️ The ferry/dinghy dock and a little church in Cruz Bay, St. John.  
  ⬆️ This one is for you Cyndi & Tony Chapman, and Katie Krupa 🙂  Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas 

 ⬆️ There is really nothing better than shabby, scratchy, crummy paint.  St. Thomas

  ⬆️ Food truck … Up in the hills of St. Thomas 

 ⬆️ Hawksnest Bay, St. John.  This was the snorkeling I have always imagined snorkeling would be: absolutely clear shallow water,  a variety of fish beyond  imagination, and a sandy little beach to sit on afterwards.  A very rolly anchorage though! 
 ⬆️ Waters off the  east side of St. Thomas.  Niiiiice. 

 ⬆️ Ah but working too hard can give you

A heart attack, ack, ack, ack, ack, ack

You ought-a know by now

Who needs a house out in Hackensack?

Is that all you get for your money?

And it seems such a waste of time

If that’s what it’s all about

Mama if that’s movin’ up then I’m movin’ out
Catch ya tomorrow my friends ….😎
