On Wednesday we went on an all day BVI adventure boat trip with the Bad Kitty.

It was a great day visiting The Baths, which Don and I visited many years ago.  We also had a snorkeling stop on Norman Island and a lunch/beach stop at White Bay on Jost Van Dyke.  White Bay is a beautiful white sand beach with crystal clear water but it\’s pretty much a party spot.  Lots of boats pulled in right to the beach to get one (or many) of Soggy Dollar\’s famous Painkiller drinks.

Quinn had a very funny moment on the trip.  We were sitting on the top deck of the boat and his hat went flying in to the water.   We insisted it wasn\’t necessary, but the captain was determined to get the hat.  He considered it \”man overboard practice\”.  Quinn was feeling pretty embarrassed while it was going on because everyone cheered when the hat was recovered.  But now Quinn thinks it was pretty funny.

Our day…

After Don and I had our day snorkeling adventure we grabbed Quinn, picked up some dinner, and headed to one of our favorite beaches…Maho Bay for sunset and dinner.

Maho is such an amazing place to watch the sunset and the bay is full of active turtles and rays feeding in the seagrass at this time of day.  As soon as we got in the water we came upon a HUGE turtle with multiple remoras hanging on it\’s shell.   We probably saw 10 or more turtles and a couple of rays.

Quinn is really into skipping stones and found the perfect stone that he sent back and forth and is sitting on his bedroom dresser right now.

The sunsest was not your typical red blaze of glory but was a beautiful lavender blue.  I did a time-lapse but I\’m still figuring out the GoPro so it\’s a little wonky.

But our sunset at Maho was perfect.

Quinn made his first trip to STJ when he was about 18 months old.  I\’m not sure how this happened but I found a babysitter for him and she has watched Quinn on every trip down to STJ.

Today we left Quinn with Crystal from 8 am – 4 pm and went on an adventure.  Our goal is to go to snorkeling spots that require a bit of a hike or have a challenging (for him) swim. 

We left with a snorkeling plan however the power workers replacing all the poles and blocking the roads had a different plan.  But we still hit three of our favorite spots and had a great day.
