Saharan Air Layer


Saharan Air Layer, originally uploaded by captainjay.

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 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.

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


Buck Island, originally uploaded by captainjay.

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


Magens Bay Trail, originally uploaded by captainjay.

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 :-)

Friday Beach Picture


I shot this one a month or two ago at Saba Island just south west of St Thomas. There is a hull from an old wrecked sailboat there, a rocky beach and a bird sanctuary.
