Carnival in downtown Charlotte Amolie

​Current Location:  Charlotte Amolie Harbor Anchorage, St. Thomas, USVI
Miles Traveled:  1
Weather:  Partly cloudy, breezy (15-2), low-80s
Highlights: Decided to check out the downtown area today, so took the dinghy over to Yacht Haven Grande marina, walked about a mile down the walking path and sidewalks, then arrived at the center of activity.  Carnival has been going on for the past month, and they have vendor tents, music, and lots of activities going on.  We checked out some of the tents, walked around the area, then started checking out some of the shops along the waterfront.  Picked up a couple of tee shirts, and Amy tried on a few dresses, but found nothing to her liking.  Had a late lunch at Gladys's Cafe, just off the waterfront, and were very impressed with both food and service - would highly recommend.  Along the way back, we found a couple of bead bracelets for Amy and a ball cap for Terry, then made our way back to the dinghy.  Decided after we got back to the boat that we were tired of the rolling, and moved around the point and into the main harbor of Charlotte Amolie.  Dropped anchor around 5PM in 25 feet, found good holding, tidied up the boat, then relaxed for the rest of the evening.
