After a brief stop in Sopers Hole last night we made the big move to the USA. Its about 5 nm from the BVI’s to the US Virgin Islands, and when we were here last we had to be careful not to stray too far and cross the international boundary.

 

We checked in at Cruz Bay, and then motored round the corner to Caneel Bay. Its very nice, and the Natioonal Parks provide plenty of mooring buoys which are only $15 a night. They have a lovely “honesty~” system, where you put your money in an envelope on a floating platform. Despite being well sheltered it did end up being a little rolly as the wash from dozens of power boats passing nearby works its way in.
