Francis Bay to Greater Lamsure Bay, USVI

We worked our way around the east end of St John stopping for breakfast and nice snorkeling at Waterlemon Bay. Sunny, wind 10 - 15, but dying when we got the sails up. We stopped in Coral Bay to get some cooking oil and visit another sailor Emily met on the plane here. This evening we’re on a mooring ball in Lamsure Bay.
