Arrived in St Thomas without any issues - the docking was quiet enough I didn't even wake up. :)
Around 930am we decided to get up and go on a bit of a walkabout - having been to St Thomas multiple times, there wasn't anything special I wanted to do today. Plus, they were swearing in the new Governor of the USVI today at 1030am over in town, so that was going to be a mess, even worse than the 4 ships in port!. Fun fact - the new governor has 71 grandchildren!
We got off the ship and checked out a few stores in the WICO (West Indian Company) dock area, and snapped some shots of the ships.
Here's Adventure of the Seas, she came straight from San Juan, PR. Chris and I figured out we've spent 30 days on that ship. That's another fun fact for you!
Our ship, the Celebrity Equinox was all the way at the back, which means I think we leave first. You can see the dock area was a bit wet, it had been raining pretty hard earlier in the day, but had cleared up nicely after about 11am.
It started to get a little warm and I needed to get these blog posts completed, when I discovered my fancy new camera does not like to play with my ipad, so until I figure out that mess, I won't have too many pictures, unless I email them to myself (like I did here) or I take the ipad everywhere for photos (which makes you look like an idiot while you are taking them, but I'll do it for you! when I can.
Also, our current location
More to come later! And hopefully can make some updates to the earlier posts as well.
Tomorrow, St Kitts!! 152 nautical miles, and we need an average speed of 15 knots to be there tomorrow at the pilot station by 630am. (the captain just told us this)
