Thanks! :) Hi TR- when I submitted the post, it was done in MS Word, and had breaks between paragraphs. Didn't realize it formatte...

Re: CA ferry vs. RH ferry?

We took Red hook on the way into STJ, and took CA on the way out. I didn't notice any difference. We enjoyed the longer boat ride on the way in. A smart thing we did was to get our 1st night in the Cruz Bay Boutique Hotel, so we wlaked off the ferry, had a drink or 2 at the Beach Bar, and wlaked ove...
