Thanksgiving, Island-Style



For the 8th year, we have spent Thanksgiving in St Thomas visiting our good friend Marty. This time we also had the pleasure of meeting his lovely girlfriend, Joan. We had a delicious (and huge!) turkey dinner at the Toad and Tart restaurant on Thanksgiving night.



The next morning we went on our traditional boat ride: Cap'n Marty's Island Hop. We meandered around the U.S. and British Virgin Islands and spent some time at the ever-wild Willy T floating restaurant enjoying some beverages (and visiting our favorite irreverent bartender, Zeus). Later we swam ashore to the Soggy Dollar Bar for some of their signature Painkillers. After the Island Hop, we enjoyed a dinner worthy of Anthony Bourdain at the Old Stone Farmhouse.



The remainder of the trip was filled with swimming, snorkeling, and general r&r. On Monday we went to Coki Point Beach, a fun and funky beach where both locals and tourists enjoy sun and snorkeling. Once again, we stayed at Secret Harbour Resort, in the East End of the island. The beach there is great for snorkeling and watching the sunset.
