Sherban, nice report and pictures. Glad you had a good time. You must have had alot of places to visit because of your maps.

I have 6 nights to go until STT!

sherban,
Could you expand on high pockets? Did you head over to St John's area? was the snorkeling much different than what you see around? Was the price worth it? We are heading down in July and want to take some sort of boat trip but I am just not sure what we really want to do yet.

C3P1- We sailed out of St Thomas over to St John. The snorkeling is probably similar to what you would see walking out from the beaches on STJ....sometimes the sailboats moor in areas not easily accesible from the shore... The daysail is an experience in itself because you spend a couple hours sailing from Island to Island...you talk to the captain, crew, and other passengers, and you get waited on like an honered guest...so to speak. They provide open bar all day, help you with your snorkel equipment (provide it if needed) and cook you an awesome lunch. Lunch on highpockets is a great marinated chicken, pasta, and salad...then rum cake. I would reccomend you try a daysail for your self most people rave about them...not cheap but the "good stuff" usually isn't.

Lots of reviews here:

Y'all look like you're having the time of your lives in your pix. Good for you both to have that stress-free, relaxing time together. :D
