04 Jan [Ep. 20] Sailing FAST & Living Slow! – FUN with Spinnakers in the USVI

We make our final push sailing into St. Thomas US Virgin Islands during a squally night. We have some special visitors, but first, we catch up on some boat work, fixing some not so fun problems. We visit St. John USVI for some fun with friends and do some swimming and snorkeling. Two sailboats on the water make a race (we were racing at least)! We are challenged by an Outremer Catamaran! We celebrate our win in this video with some boat pizza!

In this episode, we finally make it to St. Thomas after a 700 mile offshore ocean passage from the Bahamas. We are glad to see land but after so much time in the deserted islands of the Bahamas, we are smacked in the face with the full force of big brand marketing in the USVI. We have lots to do while we are here, especially some much-needed plumbing work. Don’t ask, just watch and you will see.

We also need to make some repairs after the hard sailing passage. We still make time for fun though. Kate’s mom joins us for a few days, and our friends from Jamestown Boatyard in Rhode Island, Dave and Denise, make an appearance for some spirited sailing and fun in St. John.
