Spanish Virgin Islands

[N18d05:50, W065d27:38]

We arrived at Vieques this morning at 8:00 am. Vieques is sometimes called la Isla Nina (daughter Island)- referring to it's relationship with the larger island of Puerto Rico. We had a beautiful night motor sail from Ponce. This evening we plan to visit a bioluminescent(phosphorescent) bay. They say the water splashes up in a burst of millions of lights as if fireworks were sent up from the depths. They say as you glide through the water you develop and eerie glow and when you resurface, thousands of sparkling lights remain on you for a brief moment. We can't wait. We will tell you all about it.
