Sun setting behind St.John's hills

Sun setting behind St.John’ hills Wide and spacious St. John’s Coral Bay harbour is mostly home for island workers. Living on boats, they row or motor in their dinghies in the morning to the dinghy dock and from there drive to work or take local bus. On St.John driving is on left side of the road, probably inheritance from Britain, who claimed the island at one point in history. The bay doesn’t give you a typical Caribbean sight. Five or six boats, wrecked and abandoned after the hurricane, are caught in the mangrove, that is lining the shore. The name Coral is not justified in this part of the bay, but just outside of it there are beautiful anchorages and many white beaches, separated by coral reefs. We anchored in front of the beach, relaxed, enjoyed the scenery and caught enough fish to last us through the long stretch, planned for tomorrow.
