We're HERE

We haven't been to a place that has had wifi so here are a couple of posts.
We spent the last couple of days cruising around Culebra and visiting the different beaches then on Thursday we headed over to Culebrita which is a small island off of Culebra.  It has the oldest lighthouse in the Carribean but it isn't working any longer as you can see from the pictures.  The island had some really great snorkeling too.  Then this morning we headed over to St Thomas which we pulled into the bay in Charlotte Amalie at around 2:00 pm.  We will be hanging out here for the next week waiting for Amanda and Remi to visit on Sunday (can't wait).  We will probably sail around the island and check out Red Hook and some other places.  This is where we are thinking of making our home port because it is easy to fly into and out of and we are fairly familiar with the island after visiting several times.  It is also US territory so it will be easier to ship things here.  I really didn't think we would make it but this was our goal and WE DID IT-pretty awesome.  We didn't add it up but we think we did around 3,000 miles.  There were some stressful times but the majority of it was really great.  Now we are going to spend time enjoying the US and British Virgin Islands.  We have quite a few people scheduled to come down and visit so it will be a great time showing them around the islands that we are fairly familiar with.
