WATER ISLAND

Sailing to St.Thomas Harbour late in the day, you might want to stop on Water Island first. It has a couple of pleasant anchorages protected from east winds with sandy beaches and coral reefs for snorkeling. We spent two days in Druif Bay, also called the Honeymoon Bay and had a nice hike to the east side views and to other anchorages. The ferry runs between the Phyllips Landing and Crown Bay on St.Thomas.

A short walk up the hill from a bay we found a pizza restaurant, opened Fridays only, and since it was Friday, I was spared from cooking

Post office boxes for the islanders and a library for the residents and the sailors: take a book, leave a book. It works on all the islands, the shelves with books are usually in the ports' bars and restaurants
