Later I did the Dragon's Tail coaster which I did very slowly.



They let the guy behind me go around again.

Did not see any lighthouse or ATON type structures.

Today we were in Samana, Dominican Republic and we went whale watching. I saw a couple of things which might be lighthouses - they were like the ones we saw on San Andreas Island





We also saw a mother and baby whale and watched them for a good amount of time

The lighthouse was operating.

Later I took the free trolley up. There were people flying kites. It looks like they are repainting the lighthouse pink. The trolley went all the way to the fort entrance.



As we left I took some more pictures.





The lighthouse did not seem to be operating at this time. Maybe it is only working in the dark.

I've put 44 of the best ones up on Picasa El Moro

Today we were in St. Thomas



and we took a ferry to St. John



On the way back we passed Water Island where I did the BOB trip before. At that time I was only able to get this very unsatisfactory photo of the lighthouse on the island



So I tried again



and I think these are a little better



But it is very difficult to get the lighthouse in the center when you are zoomed all the way out and the boat is bouncing like a trampoline
