Thanks for rubbing it in because you're in SXM and we're not. Keep having fun though and rub it in some more.
Next SXM visit -November 2023. Also January 2024.

It is down in Philipsburg. Between town and the cruise ship piers. Dock Maarten.
Good breakfasts too! Great happy hour.

The_Lurker said: A great day at Orient. Had lunch at the old Baywatch. Margarita Shrimp and Grouper sandwich. The sandwich was not the same--things change. Ended up with a BBC for lunch!!! The water was so warm---beautiful! I know no one is going to read these updates attached to the 1st report--especially since Pat is posting now! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> I'm here and I have to read hers!!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> Can't speak for anyone else but this gal's both reading and enjoying your up-dates. Please don't stop as IMHO it's always nice to know what someone else is doing and what they're enjoying - or not enjoying for that matter. Did you get my PM the other day? Hope we can still touch base at some point. How long are you here this trip? And glad Rit was okay.....I got tossed in a huge wave years ago and it scared the day lights out of me. So much so that now I won't even go near the water's edge when the winds are blowing and the swells are churning the waves.
Respectfully,
pat

Back again--last night was dinner at The Greenhouse in Simpson Bay with friends. The place was packed and we had to wait for a table. The service was still excellent and the food was great! So glad that we waited. We went to La Bamba after dinner. The group, Category Five, was great. They do oldies, like us, on Sunday night. We actually got up and danced. I was a little uncomfortable about being there without bug spray, but didn't see a lot of mosquitoes. Coming back to BSV, it looked like there had been some big waves near Sunset Bar & Grill. The road had both sand and water on it. We never know what we will find there, it changes so quickly.
This morning is beautiful, it looks like another good beach day. We have to go where the waves aren't! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" />

Have there been big waves at BSV? Surprised that it seems you don't spend any days there? When I'm staying there, most days I have no desire to go anywhere else!

mika--most of the time when we stay at BSV, it's pretty calm. It was calm most of the time during our trip for 10 days in December. I guess you have been unlucky. Truthfully though, I don't get in the water a lot anyway. I prefer to hang out by the pool or on our deck.

Good luck finding your keys Terry! The water at BSV has always been a bit rough when we stay there as well. I have never seen it perfectly calm like in other places, but still beautiful to sit on the beach and enjoy the view.

Wow, sorry to hear about the seaweed also at BSV. Maybe it's a function of the season, as we've generally not had problems with waves most of the time and generally no seaweed, but we usually stay there in May or June..

Carol,
We were at Mary's Boon today and that end of the beach also had heavy seaweed and heavy waves. Someone staying there told us the seaweed wasn't there yesterday and was there this morning. Lots and lots of it. It is definitely not the norm for this time of year, and for sure, not in the amounts we're seeing. We were also told the French beaches facing Anguilla are also heavily covered with it though we haven't been in that area to see it firsthand yet. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Ok, Pat, thanks for the note. I surely hope that there won't be any seaweed at BSV for your inaugural visit there!

Carol,
TY but whatever it is, it will be okay with us. Life is way too short to worry about the little things. If there's seaweed and/ or waves, or not, we'll deal with it. It is what it is!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
