The beach was beautiful and the water warm and waveless. We had our chairs, umbrellas and buckets of local beers so there really was nothing to complain about. We are just so used to being by ourselves, relatively speaking. However, having a bunch of people does make it easier to play beach games. One of our favorites is "who is wearing the most inappropriate swim wear". We will be judging the winners after our last port of call, so stay tuned for some fun photos (viewer discretion advised)!
The other night was the Deck Party and Fruit Event!
Curiuos combination, but it seemed to work. Pascal the Executive Chef was a big hit in the dancing.
We did hope that the ship's doctor was standing by--just in case!
St. Martin is 37 square miles divided into a French section (21 square miles) and the Dutch section (16 square miles). We docked in the heart of the Dutch section and took the water taxi to the town.
We probably could have walked, but with our recent experience, we decided to blow $6 each for an all day pass.
The men plopped themselves on the first batch of beach chairs we came to and Francie and I went shopping.
Conveniently the shopping street runs parallel to the beach just one block inland.
Without men dragging along we could be quite efficient and managed to boost the local economy and be back in time to have beer while it was still cold.
I know I speak for many when I say that it doesn't get much better than this--sitting on a chaise, cold beer in hand, looking at the blue water, eating a Brie and Bacon panini while having an Aloe leg and foot massage! Francie almost started a war when she agreed to have one woman do her massage and didn't realize that we had already been claimed by Keisha, who had seen us first! Once we got that sorted out, it was fine. We both loved it, but you do end up a bit sticky!
