One decision down!

Weather permitting, The Indians is an absolute must. If it's not primo conditions, head off and accellerate the excursion.

Pirates' rep is "a so-so beach bar on a ho hum beach." very skipable.

Willy T's roti is excellent and unless there's a bunch of drunk day-trippers from the USVI (not counting you, of course) it should be pretty calm. I wouldn't skip it...it's downright famous. Get the T-Shirt.

Backing-up a bit, if the weather is not just right and The Indians can't be done, you'll have eliminated your good snorkeling spots if you skip the STJ north shore option. I'd skip it on the way out to Norman and catch it on the way to JVD if The Indians don't work out.

Extra time on White Bay is an excellent goal. It allows for an actual beach bar crawl from SDB to Gertrudes and finally Seddy's One Love (Raquels' Bushwackers are awesome).

Indians - Willy T - N Shore STJ (if needed) - Sandy Spit - White Bay - Home

Great info guys! I personally would love to spend more time and see different things/beaches/bars on Jost. Aside from the popular bars, is there anything else on Jost you would recommend exploring? I definitely want to hit Soggy Dollar and Foxy's. And as far as Sandy Spit, there is good snorkeling there? I would be happy with just that and Jost i think but then i feel like we should see more since we have the boat. If we bypass Norman Island, is it worth it to head out that way just for the Indians? How about Smuggler's Cove? Is that a must see?

Right now I am thinking Sandy Spit, Smugglers and Jost.

Saw your post after I posted Dave. Thanks for the suggestion. I will keep several itinerary options in my pocket for trip day

YES...YES...YES

Smuggler's? Poor snorkeling...bleached, dead coral. Downright pretty, crescent beach. See it while you can. Destined to be developed.
