COMMENT: Beach House – EN ROUTE – St. Thomas to Christensted, St. Croix (USVI)

Fabulous day, fabulous sail! On recommendation of friends Mike and Beth Lonnes, (who just sent us all sorts of lovely local info)
We\’re off to the most remote and least visited of the USVI. Full report soon. Next blog will be on St. Barth\’s.
It is very strange to be hearing the USCG on the VHF! We re-set our radio back from International VHF channels to US VHF channels
in St. Maarten. Getting close to the USA!
KIT,
Scott and Nikki
