Crusin' St. Croix‏ (June 23, 2009 9:01:23 AM)

Hello all!

Just a quick email from an internet cafe in downtown Christiansted, St. Croix. We left Ponce, P.R. Saturday at 1:30 p.m. and arrived here about 10:00 a.m. Sunday. Very tired and an okay passage, but more water leaked into the salon, this time from the port side. Greg has patched it as best as he can. None of the porthole windows leaked which is great.

We have to pinch ourselves as we cannot believe we are here! God has been busy with that green crayola crayon again, it is lush and flowers blooming everywhere. I am not on our laptop so can't send photos but will with the next email, we have taken lots. We decided to stay one more day as we were just so bloody tired and needed a day off. We walked into town this am to do some bumming around, lots of neat shops. We are staying at the St. Croix Marina. Great marine store here, we have found some good cruising and dive guides. We are leaving here at 5:00, and heading to Saba, a small island 90 miles east of here, should take us 15 hours so we will get there at 8:00 tomorrow morning. From there we will island hop south as weather permits. At least we are finally in the islands and moving along in short hops.

Will email again soon as we can! Lots of love and hugs from the Dutch Dreamers
