I was planning Wednesday morning to try out my aerial kite photography rig on the beach, but the saltwater that thoroughly soaked us on the day before destroyed the CVS “disposable” digital camera. It would turn on but then emit woeful beeps and Windows warned me that the USB device was out of spec. Oh well — I’ll try to get another camera and give this another shot soon.
We decided instead to have a leisurely breakfast then head out for an afternoon of kayaking. The resort had a half-dozen kayaks available for checkout so we took a two-seater into the bay. This is a fun way to spend an hour, but we’d have done well to remember this rule: start out against the current, so you can just coast back to the launching point. Our trip back was exhausting.
After a few hours of relaxing seaside, it was time to make dinner plans. The Terrace at the Buccaneer hotel is a highly rated restaurant, and for good reason. There we enjoyed a four course meal on the veranda overlooking a bay and the lights of the Christainsted harbor. The food was excellent and service unmatched: a great place to spend our last night out.
Thursday morning we headed out to the airport, and arrived on time despite the unreliabile cab service. One long flight back to Baltimore and we were home. It is good to be back, but I won’t complain if I find my way back to the island some day.
