Back from St. Thomas



This catamaran was home for the first 5 days of our trip. Two of us (not Don or Kyle!) found out that we get seasick, but only when going against the waves! Fortunately that didn't last too long. Our captain was so fun and knew just where to take us. On the first day out he dove down (no tank...just free diving) about 30 feet and yanked this lobster out of its hole. Huge! About 11 pounds, so we had a free lobster dinner on board that night.





Probably the highlight of our trip was visiting the Baths on Virgin Gorda. It's a beach with huge boulders and seawater pools that flood through them. Lots of places to climb and crawl through.






After sailing for 4 days, we went back to St. Thomas to finish up the week. The last night we ate at a restaurant that overlooked the harbor...what a view!



So are all back in Texas (& Arkansas!) after our trip to St. Thomas. We are glad to be home but miss the views!
