Hello all,

I have posted pics from my trip with Rob from St. Thomas to Jost Van Dyke on my website:

www.malcolmschweizer.shutterfly.com

It was really nice having someone to paddle with, and it was a perfect trip. One trip and everything from glass water to 11-foot swells. One thing I got out of this trip was a realization of how much I have learned about the waters here. I was able to guide us around the swells using the cays to block the bad stuff, and I was kind of proud that all the currents that I planned to use were right where I planned them to be so we had a tail current most of the way. It really made me want to do this stuff full-time. Anyway, the pics are almost all taken by Rob on Linda's Olympus waterproof camera. I absolutely must get a WP camera. It was really nice to not have to worry about getting the camera wet. I kept mine below decks in a dry bag the whole trip and relied on the waterproof one. The pics, therefore, are the same one Rob posted to his Flicker account, but I put them on my site and tagged a little comment below each to tell the story of the trip. You can read the comments or just check out the pics.
