I pronounce myself as the Sun master. On my 3rd trip to St Thomas, we had 10 days of fun in the sun and I didn’t get a single sun burn. And, I did it without putting any lotion on it’s skin. This is my master of the Sun pose:
The secret? It is a 3 part plan:
- Sunbath only on sharp pokey rocks (limits exposure time).
- When swimming midday, use fully body armor (i.e. a shirt).
- When Helen tries to coax you out from underneath the sun beach umbrella, defend yourself by slapping her on her sunburn to remind her of her foolish ways.
I had a work project that wasn’t quite done, so I called in to the daily team meetings.
To not make my teammates feel too jealous, I told them it was raining, but I think they saw through my ruse after 5 straight days of rain.
We actually had wonderful weather, with enough sun for 3 different wedding photo shoots. And plenty of lizard sunbathing:
We had great visits with Helens parents on the first weekend and Mom an Dad on the 2nd weekend.
No fish photos this time. I dropped my underwater camera in the deepest part of the bay on day 2, so it now swims with the turtles.
I did get pretty sunset photos though. This is Helen on her last evening swim:
And this is us on our way out. Based on his expression, I’m guessing our fellow passenger did not have as good a time as we did.
