Sailing
            into St Croix harbor              | 
          
        
           | 
           | 
        
        
           | 
           | 
        
        
           | 
          We
            walked across the causeway  | 
        
        
           | 
           | 
        
        
          To
                meet our excursion crew              | 
          
        
           | 
           | 
        
        
          and
                set sail to 2 snorkeling areas              | 
          
        
           | 
           | 
        
        
           | 
           | 
        
        
           | 
           | 
        
        
           | 
           | 
        
        
           | 
           | 
        
        
           | 
           | 
        
        
           | 
           | 
        
        
           | 
          First
                a beach where we could test our equipment  | 
        
        
           | 
           | 
        
        
          and
                receive some instruction if necessary              | 
          
        
           | 
           | 
        
        
           | 
           | 
        
        
           | 
           | 
        
        
          Finally
                further out into the ocean to the "Buck Island National Monument"              | 
          
        
           | 
           | 
        
        
          We
            saw lots of colorful fish and coral.  
            There were even signs on the
                bottom  
                describing the type of coral we were seeing  | 
          There
            aren't any pictures of me in the water with my gear  
            but I thoroughly
                enjoyed completing the entire trail  | 
        
        
           | 
           | 
        
        
           | 
           | 
        
        
          A
            great but blurry reminder of a great day  | 
          Goodbye
            to Buck Island  |
