St Thomas US Virgin Islands


We have never really sailed on a sail boat. The closest we ever got to sailing was being on Tom and Kathy's boat when they went to dump the holding tank at the marina. So when we got a chance to sail on the racing yacht and actually be in a race ( really a mock race with one of their boats) we jumped at the chance.

After showing us how to work the wenches and grinder we had our small race. What a blast! We worked hard, I'm just glad the crew was there to help us. It is very apparent that things happen very quickly so you have to be ready.

In St Thomas there are more jewelry stores then bars. Every nook and cranny has a store of some kind so the shopping is "off the hook" tax and duty free. My kind of place.

About Us

We are the Newhard Family from sunny So Cal. We have started this blog because our family is getting bigger and more "far flung" then we were before.

Our son Tim and his wonderful wife Cheri live in Utah. We welcomed our first grandchild.  Porter Maxwell Newhard was born on 6/26/08.  He is absolutely precise!

Our daughter Jenni and her excellent husband Hugh live here in Camarillo.  They just bought their 1st place in Mission Oaks.  It is very cute.

There are so many wonderful things going on in our lives, we are truly bless. Hopefully this blog will help keep our extended family , who live all across the country, informed on what is going on with us.
