Great Trip and Report. I don't think it's a coincidence to find so many Michiganders ( and boaters) in the islands. We're from Saginaw and met our very good friends 4 years ago in ST John at the Beach Bar...I heard them mention their Screen Name and I told I was Bigcheeze...and they live 20 mins away in Midland...had 14 yr old teenagers and a yellow lab like us and surprise surprise liked adult beverages.

I'm sure your newbie crew was taken aback at the adventure they were really on. When we took 3 other couples out of TMM 10 yrs ago( has it been that long) I told them this will be the most adventurous vacation ever and it will take getting back to reality and looking at pics and videos to say" Wow we really did that"
