1/25/15 Valkyrie leaves Water Island! We hauled the anchors and took a trip to St. John last week. Jerry and I walked from Lameshur Bay on St. John up and down the hills to an area where the Taino indians carved petroglyphs into the rocks around 950 AD. They are at an important site - a fresh water stream coming down from the mountain top. Here are some pictures.

Lameshur Bay, a day trip to Salt Pond Bay, and then on to Christmas Cove on the way to St. Thomas. At Salt Pond we went out to eat - we hiked up the hill to "The Tourist Trap". Many locals hang out here. The food was fabulous just as we'd heard.
Hiking, snorkeling, water color painting, relaxing.....a great way to
spend a couple of days before Kari had to be back at Water Island for
her job.
