Sunday, March 14 - St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands:

Boarded the Legacy at 5:00pm, had a rum swizzle at 5:01pm! After the check-in stuff was complete we had dinner and then a band came on board to play. We danced and swizzled until about midnight and then turned in. Our two crew buddies from the Christmas cruise on the
Polynesia were there; Nick the dive mate and Destin the "Photo Mon". Also Popeye and Country, the bar guy we have sailed with before. If you get a chance find the deck hand named "Bigga" He is just the nicest guy, and have Popeye make you an ankle bracelet!
Monday - St Thomas and Water island:
Up early for bloody marys and sticky buns every day. Sailed to Water Island for the day. Stayed on board and hung out. Great time to start meeting our fellow sailors. Had an evening sail to St John.
Tuesday - In St John: I recommend you take the island tour($25) and you get to see almost all the island as well as a snorkel stop at a popular beach that has a snorkel trail. The nature guide, "Thunder Hawk", gave a nice story about the islands on board ship before we headed into town for dinner. I highly recommend The Fish Trap for dinner and Duffy's Love Shack for dancing'. Half the ship was there, including some of the crew!
Wednesday - Off to Tortola, British Virgin Islands:
Searching for supplies to build our cargo ship, hint: take some duct tape, string, and a plastic bag for a sail.
Our ship "THIS SIDE UP" won last week. Take the catamaran tour to Peter Island. Great sailing and fantastic snorkeling, you'll see lots of fish, sea turtles etc. St Patty's day, Sea Hunt, Miss Windjammer contest, and P.P.P. dress up night. PARTY!!! Guess who won? St Patty Pirate and a Purser look-alike!
Thursday - Virgin Gorda: THE BATHS! Don't bother taking a ship tour. Go early!! A $3.00 taxi p/p takes you there.

It's a hike down to the beach so wear teva's or sneakers to get there.
The trail goes off to the left at the beach, TAKE IT! You'll really like where it takes you. After you have had your fill of the Baths, I suggest you go to Mad Dogs at the top of the hill and have a Shrimp sandwich and possibly the best Pina Colada in the islands! A $3.00 taxi back to the marina and get a bottle or two of wine to take back to the ship for the wine and cheese party! Evening sail to Norman Island. Went to the Pirates Bar for drinks and dancing late! Note: Every other week the ship goes to Jost Van Dyke instead of Norman Island.
Friday - Norman Island:
Snorkel tour to the Caves and Indians, Amazing Grace resupply ship visit. Lunch at Pirates and Sea Trials. Crab races and captains dinner. Late evening sail back to St. Thomas.
Saturday, March 20 - St Thomas:
Back at the dock in Crown bay; Trip over,,, BOO HOO.Up early, Packed, Ate breakfast , and then headed into town for some last minute shopping. Back at the ship at noon for lunch and then, goodbyes said; we headed for the airport and home. We are already looking into when we are going barefooting again!
