"Love City" doesn't make much sense as a nickname for St. John, only because it's the opposite of a city in every way.
Today we had the absolute pleasure of welcoming aboard a multi-generational family and their friends, ten in all, visiting from the northeast.
We made our first stop for fantastic snorkeling at Lovango Cay, and the plan was to get to the world-famous Limeout floating gourmet taco bar, all the way in Coral Bay, on the far southeast corner of St. John.
It's a long trip and some days, the wind and seas don't make this a viable part of the itinerary. But as luck would have it, the conditions were perfectly mild and conducive for this long of a trek for the best tacos anywhere!
We all enjoyed the sightseeing along the way as we circumnavigated the island known as Love City, passing some of the most remote and scenic parts of the island. As we all got to know one another along the way, it became clear why these folks were so happy to be vacationing together.
We picked up the mooring closest to the floating "lillypads" at Limeout, and everyone made the stone's throw voyage either swimming or paddleboarding. Even Lydia joined them, and she literally gave the "Beach Charters VI" crew "shirt off her back" to one of our new friends, who was starting to burn despite all of the sunblock.
The rest of the trip was downwind, under sail, under the loveliest of conditions, and we made one more beautiful snorkel stop at Little Lamshure Bay, along the way.
I felt like I was part of this amazingly fun family by the end of the day, and I know we will see at least some of them again. This is what puts the love in "Love City!"
Always a fantastic boat day in the Virgin Islands with
