What the day feels like

What the day feels like

You board in St. Thomas or St. John and spend the next seven to eight hours moving at the pace a private boat allows: coastal cruising between islands, short swims and snorkel stops, time at anchor for the bar and snacks, and the easy choreography as the captain and mate handle docking and anchoring.
