(Really I am just posting this to keep the blog alive because I think it disappears if you don't put a new post in for 30 days...)

We are happy to be home, and return with a new appreciation for our own beautiful spot on the planet. The Sir Francis Drake Channel and the views of St. John and the BVIs definitely compare favorably with Bora Bora and Moorea. Our water is the cleanest, clearest, bluest of all that we have seen.

Since we've returned we've had a lovely Easter celebration with John's parents and several friends from Switzerland and Jamaica, so the table languages included Italian, German, French, and Caribbean English. The food was good too!

We've even continued to travel...over to St. John for a few days to check on the rental property. Soft Winds has a brand new kitchen, and it looks great. I got to snorkel in Leinster Bay and Reef Bay. Leinster was full of surprises...lots of green, purple, and pink coral, and tons of baby fish. Two huge spotted trunk fish, and several healthy conch. Felt like I was surrounded by seahorses, but just couldn't see them....elusive little rascals.

Went into Reef Bay with the grom surfers, so it was a wild snorkel. Lots of tossing...spectacular coral. More exciting swimming than good snorkeling.
