Alex and Cory sail their Supercat 15 from St. Thomas to Francis Bay, St. John, a 15-nautical-mile passage in 20–30-knot Christmas winds with 3-to-5-foot seas and noticeable current.▶ 6:31 St. John is a national park where anchoring is prohibited; mooring balls run $26 per night.▶ 10:10 The passage takes nearly three and a half hours.▶ 9:34 In St. Thomas, the crew explores Charlotte Amalie, visits Blackbeard's Castle (built 1679), and provisions at roughly $3.50 for bananas, $3.39 for celery, and $3.95 for a half-gallon of milk — noticeably more expensive than Puerto Rico, where they had stocked up earlier.▶ 2:20 Alex tries wing foiling for the first time at St. John, managing to wingboard without foiling.▶ 12:28 The BVI is visible from Francis Bay, and the crew plans to cross there within a week to compare food prices.▶ 5:26 Roads in Charlotte Amalie have no pedestrian shoulder, with blind corners and fast traffic; a local taxi driver gave the family a free ride rather than let them walk with children.▶ 0:38
