Charlotte-Amalie to Lindbergh Bay, St. Thomas, USVI

We still have a lot of work to do, so we decided to head back to Lindbergh Bay where we can sit on the boat all day and still get reasonable Internet connectivity.  It was a quick and uneventful trip to the bay.  We did the necessary “pump-out” task and should be set for a while.

We’re learning a lot about the Amazon features.  We’ve found a few issues in the stuff we posted online and have been trying to fix them.  It turns out, it takes 24-48 hours for the fixes to make it to the Kindle Store to replace the prior entry. We didn’t know that.  We’ve been redoing things several times wondering why the “fix” isn’t happening … Duh!!!

We will continue sending emails until the end of May.  If you’re interested in pursuing our adventure, we will be providing the link to the website OR you can already subscribe if you have a Kindle device.  (Amazon only offers blogs on Kindles.  You can’t get it through other E-Reader apps like Kindle for PC or Kindle for Iphone.  If they ever do, we will update accordingly).

If you are interested in our 2006 Bahamas trip or reading the book I’ve finally finished, you CAN get these with only an Amazon account and use them on either the Kindle devices OR by downloading the other free reader apps (for PC’s, etc).  If you do purchase either of these, your comments/critique would be appreciated.  Just like with sailing, I’m a student when it comes to writing and never to proud to ask for input.

So … as you can see, we are still in St. Thomas.  Much longer period here than we originally anticipated but we have ordered a bunch of stuff the was delivered to Carl’s (Larry’s brother).  He has now collected it all, repackaged it, and sent it to us.  Thank you every so much Carl.  Hate to admit this but … you’re the best!  It “should” be here Friday (tomorrow).  We’ve been told by all the locals NOT to expect it on time.  When it arrives, we finally get to continue our adventure and I promise, the updates will be a lot more interesting!
