No internet for a few days, so a short blurb of each day all in one entry. It's 6:30 right now, so I may do another entry after todays activities.
11/29/09
Be brave, I told myself as I turned onto the street on the Left side of the road! It’s not that bad, just have to keep saying to myself “stay to the left, stay to the left.” The hardest move is making a right turn onto another street. I naturally want to go to the right side. I went to town twice and am still here.
It is nearly impossible to walk anywhere from the motel because the area is so hilly. I’m winded just walking to the main lobby! I am just a few feet from the beach, and the room overlooks a picturesque cove. There’s a small restaurant/bar on the beach where I had lunch yesterday.
I got my sunscreen and am ready for the beach tomorrow. I’m not gonna lay on the beach, but the water is about 80 degrees, and crystal clear, so my plan is to snorkel all day. (Well, maybe not the whole day, but until I tire of it!)

I got my snorkel gear for the morning. Swam from Fungi’s to Sugar Beach. Check out the pictures, that’s the whole beach. Two lawn chairs and some sand, but there was no one there so I used one of the chairs and watched the world go by for 45 mins or so. I took a route back to Fungi’s that was closer to shore. That’s where most of the fish are, come to find out. It was almost like an aquarium there were so many fish.
Kenny, Chelsie, and I are going out to dinner tonight in Red Hook down by the marina somewhere.

Got my personal tour (and sail)on the Winifred today! She’s a beautiful vessel and the crew is outstanding! We sailed out of the harbor to someplace I can’t remember the of and anchored for awhile and went snorkeling. Seems like it doesn’t matter where you go, there are always fish to see. We had lunch before the kids had to go back to work. ( I think all three of us were about to fall asleep from the time out in the fresh air and the snorkeling.)
Winifred goes in for (minor) repairs tomorrow. Hoping all goes well.
12/2/09
Took it easy today. I did have a job though. Picked Chel up at the marina and took her to her car. She was excited that work had already started on the boat.
I went snorkeling again right here at the resort, Now ready for a nap! I really enjoy the snorkeling, but after a couple hours of that, I’m pooped! There are several things I would like to check out before leaving St. Thomas, but the fish peeping has really become a favorite, so that has priority! (I still haven’t seen the “best” beach on the island.)
