Ahhhh Antigua! One of the most beautiful islands out there! Lush and tropical, it has hundreds of empty beautiful beaches just waiting for someone to come and enjoy! We started our day doing the zip lines-- which were great fun but they do not allow you to take your camera. We then headed down to Carlisle Bay where we caught our catamaran. It was Regatta week in Antigua and we got to watch some of the sailboat races as we headed out to snorkel at Cades Reef. The wind was up that day (great for sailboats but it made the water extreemly rough). We then sailed around the island to a private beach where we ate lunch and hung out on an amazing beach before sailing back to our ship.

St. Kitts..... Gorgeous snorkeling! Love, love, love St. Kitts. We had a fabulous time!
My guys -- we have finished snorkeling and are sailing over to Nevis to have some fun on the beach!
Coral-- the coral was healthy and vibrant here!
They call these sea lilies! (the brown and white sea anenome looking thing).
I could have spend several hours exploring this reef system-- just gorgeous!
You can see the little yellow cleaner wrass in this photo. The bigger fish would come over and these little guys would go to work cleaning off parasites and dead scales.
The white things are Christmas Tree worms. When you move your hand over them they pop back into the coral. Wait a few minutes and they pop right back out to glean food from the water.
This guy is a trumpet fish. They hang out by the bottom waiting for fish to swim by overhead and then they eat them. This guys was about 3 1/2 feet long. Very cool fish.
