St. Croix, Day 5

Today we went on a sailing trip over to Buck Island. We have heard it is the best place to snorkel here. Buck Island is a protected National Park. We rode on the "Flyer" catamaran there. First, we stopped on one side of the island and it was a beautiful white sand beach and the clearest water we've ever seen. Then we sailed over to the other side of the island where there was a huge reef that is several miles long. We went on the underwater snorkeling trail there. We took lots of pictures there with our underwater camera (pictures will be posted when they are developed). We saw lots of fish, coral, barracudas, and a stingray. We also saw sea turtles on our sail back to the resort.

Richard just barely got the sea turtle in the picture. We saw two of them and they were huge.

Tonight we went to dinner at Luncheria, a highly recommended Mexican restaurant. There were baby chickens running around under the tables trying to eat the food people dropped. Crazy!
