I'm now catching up with your reports and it's been a fun read.

Especially enjoyed this installment since we'll be on Palma Bella for the first time in June. You can probably imagine the level of our anticipation... I even dreamed about our boat day with Captain John the other night (have never met him but know what he looks like). Thank you for making us look forward to it even more, augie.

Seems like you always get shots of the Drum family (is that Highhat, perhaps?). Sorry about your D10. Your new camera seemed to have worked great, though.

That's what I had ID'ed it as. I was waiting for you, Maggy, or Liamsaunt to verify it - thanks!

Originally I assumed juvenile spotted drum, but I knew that wasn't right. I did see one of those though, at Cinnamon, about 15 feet down, hanging out under a rock.

You'll love your day on Palma Bella with Captain John!
Come see us!

Can you do one every day forever? lol
Connie- I like how you think! :D I love how Steve (Augie) writes and I want him to write a TR every day.... so I guess we better work on moving!!

I knew I like Capt John when we met him a couple years ago , but he is family now!!!! :D :D

Love the reports! We were so disappointed that rough seas cancelled our day with Palm Tree - can't wait to have the same fun you did on our NEXT trip to paradise.

Keep the reports coming!

Loving the trip reports and had to laugh at the reference to Paul, aka 'Joe' the bartender, I showed him your report and he insists that he would be happy to rent himself out for the cost of drinks to bartend at your house in FL or anywhere in St. John, just give him a call! :lol: What a fun evening, great meeting you all. Ironically we were at Soggy Dollar the same afternoon on Calypso, sorry we missed you...raincheck! Wonderful snorkeling pictures as well!
