Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate, so we do not have any photos of the partial eclipse to share with you this morning.
We had asked our friend Cheryl Geller over at The Tourist Trap to capture this unique event for us, but the cloud cover made it impossible to even catch a glimpse of the sun. For those of you who are not familiar with Cheryl, she is the queen of St. John sunrise photos. She and her rooster Buster take them nearly every morning. (Click here to visit Buster’s Facebook page where you can view the images.)
Here’s a picture of Buster this morning looking pretty unhappy about the weather:

Here’s a mobile movie that our friend Captain John over at Palm Tree Charters made in September during another bout of wet weather. It shows how the locals like to pass the time. Check it out:
