As my short travel log continues, our third port of call was St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. It was our favorite day on the trip. We took an excursion to Sapphire Beach on the northeast side of the island, and it made our day. The views were picturesque and postcard perfect. The sky was big, the sand cool and the water the most luscious aqua-marine. We found a palm tree, got our complimentary beach loungers and drinks and were close to paradise, for sure. I had to chuckle though. Nigel, our guide at the beach from Wales, said the water was 78°, and that was quite cool. I asked him if he had ever been swimming in Maine in July. He stated no, and I just had to smile!

Once you get into that water, you just become part of it, 78 degrees or not. It is spectacular. Here in Maine....toes in the water equals sweatshirt emergency.
ReplyDeleteSounds and looks like you're having a great time! But, being a Floridian, 78 degree water is really too cool to swim in!
ReplyDeleteI can see why it was your favorite so far on this trip. Looks idyllic. Wonder if your guide would like the Minnesota lakes' temperatures?
ReplyDeleteYup, they have no idea what cold water really is. Take a jump into Lake Superior and you'll know what cold water is. Nice shot.
ReplyDeleteAhh, a little corner of Eden, I think.
