On our first night we ate at Aqua Bistro where we saw this very bright full moon over Coral Bay.




The next morning in Maho Bay, I was startled to see a nurse shark swimming a foot below me so I followed him to his lair where he tried to hide.



Each day was spent at a different beach like Denis Bay or Trunk Bay



or Salomon Beach



and we snorkeled at each one. Sights include a barracuda



southern sting ray



or octopus.



One day we sailed out to Newfound Bay on the East End



where we saw spotted eagle rays



and made a snorkel stop at Flanagan's Island as well. I saw this turtle near Whistling Cay in Francis Bay.

were photographed on inauguration day for a new democratic president. We hiked to Brown Bay and also snorkled in Hansen's Bay on the East End that day. Two ladies came by excited after hearing Obama's inaugural address and told us all about it before hopping into the bay. Obamamania definitely infected the island. That night, at Skinny Legs, instead of sports, CNN was playing on the flat screen TVs. The special drink was bye-bye-Bushwhackers made with raspberry which we ordered with our burgers. The next day at Cinnamon Bay
