Our stay in St Thomas was lovely and the night view from the hotel spectacular.

I'm glad we spent a couple days there. The trip from St. Thomas via Speedy's Ferry was uneventful and yes we managed to be greeted by rodent fecal pellets upon opening the hatchway of Kolibrie. Two years in a row now! They looked like they were having fun in the underwear drawer while we were gone. What's with these rodents! We've never had a problem with them or bugs! Now twice in a row we've had Mickey Mouse's relatives come to visit and party.
     I bought poison and sticky traps for the little guy. He did manage to get stuck on the trap but then escaped from it before I could catch him. He never hit it again but did make off with a poison pellet. I discovered him in my clothes closet when I kept smelling something most foul everytime I went to lay down to read. The smell tracked him down and he is no more...  We're in the same place in the boatyard as last time - sheltered by a building where there was very little breeze while we were working or sleeping. So we figured the 4 legged critter must have remembered us and came to investigate again. It sounds like several other boats we've talked to have also been visited too.
     Azaya (friends we met along the way from Alaska) is a boat away from us. It looks like the boatyard had a boat between us that has since been put in the water and it's nice to see her yellow hull when I look out the portal. She's in the breeze, but we're in the protection of the building so no breeze for us while we work!

Someone left a yanmar box (not ours) that makes a handy table while we work on the boat.
