May 12-16 Spanish Virgin Islands

We head for Culebra and stop at Cayo Luis Pena, a national park (land and sea). We spend the day snorkeling the protected reefs. The next morning, we dinghy around the point to the other side of the island and go to town for breakfast and a few provisions. It is a quaint place with small hotels and restaurants. We think the iguana signs are cute, then hear a splash as one drops in the water, swims over (who knew?) and crawls up the side. He snuck up on some Japanese girls. Hilarious.













Afternoon activities: naps and checking the mooring ball. You just never know if these are screwed into the sea bed (acceptable) or simply tied to a sunken engine block (not acceptable) until you look:

A most interesting draw bridge, Culebra and a food picture for Skip:

These look like a snake devil serpent swimming through the water:

The following day (Friday) we went to Culebrita while S/V Pacific Quest pushed on to St Thomas to meet a friend who is there crewing a super yacht. We are the only boat and have the anchorage to ourselves. We will head to St Thomas, USVI tomorrow.
