Over at St. John

We took a couple of days and went to St. John in a bay called Francis bay. It’s a very well protected cove and it was good to have the protection. We had a couple of days where the wind was really howling. In the bay we only caught a little of that.  Every once in a while we would get a gust and it would be around 25 kts., but for the most part we were protected.
We took the dogs on a three mile walk to the old sugar factory on the other side of the cove. 
They had a good time and we saw one of the best preserved Sugar Factories in the Caribbean.
It seemed to function from the early 1800's to around 1880. Everything is grown up around it and it hard to image all that being cleared for sugar cane. 
We have three or four couples here in Francis bay that we met and it's nice knowing some people. We are going over to one of their boats tonight to listen to the Dallas/Detroit game.

I think we will be in Redhook next. Then maybe Megan’s bay.
