Day 1: October 19, 2008 - St. John
 Next Day
 

Today was about scheduling and settling in. We went to the Ranger station to find out what is happening on the island. All the trails are open and we even learned a bit about the trail bandit - a person who is now working with the park service to create a few more trails on the island.

Then we stopped by the Starfish Market and provisioned the villa. Suddenly it was noon and we were due at the sales office for our owner's update. We were pushed and prodded but still didn't upgrade our villa.

We got lunch from the Mango Deli and after a little break went down to Hawkesnest to swim and snorkel. We worked our way down to the far end of the beach and started our search for life. Immediately we were surrounded by thousands of tiny bait fish. Then flashes of silver as barracuda and jacks sliced through the smaller fish scattering most and snapping up a few.

Dinner: Rhumb Limes - spicy Thai style. Very good!
