12/27/2010 in Florida

I am in Florida for the Holidays with the boat at the dock in St. Thomas at Crown Bay Marina.  The family had a great Christmas in Mt. Dora.  Nicki and I will fly down to St. Thomas for some more island cruising on January 11th.  Nicki does not have a return ticket yet, so she may decide she likes the warm weather.  Most of the pictures are from when Erin visited the Islands for a week.  I will post more when we return to the Islands, but they will be spaced out erratically.  Internet access is limited.

ST. Thomas, USVI

The crew has all gone home and Erin has arrived for a one week stay.  After that I go to Florida for Christmas and New Years and then back to St. Thomas with Nicki.

This is the crest of one of the large waves that helped push us to the islands.  As you can see the crests are far apart, but when in between crests you can not see anything but the front of one and the back of the other.

These are the motorcycles we rented to tour St. Thomas
