Wednesday
St. Thomas
Mom and I took a tour on a sailboat together and Rod went kayaking. Got all these shots from our sailboat.
There were 2 great guys doing the tour. The captain, Gar and Rob his crewman.
I really enjoyed myself, I love to sail. The guys were really nice, they talked to me and mom practically the whole trip. Mom sat in the back under the cover to try to stay out of the sun while the rest of us wanted more sun. The boat was really nice, it was 32 ft long. Single mast in great shape, and I loved it when we finally got to sail and started leaning over. Mom wasn't too happy about that but she lived through it.
More wonderful views from our boat.
There's quite the current and lots of rocks in the area so you really have to know what you're doing to sail around there.
There's the big hotel, Marriott I think, right guys???
That's Rob, sweet guy, and cute too. Mom waving, happily in the shade and the captain's sitting across from her steering. Mom had a great time talking to him, he was very knowledgeable and fun to talk to.
The water, oh, the water. We sailed out to Buck Island to snorkel, Rob led us around to show us the best sights and brought up stuff for us to see too.
I held a sea urchin, and a black feather starfish, I think that's what it was called, anyway, they were both very cool. We got to see a stingray, an octopus, lots of sand eels, tons of fish, starfish, and 2 green sea turtles. That was the best time ever for me, even though it was only my second time snorkeling. Rob made it fun and really knew his fish and stuff, it was very informative.
I only freaked out a bit when this pack of fish decided to swim up at the top by me and kept following me around. They weren't small fish either, about a foot long or more and had long pointy noses and were silvery blue. And no, I did not make them up, they're real and they had it out for me I just know it. It seemed the longer we were out there the closer the fish got. What's with that? Ok guys, anytime you can just fill me in. Hey maybe you guys could get some pics of some of what we saw and send them to me to put on my site. I'll give you credit and everything.
Me on "Shadow".
Back at the dock I wanted a few pics of me on the boat. That's our boat in the background too. You can see Gar and Rob on the dock here. Thanks for the great ride guys!!!!!!
What a life these guys have, I envy them. Good bye Shadow.
