Travel day.
Moses took us to the Cruz Bay ferry dock, our last ride with him. I think we’ll miss him. He enjoyed surprising us with bizarre proclamations about humanity or fate or where our hearts really lie. He would pound on the steering wheel until we reacted, arguing when we didn’t say what he wanted.
The first ferry ride was about 45 minutes and uneventful. We went to the inside area for the air conditioning. When we disembarked we ran into a geology professor from Fort Collins and discovered that we had many acquaintances in common; it is indeed a small world! We left our luggage with the ferry people and went for lunch at the French Quarter Bistro during our 2 hour stay before the next ferry ride.
The next ferry was two hours of bouncing in rough seas. See how narrow the boat is? We were amazed that no one seemed to get sick. Don’t watch the video if you tend toward seasickness!
Finally we made it to St Croix, our final island on this journey. Gallows Bay was the site of public executions in Danish Colonial (1733-1848) times.
We got off the ferry and onto a taxi for a half hour ride to our hotel.
After a taxi ride from Gallows Bay, we arrived at the Carambola Beach Resort around sunset. We ordered a pizza and drinks for dinner. It was a bit surprising that the bar was sold out of local VI beer!
