In the early AM tomorrow I'm dropping down to the USVI and sailing back to Maryland on a Baltic 47.  I'll be out of touch for a couple of weeks.  I'm scheduled to get into Oxford, MD on the 7th assuming the weather is not silly. 

:bigup:

I'm catching the boat at the US Yacht harbor in Red Hook on St. Thomas, but I'm only there for the night before we sail.

Have a good time, but watch out.  St. Thomas has not been the best area in the world for tourists.  The locals like to take advantage and a few tourists get shot or knived.  :'(

I've traveled a lot, and I've been worried 4 times.

Twice in the Philippenes, Once a guy with an M-16 got in the Jeepney with me, once when 3 guys with cane cutting knives (read machete) got in the Jeepney with me.  Stranded in San Juan and hitchiking across Puerto Rico and got a ride with 2 drunk guys in a jeep outside of a bar at 5 AM after one who actually spoke english convinced the other 3 that kicking my ass wanst worth the effort, and once when I was stranded in Havana with almost no cash left.

Unless someone decides to gun me down in the afternoon on the way to the marina from the Airport I should be OK.
