Wow, The water level has really come up on the beach & it looks like the one dinghy to the right has almost sunk.

If the swells get much larger they'll be breaking over the ferry dock.....

Being closer to the Equator, winter vs. summer daylight varies only by just over 2 hours in the VI's.

In my part of the world our daylight varies by over 6-1/2 hours winter vs. summer.

Since you may be tired from traveling, if your family likes BBQ, I'd place an order at Joe's BBQ or Candi's BBQ and head back to your villa to eat.

... or grab a pizza at Ronnie's for the villa.

Hands down we prefer the CA ferry if the schedule works. Crammed in a van with sometimes multiple stops on the way to RH sucks IMO. Rather be out on the water.

But wouldn't you rather kill time on STJ instead of STT?

The really sad thing to my wife and I is we work our asses off to experience STJ as often as we can afford it- those spoon fed prima donna bitches would never come close to "getting it." How sad, how pathetic. One of the most beautiful places on God's Earth, and they could care less.... th...

Ditto on Miles Away - fabulous villa - quiet and private at the end of the street- identical master suites - comfy Tempur-Pedic mattresses. 10 min to Cruz Bay.

Instead of a stressful trip to STJ for your pup, we highly recommend Camp Bow Wow: http://www.campbowwowusa.com/ Our two canine kids stay at Camp Bow Wow when we head to STJ. They love it! "Camper Cams" so you can check on them- staff does a great job- at least the one located here does. L...
