Gang of 6 Trip Report - 10/27-11/5 - Part 3

[RickG]

Remember I am a novice . . . but . . . when you said you didn't snorkel at the caves I gasped!! You could tie blocks to me and put a shark in the water and I would still have to go.

...

Thanks for the report! I have seen Palm Tree Charters on youtube and it looks top notch. Your kids will love it. You might have to go to the Baths for the kids.

Gina, I've done the caves a bunch of times. Half of our group popped in there. Sweet Christine does not like tight spaces and she's heard the stories of the idiots who barrel into the cave and push folks around.

We'll probably do the same itinerary with the kids. The Baths are too far and are anticlimactic. My youngest will sit next to Capt. John an talk his ear off. My oldest will be perched in the front getting sprayed.

Cheers, RickG

Boat days are always the best days! Did your boat leave out of Coral or Cruz Bay? I've gone out with Capt George (now lives on St. Croix) on a power cat and they are great vessels.

Thanks for the reports - we appreciate them!

I see you crawled out from under the workload. Now it is time to finish! It only took me about 12 hours to do the last 4 days How was the water that day? -rough?

[RickG]

We left on Palma Bella out of Cruz Bay - National Park Dock.

MrsB, the water had pretty good swells between Sopers Hole and the Indians. After that, things calmed down.

Cheers, RickG
