Salt Pond St John

Last night we stayed in salt pond bay. We swam, snorkeled, then hiked up to a little resort and had a drink. The beach was beautiful and snorkeling was great. There were so many fish. We are still waiting to meet Mr. B, Gail's 4 foot "pet" barracuda who visits her almost every week here!!
Hiking trail was great
The cactus has a tree trunk!
The view from top of hike was beautiful.


At night we had delicious meal on the boat and then sat under stars.  Billy used the boat swing.

British Virgin Islands

Yesterday we went to Tortolla and then sailed to Norman Island and moored overnight and had dinner at a very nice restaurant on the beach.  Today we sailed in the ocean and came back to St John and are staying overnight.  We are all getting better at running the sails. We have passed 3 courses and tests so far with 1 to go!! 

Dinner last night on Norman Island was fabulous!!
