check out the forstberg ruins before it's all developed...hardly a hike anymore ...Peace hill(windmill)...Reef bay trail with the parkservice is well worth the fee. the snorkling always has to to with the wind..windy on the north shore..go explore the south shore....Hope we can make it this year..ha...

we actually doubled up 2 big walmart velcro freezer bags $2 each and shoved it in our back pack...worked like a champ!

isn't this st. thomas near red hook?

I agree with Rick's rules....that being said 4 couples ...Yetch!...You did want a VACATION in coral bay, am I right?

yes..there are many ways to stress out coral in a lab..I have read many of the reports. I still believe that we can agree that careless and uninformed people walking on the coral with their rubber water shoes etc..is WAY more harmfull to the corals in st. john than sunscreen is to the great barrier ...

yeah, after looking a little deeper, I'd take this report with a large grain of salt. Basically it's easy to kill coral.

Yep!! here we go folks!! Sunscreen....The hidden killer.....Thanks to "science"(fiction) one "scientist" has has determined through a well documented(not)study why there is coral dying in the park (world) SUNSCREEN..the killer was right under(attatched to) our water shoes the who...

keep in mind this is one persons "scientific test" and has not to my knowledge been replicated in a real lab....

I think I'd just leave that up to them..and no not Tortolla...

st. john is somewhere between gilligan's island and paradise island....brunch... lemme check with the skipper... O.K. he says it's a PBR anda PBJ!!

are the north shore beaches covered in seaweed?

try Karen Baronowski(sp) with Windspree vacations..I think she is the one.. good person..

gas station/police station in coral bay

You're a great photographer! your pics made my day. Va. beach,va. is hot as hell again!!


thanks for the trip report!

we had to do this years ago and it sucked big time! Air travel these days are bad enough with good schedules. but starting out with that schedule = jet lag for a better word.
