Sorry about all the little chapters.May 8th.The early bird get his worm they say,so up @ 5:30 on the road by 6:30.Today is the Ram Head hike.No cars @ Saltpond,and I walked the trail to the beach.All to myself!Nice & cool,water calm.The trail wasn't all that bad,great view of Blue Cobblestone,and from Ram Head.I swear I could see the outline of ST.Crox from up there.Was I right?Again rugged beauty.I returned to Blue Cobbleston and snorkeled there.Not bad,interesting coral,fish.After that I snorkeled Salt Pond and people began showing up.I left for Haulover North.This one of my favorite snorkels.Man do I love this place!By now I was getting hungry,and that sad looking p.b.&j was not going to do the trick,so off to Skinny's.Great burger as normal,bought a tee shirt for my son and headed back to south Haulover.I love that place too!Tons of Conch today,nice coral,&fish.I spotted a turtle a followed him for a while.He was missing a right back flipper.I took some underwater pics of him thinking I would have some great shots,but none turn out.

I returned to Maho to rest my weary feet.The pic today is of this monster @ Caneel Bay,a few days before.He was the size of a small dog!

Gosh, Dan!
I think you do more in a day than I do in a week!
Nice to have met you, even though I felt like total crud...

Jim,it was nice to have met you as well.I had to ask at the gathering where you might be.Then I tracked you down and soon realized you were "under the weather" From the way you looked I was pretty sure it wasn't the brown bottle flu.I hope you perked up for the rest of your trip. Parafins {Dan}

You were right. That was St. Croix! Sounds like you had a great trip. How did you get around? Were you hitch hiking?

Got that right, buddy.
My entire left leg & foot was swollen & I was singing like Kermit, as far as "It's not easy Feeling Green"...- WAY WONKY...
I only wish it was a different situation, buddy.
I think something bit me...-
Amy, maybe...?
Great to have the memory of recognizing you just by seeing you, though, as lousy as I felt. I missed all you groovy forum folks...
We'll do it again!
Smiles-
Jimmy

The first few days on island I used a taxi and hitch hiked.I even used Rick G. one day!The last 3 days I rented a jeep so that I could explore the east end.I love the freedom of a Jeep! Parafins

Dan, we are reading your trip reports from the U.P. of Michigan, where it is cloudy and COLD! Great to read the adventures of another Michigander, hopefully we'll run into you on island one of these days (or if not maybe on 'the mitten' somewhere....)

I love the upper U.P.! My dad walks the bridge every Labor day since 1992.Lot's lighthouses,waterfalls,ect.I think we are a 6 hour dive to the bridge.I will do a final report on Tuesday.Parafins
