It was a rough ride from St Thomas just the eight short miles across Pillsbury Sound to Lameshur Bay on St John. With the wind gusting 25+ and the bow being buried so deep in waves the anchor disappeared, only to come up the next wave and we would look UP to the bow.
None of that mattered after we arrived. The water was the prettiest we have seen in the US and we had great protection from the 1,000ft hills close by. There were only three other boats in the mooring field and we were quite content.
They even had an NPS dock so Kala didn't have to be a law breaker and touch the beach. We proceeded to explore, hiking and snorkeling, all around.
The only thing I'd change about Lameshur is the name - it should be called Rainbow Bay. We saw so many and they were so bright...sometimes even double rainbows! How can that not make you happy?

| Single rainbow…we couldn't believe how beautiful it was! |

| Double Rainbow - right over Terrapin. When we're having a tough moment, this will be my happy place. |

Spectacular rainbows, both the single and the double. We're pleased you enjoyed Lameshur as much as we did last year. It's a very special place. We miss you!
