After lunch, we decided to try CaptKirk's beach; Little Lameshur. Wow, the road really is pretty rough in spots.

Blaine sat this float out and read. Eventually, we packed up and headed home. We were on a really rocky area when we commented on how bad it would suck to blow a tire here, when we came across a stranded family of 7. They had rented from Avis on St. Thomas and something had happened to their transmission. Blaine and another guy tried to get it to work but couldn't. We tried to phone Avis but we had no service. I suggested we leave dad with the car, take the family and call for help when we could get a signal. Blaine spotted the look of panic on the wife's face and said "nah, we'll pile you all in our Explorer." And we did. BOY was it tight. Blaine drove them very VERY carefully back to their villa. They had been living in NYC and were spending 5 weeks on St. John before moving home to France.

Great sunset picture!
5 weeks on St. John before moving to France...now I am jealous!!

The rough road is worth every bit of Little Lamshur. That is our favorite too!

Great trip reports!

How lucky for those people you came along,hope they got the car fixed. Being in NYC, then 5 wks on STJ and now home to France. What a life !

Pics are wonderful and love Dickhead,knowing cats,he moved on very easily to the next group. Except for the leg scratching episode, must have been nice to have him there waiting for you everyday.
