Re: Stinging Plankton???

Just back. Got stung maybe 20 times altogether over the whole trip. Zero redness swelling or mark of any kind. Pain lasted a minute, maybe less. Worst was Francis. To tell you how bad it was (wasn't!) we chose to go back to Francis a couple of times during our stay. I'd go back today!!

Re: Trip report 12-30-2014 - 1-7-2015

Nice TR, thanks! Taking a taxi to go 1/2 a block is indeed funny! I like how you said your trips are never the same. That's our experience too. Some trips I don't snorkel while others you can barely get the mask off my face!

We have never tried the Terrace. Good place??

Re: Cinnamon Bay Campground?

I dont have any info on the lease (I'd be interested to hear!) but did just stay in a baresite and all was much the same as in the past few years.
Great beach, clean bathhouse, nice site for my trusty tent.

Re: Seaweed in the VI

Hiked to Solomon and Honeymoon today, December 10th. Seaweed in the water was heavy in certain clumps but you could swim past it. Seaweed on the sand was two feet wide and stretched the length of the beach. Also at Haulover North the water was FULL of it and lots on the beach. By the Beach Bar someo...

I have a St John problem.....

Last April I went to St John like this: Hey, wouldn't it be great to go to St John? Google search for ticket, find a cheap fare, click purchase, fly out the next evening. This time when Temporary St John Insanity struck I at least came away with two weeks to pack and organize. :) Can anyone tell me ...
