Trip Report part 4 (with lots of pics)

Friday, June 5th
I was up very early, so I made sandwiches, painkillers, and Pia's skeeters to take to the beach today. We packed several coolers, smaller ones to take to Leinster/Waterlemon, then a bigger ones for the afternoon. Our house was pretty much the earlier group, so we parked at Annaberg and hiked to Leinster Bay.
While snorkeling around Waterlemon Cay, we saw Angelfish, Parrotfish, Blue Tang, turtles, and various corals.
There was a starfish bed and more turtles near the beach.
We had some painkillers and cheese and crackers before hiking back to our jeeps.
We met the rest of our group at Francis Bay, ate our sandwiches and spent the afternoon there. There were conch and sand dollars around the right side, towards Mary Point. We floated and hung out the rest of the day there.
Down the beach from us was a group of younger people (maybe college aged) playing a game on the beach similar to corn hole. They were very nice and invited us to play too, which some of us did. One of them said, "We want to be like you all when we grow up." ...or when we get old, or something like that.(ouch)
We went back to the villa to decide what to do for dinner. This took a while. It was late and I was done, so I went to bed. Some of our group left to grab a burger at Skinny Legs and had a little crisis. I woke up around midnight and heard something going on in the kitchen. I went to see what was going on. Evidently there was a dehydration issue while they were at Skinny Legs that included a run to the medical center. It was a little scary for them at the time, but everything turned out fine.
Next up ... BVI trip with Flyaway Charters.

Every time I look it's a new TR. Great pictures! 
How did the "newbies" take to STJ? Bayer wants to know how you did carry-on only? Did you mail anything? What about snorkel gear? Tks!
