st. john (again)
We're not done with the USVI just yet- this time it was back to St. John. We had quite the group of friend boats along for this trip around the island. I love when the girls can jump off the back of the boat and swim over to

back to st. thomas
We have mixed feelings about St. Thomas. The anchorage isn't always the most comfortable, it gets noisy being close to the city and you can't swim in the water... but then there are the almost nightly get togethers at the outdoor bar where the adults have

seven sisters
Today was the day to cross another waterfall off our list. We saved this for last because it is the hardest to get to. There are actually seven waterfalls (hence the name Seven Sisters), but three through seven are more difficult to get to. The path was pretty muddy and

beach and bingo
It was a beautiful day for a beach day. Last night we went to one of the other marina restaurants for dinner. Turns out Tuesday is trivia night. The girls really wanted to play... and surprisingly they are pretty good at it. Fun fact - Olivia named our trivia team

can't stand the rain
Fun fact - Grenada has two seasons: dry season (January to May) and wet season (June to December). It's not quite June yet, but the rain has started. We were cooped up for two days on the boat while it rained pretty much all day. As a bonus.

return to grenada
Do we stay, or do we go? That was the question this morning when we got up. We decided we were ready to head back to Grenada for the next couple weeks. It was a beautiful 6 hour sail. We've been pretty impressed with how well the girls

back to carriacou
We woke up this morning with no real plans. We decided the water was too rough to try to swim with the turtles again, so we dropped the mooring ball and headed on our way. Braden has had a fishing trip in Alaska planned for a long time. We knew

swimming with turtles
We did end up staying in Mayreau another day... and this trip to the beach we had the camera! Two things that have gotten a ton of use in the last month... (1) the paddleboard, and (2) masks and snorkels. So far all the islands we've been to
