Exploring STT North Shore

​Current Location:  Brewer's Bay Anchorage, St. Thomas, USVI
Miles Traveled:  15
Weather:  Mostly sunny, occasional showers, windy (15-25), high-70s
Highlights: Decided after breakfast that it was time to go exploring and lobster hunting, so pulled up anchor and headed out the bay and sailed west along the north shore of St. Thomas.  We were looking for a calm bay where we could drop anchor and snorkel, but winds were too strong and seas were pretty high.  Checked out Santa Maria Bay, Little Bordeaux Bay, and Botany Bay, but waves were breaking all the way into shore, so we finally went all the way around Botany Bay Point and found a quiet spot on the south side of West Cay.  Dropped anchor and snorkeled around the boat; saw clear water, lots of fish and some cool rock formations, but no lobster to be found.  Had some lunch, raised anchor, then motored into strong headwinds into Brewers Bay, dropping anchor again around 4PM.  Beef and veggie shish kabobs on the grill with rice and apple sauce for dinner tonight, then light reading and watched some TV before turning in early.
