I was there that same week - there were 6 couples and we did just about everything in the rain! Swimming while drinking was a challenge - had to have a hat with a bill (or wide brim)on it so as not to dilute the good stuff!

Last November when we were in St. John, we had talked to a lady who was manning the Westin "Hut" close to wharfside. We almost signed up for a tour but it was our last day and I just didn't want to spent 90 minutes that way - that being said, she upped the Sand Dollar amount to $325+ and I...
