14 March 2013

We captured six animals today: 3 male mongoose, one Norway rat, a land crab, and an unidentified beast (see image below). Two of the male mongoose were recaptures from July 2012 and one was a recapture from March 2012.

Unknown creature trapped on Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge.

We visited Point Udall after lunch before visiting Christiansted. We hiked to the water where Brad was surprised by a rather large wave that sent one of his sandals out to sea. Although the next land mass going east from St. Croix is Africa (if you squint really hard and use your imagination, you can see it), the currents may deliver his sandal back to his home on Natucket in time for summer!

Man, where did that wave come from?.

Where is my right sandal?
