Re: Pic's Pics & Report - August 2016

Really enjoyed your trip report! It is almost like a identification guide, but with better pictures than any identification guide I have ever seen.

What is your favorite smoothie place?

We have been to STJ several times and have partaken of smoothies at Colombo's and Our Market Smoothies, as well as a couple other places. We are headed back in three weeks. We spend a lot of time on the North Shore and East End snorkeling, and it seems like Colombo's hours are hit or miss during the...

Suggestions on Dennis

Thanks, Kevin! I had seen where people had pointed to these buoy readings before, but you are the first one that provided information on how to interpret this data. Thank You!

Suggestions on Dennis

We have been to STJ several time, but only went to Dennis bay one time. It was very pretty, but when we got there the water was too rough to snorkel around the cay. We know to check for white caps by the parking area to determine if it is too rough to snorkel Waterlemon, but was wondering if there i...

Re: Share Charter in September and other September Questions

September is great, but when is it not great to be on STJ. We have been in September and twice in October. We really enjoy going that time of year. The beaches are even less crowded. The water is great. Yes, there will be some restaurants closed, but there will still be plenty open. Check out the St...

Re: Lawnchairs and snorkel mask

This is the building on your right as you walk off the passenger ferry. You will not meet two nicer people than the owners and th...

Re: HIGH SEASON DREAMING

We are low season people. We did go next to the last week of March last year (kids Spring Break). Things were definitely more crowed than any of our other 5 trips, but I am up for any week I can get there.

We are two weeks away from our 2nd May trip. Can't wait! Bags are already 90% packed... :D

Want Info on May 21st. Food Fair

When looking at the Festival schedule on the News of St. John website, it mentions "A Festival Food Sale Food Fair will kick off this year’s events on Sunday, May 21st at 1 p.m.".

We will be on island then and we would love to know more about this. Can anyone provide additional info?
