Three Sheets on the Rocks

A friend and I went searching for crashing waves from a recent north swell. We ended up wandering up a steep scenic drive and my favorite view of the day had nothing to do with big waves—the Carambola resort is stunning from above, its red rooftops dotted along a lush green canopy and surrounded by the turquoise sea. The property is currently undergoing much needed renovations and I can only hope they keep the red rooftops. Time will tell!

Fun fact - the beach and bay at the bottom left is where the final scene of Trading Places was filmed and why Dan Aykroyd is still sometimes spotted around St Croix.

“Looking Good Billy Ray!”
“Feeling Good Louis!”

Yesterday was the perfect day to hang at the beach. I’d planned on soaking in the sea, but instead I sat in the shade, visiting friends and losing at cribbage. I lazily launched my drone from the same shaded seat, later finally pulling myself out of my comfortable chair to stalk crabs. All in all, a successful day! 🌊🏖️🦀☀️

The water on St. Croix’s west side has once again calmed and last evening we watched squalls drifting offshore over the gentle sea. Today I’ll have to jump in! 🌊 🌅
