Entrance to Christiansted, USVI, is not well marked as is noted in the main text. Many buoys were displaced during hurricane Irma and have been replaced with either non-standard devices or not at all. The bifurcation marker is very hard to determine in any kind of seas. Locals report a grounding on round reef several times a year.

Update on clearing in at Christiansted. We had to go out to the airport to get both our passports stamped and have the boat cleared in. You cannot clear in at the wharf as the computer systems are not up and running there yet. The best is to call the airport st (340) 778 0216 to get the current clearing in the procedure.
It seems to be changing day to day as things come back online. When I called I told them I needed to clear in a private vessel. Try to get there before 4 pm. Immigration and clearing in the boat took about an hour but mostly due to the computer system being very slow.

St. Croix is EMPTY, come visit! I count 10 boats in the main anchorage, only 4 actual transients.
The island took a hit with the storms but the recovery work is underway and the spirit of the islanders is remarkable.
Provisioning, laundry, fuel & water readily available.
St Croix Yacht Club just got electricity up this past week – they are open for business!
