Trip Report STT - Day 2
Trip Report STT - Day 2
Trip Report STT-Day 2
I decided there were too many words and not enough substance in my first day's report so I will try to be succinct. . . I said try.
Woke up to the gorgeous view.

Wanted to hit Coki Beach to have my favorite drink - - Island Girl (rum, mangoes, strawberries, maybe a banana, and more rum. But first, needed to let my hubby take over the driving so out to practice. We went up to our property in St. Joseph & Rosendahl while I was repeating keep left, keep left and sometimes KEEP LEFT. I drove back. . . I probably didn't give him a fair shake, something about my inner control issues.
Off to Coki, it's still early, prime parking spot, Craig meets us and gets our chairs for us. ($5 each for the day). We are the second ones on the beach, that's nice. I go snorkeling and am slowly making my way around (I do dawdle when snorkeling) and all of a sudden I have all kinds of people surrounding me, hitting me with their flippers, talking and generally causing a commotion in the water and they are all kicking and using their arms like there's a shark or something. I guess the cruise ship people are here. . .Time to start drinking! Snorkeling was good at Coki, lots of nooks and crannies to look into and there were a lot of fish and some of the coral was in good shape but others were damaged. I did yell at someone to stop standing on what they thought was a rock. They ignored me. . .
Pretty much relaxed the remainder of the time there. In the water, lay on the chair, drink, in the water, repeat as necessary. Several buckets of beer and 2 Island Girls later (the 2nd Island Girl, he had asked me if I was driving and I said no. . . . that just means more rum), I decide that I needed a new purse. Now ladies, don't buy a knockoff purse on the beach after drinking heavily. Your powers of persuasion and your judgment is quite limited. I am now the proud owner of a very expensive Chanel knockoff. I rest my case.
We both need a nap and I have emptied my old purse (ziplock bag) of cash) so off back to the condo for a much needed nap. Went to Duffy's for a quick bite later on for dinner. Nothing spectacular and I completely forget that Duffy's only accepts cash, I leave my hubby at the table for collateral and I'm off to the cash machine once again.

We're confirmed USVI lovers too, have been rotating the islands for many years now. Sometimes STJ twice in a year...sometimes just STT in a year. Just depends...glad we were able to enjoy our past vacas as both our jobs are dependent upon the economy and the times are a bit sketchy for us...anyway, am enjoying your STT story. If a time came and we could never go back, we've got great memories of both islands.

Ha! I was left for collateral at the Ocean Grill once and the bartender took pity on me and cheered me up with rum punches.C Urchin wrote:I completely forget that Duffy's only accepts cash, I leave my hubby at the table for collateral and I'm off to the cash machine once again.

Thor is now at Sapphire Beach, at least he was in May when we were there. He was taking orders on the beach for the Grapevine Grill. We saw him on Coki in 2007, in May, with his dreadlocks. Now his hair is HYSTERICAL
No dreadlocks, but up through the top of a straw hat sticking out like crazy. Good guy, I like him. You sure can't miss a guy like Thor.C.....thanks for taking the time for a trip report, keep it coming. Glad to see something about STT on this board.
Pictures are beautiful! I want to go back sooooo bad!
