Good morning St. Thomas! Another early morning for us as we got up to watch the ship pull into port.

After the ship docked we grabbed a quick bite to eat and then made our way off the ship to meet up with our friends David and Janie.

We opted to join them on a private sail boat excursion which would take us to St. John for a day of snorkeling and relaxation. I have never snorkeled and was somewhat nervous about it since I can't swim without plugging my nose. lol. The sail boat that we sailed on was called the Fantasy and it was a perfect day for sailing. We met our captain for the day and rode in the dingy out to the boat. Once we were all on board we set sail for St. John. We ended up anchoring in Caneel Bay which is a very popular resort to the famous. The resort was currently closed and under going renovations so we had the entire bay and beach to ourselves.
Our sail boat for the day.

David, Janie and I quickly became accustomed to the water and set forth for some under water exploration.

Eric took to the lighter side of relaxation and enjoyed wading in the water and just enjoying the serenity of the beach.
After what seemed like only 10 minutes but might have been an hour or so, we rode back to the sail boat for lunch and then to head back to shore.
After we returned to shore we grabbed a taxi back to port and called it a day on St. Thomas.
Back on board we just relaxed and enjoyed the company of friends before dinner.
After dinner we headed to the Dancin' in the Street show. This is a very good show, however I did find myself dozing off a couple of times but not because of the show, just because I was so tired from the events of the day.
Before we knew it, the night was quickly coming to a close and it was off to bed as we had St. Maarten to look forward in the morning.
