St. John, USVI (7.28.09)

We arrived with plenty of time to clear US Customs in St. John and motor around to Great Cruz Bay to meet our friend Jodie and her girls, McKinley and Riley (who were missing husband and Dad, Patrick and son and brother, Mitchell). We anchored on the west side of The Westin and motored in for lunch. Jodie had a spread waiting on us. Fun, fun!

Iguanas were walking around the resort and Harrison and I were able to feed one a French fry (my apologies to all of you wildlife rescue experts). This little guy seemed to like our culinary choice… he asked for seconds.







Jen, Mandy, Jodie and I took the kids to the pool, while GB and Andy took naps in the shade. Lloyd took the dinghy back to the boat for his nap (avoiding the crowds is his hobby), which complicated things when I wanted to grab a load of laundry for washing at the hotel. I had to swim back to the boat, which was not enjoyable in this marina! I could barely see my hand in front of my face, much less what was swimming around me. Where’s the water at White Bay when you need it?
