One final bye to the island of St. Croix!

That is the plane that just came in from Atlanta and is going to take us back. It is miserably cold and wet in Atlanta right now. You get an idea of it when you notice that the Atlanta based crew, taking advantage of the few minutes of rest between cabin cleaning and emplaning, simply decided to come out of the plane and sit or stand in the staircase to take in some sun!!

I did not realize that St. Croix is where the Cruzan rum is made. Got a local vodka too – Mutiny made from breadfruit. Finally, picked up a local spicy sauce bottle – Alvin’s for Sharmila.

That race car that seems to have mistakenly ventured into the waters is actually a boat. In this picture the “Jet Car” is in about ten feet deep water. It seats two, has an accelerator pedal, a steering wheel and a shift for forward and reverse gear! That wheel looking things are not wheels at all.

Talked to the guy who rents out two of these. Born in St. Croix, he grew up in Maryland and moved back to the island to start a water adventure business.

Looked very cool. Unfortunately, I did not have enough time left in the day to try one of these out!
