Nature Girl, her husband, myself and my wife are planning to rent a boat from Ocean Runners on Saturday Nov 24. We are looking for another couple or two to split the costs and ride along. We are planing some snorkling and some limin', lunch on Jost at Soggy Dollar or Foxy's. Run by Sand Spit as well. For anybody that hasn't been off shore here you will also get a great view of Caneel,Trunk, Cinnamon, Maho, Whistling Key etc.
If anyone is interested feel free to PM me or Nature Girl.

We have decided to book Lion in Da Sun instead of Ocean Runners. We still are looking for two more people to split the charter if anyone is interested.

We are taking the ferry to Jost that day. You guys should consider stopping at White Bay instead of Great Harbor/Foxy's. I don't think much goes on at Foxy's during the day and White Bay is one of the best places on the planet. Soggy Dollar has great conch fritters and flying fish sandwiches. We will be on White Bay all day( well until the ferry leaves at 3:00pm
), so let me know if your plans change.

Brenda,
I think Soggy Dollar can be arranged. Actually, the captain will take us anywhere we want to go. If you would like to join us it will be $200 for the whole day per couple.

Brenda,
Nature Girl beat me to the post. The stop at Great harbor is to clear customs. Most people want ot run into Foxy's Shop and buy a T-Shirt just to prove they have been there. Your right there is not much going on there in the daytime. They are open for lunch but I can't imagine going to Jost with out a Flying Fish sandwich and a painkiller at the Soggy Dollar. As Nature Girl said if you want to ride a private boat instead of the ferry we are looking for another couple. It actually won't be that much more than you are paying for the Ferry as you will have to pay for a Taxi from Great Harbor, were the ferry dock is, to White's Bay and back again. Or you are in for a long walk uphill both ways.
We will likely make a snorkle stop or two and run by Sandy Spit as well so you would get a better view and ride than the ferry will provide. You also will get a little more time out as the ferry leaves cruise bay at 8:30 and then departs White's Bay at 3:00.
Either way we will see you at the Soggy Dollar.

Since there are so many of us under the big 30 now I thought I would bump this one up and see if there are any takers. We are chartering Lion In Da Sun and plan to go to Jost for the day.
