This is what's causing all the haze. Can you see the huge "blob" over the Virgin Islands? Crazy. But I like that it keeps the storms away. Oh wait, I think I already said that previously. :-)
The good the bad and the details. We are moving to St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. We will try to keep a rambling record for anyone that ever dreamed of giving it all up and moving to the Islands to learn from or just laugh at.

Crazy Hazy
The Saharan Dust has taken over the Virgin Islands. It is so hazy out I can barely see past my deck railings. It's not very pretty but it keeps the storms away so that works for me.

Off to Puerto Rico
Dropping Jay off at CYOA early this morning. The staff are taking the last group of boats over to Puerto Rico for the season. Then they get to clean, bottom paint and do repairs. Hope they have a safe trip and good weather :-)

Buck Island
We ran away from the rain on St. John and found some sun at Dog Island. Then headed over to Buck Island just off St. Thomas. We had a nice afternoon of snorkeling and hanging out with friends. A nice way to spend a Sunday :-)
STJ lunch
Headed out on the boat after Jay did some work on our mooring, with a little help from a friend :-). It was pretty calm out so we headed to St. John to get some lunch. It was sunny the whole way until we made it to STJ. Hopefully the rain holds off until we make it back :-)

Magens Bay Trail
I walked the trail at Magens Bay this morning with my coworkers. What a great workout! It's a trail thru the nature preserve. Part is just a trail cut thru the trees, part is a wooden walk way, the rest is up hill, over rocks and natural steps. It comes out on Magens bay road way up at the top. Then you turn around and go back down. Afterwards we went for a swim to cool off. Ahhhhhh
We're going to try and do this on a regular basis. I hope we do :-)
