Day 2 / Day 3

Tuesday we sailed from Bahamas to St. Thomas.  We were at sea all day.  We sat by the pool, relaxed, napped, ate, relaxed, sat by the pool, and ate, not necessarilly in that order. The cruise line has the Dreamworks Characters appear from time to time on the boat, so we got some pictures with the folks from Madagascar.

I couldn't get this guy, whatever his name, to turn around so that I could get his face.

On Wednesday, we were in beautiful St. Thomas.  On the way in, we saw some seabirds that were flying by the ship, and then would suddenly dive down 10 or 15 feet into the ocean, and come up with a fish. 

We boarded a "Pirate Ship" and sailed out to Turtle Cove.  The snorkeling was completely different than snorkeling in Hawaii. 

The crew were a little crazy.  On the way back, they tried real hard to give as much rum as possible to the passengers.  Kayleen and I declined.

The water was warmer and clearer, the coral was different, and the fish were smaller. We got some pictures of a Manta-ray, some small turtles, and some different kind of fishes. 

 St Thomas was a very friendly island.  Of the three we visited, this would be the one I would like to go back to to see more of the sights.
