Jeff’s Visit – USVI, Feb 17–26, 2013

As we mentioned in a previous post, son Jeff timed his arrival so as to overlap granddaughters Kristen and Abigail’s visit by a few days. After the girls’ departure, we retraced the circuit of bays and anchorages that we have found to be guest-friendly. Francis Bay, Christmas Cove, Charlotte Amalie, Great Lameshur, Salt Pond, Drunk Bay, Caneel and Elephant Bay were all visited one or more times. We did some diving at Tektite Reef and Johnson Reef and “Cow and Calf” and Whistling Cay. We went to Heidi’s Monday night movie (where we saw “Skyfall”) at Honeymoon Beach. We got chased out of Elephant Bay early one morning by the Port Authority who was clearing the way for the arrival of the world’s largest cruise ship. We had prime rib at Maho Resort, and sushi at the Beni Iguana restaurant in Charlotte Amalie. We watched a few movies on board, and Jeff watched a gazillion episodes of Breaking Bad on his computer. He works hard when he is home in Las Vegas; we think he enjoyed his leisurely visit with us. We sure did.
