I was amused to see Jason's hand signal in his underwater picture. As you know, Matthew, Austin, and I are avid SCUBA divers, and we use a lot of hand signals underwater to communicate. Some years back we decided that our repertoire lacked the ability to say "cool", as in "that fish was cool" or "this is a cool dive". So we made up our own signal, which I have since passed on to some of my SCUBA students (I'm a semi-retired scuba instructor). What was the hand signal we use for "cool"? You guessed it... look at Jason's picture. And it definitely seems to fit the picture and situation, doesn't it!
Sounds like you had a wonderful time! We've only been to St Thomas/St John one time, but we loved it too!
I'm enjoying your blog! It's the only one I follow regularly!
