This was our day in St. Thomas USVI. We've done sailing trips 2 other times when we've visited the island and it's always the best time. We booked with Simplicity Charters again. Charlie, the captain and his first mate, Josh are awesome. We enjoy spending the day with them. This experience by far beats going on a cattlemoran (as they call it) with 50 people and cheap booze for only a couple hours.
Our sail started at noon

We stopped first to snorkel. Josh came with us. He has a marine biology degree so he's able to tell us what everything under there is. We saw a sting ray during our swim and then a sea turtle right after we got back on the boat.
This is the punch that inspired the infamous Powell Punch. We had this punch back in 2008 when we first went on the Simplicity. It's still a staple on their boat.
They made us lunch, grilled right on the back of the boat.
We hung on our water noodles for a bit...
then decided to sail around some.
Charlie took us to this beautiful area with the most gorgeous water. There wasn't another boat around. That's what I love about this experience. A cattlemoran wouldn't take you to a place like this.
We rode the dingy over to the beach and explored a bit.
6 hours later we sailed back as the sun was started to set. It was the most perfect day. If you ever visit St. Thomas look them up!
