St. Lucia

 Saturday found us in St. Lucia in the Eastern Caribbean.  This stunning volcanic island features twin volcanic mountains knows as the Pitons.


Our adventure today was a catamaran trip along the western side of the island.  It included a couple of snorkeling stops and a sail past the Pitons.




Our first snorkel stop was not terribly exciting. There were few fish and not a lot to look at.









We had motored to this stop.  When we left, they unfurled the sail and let the wind provide a nice assist.



We sailed to the Pitons so we could get a view of these twin 2,000-foot volcanic peaks.







After that, we arrived at the second snorkel stop.  This made the entire trip worthwhile.  It was some of the most fun we've had snorkeling.  A lot to see - colorful fish, urchins, coral, and such.  It was terrific.












On the way back to our ship, we enjoyed the lush hills and subtle waterfalls.




St. Lucia is a beautiful island with several lovely resorts, included three Sandles resorts.  It looks like a nice place to spend a relaxing week.

Tomorrow, another day at sea while en route to Aruba.
