Our pilot told us that this island "points" to San Juan. Or maybe it was Barbados.

We went on a Cessna tour of the islands. Our pilot told us that this island “points” to San Juan. In this picture, we’re flying north. If you took off from San Juan and flew due north, this is what you’d see right after kicking yourself for missing the airport in Frisco.
