Trip report Jan 14-28
Posted: Fri Feb 10, 2017 11:46 am
This was our 10th trip to St John. We have traveled 9 times in Jan and once in June. This was my favorite trip so far.
We are weird in that we prefer the East and South Beaches and quiet places. We still love St John but have found it becoming too crowded in the last few years. We like to travel in Jan to get out of cold in Midwest.
We tried Virgin Gorda the last week and loved how non commercialized it is.Very layed back.We enjoyed it and will go back but next year St John still has our heart for 3 weeks.
We are pretty boring,Up at 6 watch sunrise and have coffee, go to beach at 0830, snorkel, find shade, read, go to second beach eat packed lunch, snorkel and stare at water and read. Go back to Angel Roost have cocktails and appetizer and spend time on deck listing to island music.To bed early.
Weather picture perfect. We were treated to liquid sunshine when we were unpacking jeep and then not until last day.It was windy the first 4 days. The snorkeling on South and East beaches was still good these days.Calm water sunny skies equal great snorkeling.
Snorkeling very good and clear most days. Favorite snorkels, Brown, Haulover North and rocks in middle at salt pond. We snorkeled more and longer than we ever had. Second year for Tribord snorkels and LOVE them. So relaxing and never fog up.
Food we ate in all breakfasts, most lunches and several suppers. Miss Lucy's grouper Reuben still a favorite and ate here twice. Indigo Grill ate here twice fish taco's, once for takeout. Caribbean Oasis honey pecan chicken and sides twice for carry out. I crave this mouth watering chicken. Zozo's for birthday everything was exceptional.
Camera's DC 10 died first day. Go pro 5 and old trusty Nikon camera D60.
