Cruise St Thomas & St Martin

St Martin- Jeron and I did some shopping, they have tiny little streets that are paved with brick and little out door shops that you can walk around. Most of the stuff they sold there were repeats of everything you saw and was made anywhere but there, but we were able to find some neet necklaces for the girls that were mother of pearl sea shells carved into sea turles and I also got a neet necklace and braclet that were made from coconut shells. We also were able to eat some fresh coconut and had a coconut smoothie that was soo good.

The beach in St Martin was very nice, lots of people and a few that choose to sun bathe in the nude.

In St Martin we took a small boat out in the ocean to do our open water dives to finish our scuba certification. When we got there we all got suited up and learned how to step off the boat with all our gear on. I was a little scary at first knowing that you were stepping off a boat in the middle of the ocean with gear on that was very heavy thinking that there was know way that you could stay afloat but amazingly we did float! Our dive instructor took Jeanna and Jeremy and Jeralyn and Clay down 25 feet to a platform and the visibility was so bad that they couldn't see a foot in front of them so he decided that it was too dangerous for us all to go down and had to cancel the dive. We were all very disappointed but knew he was doing it for our saftey. Now we all have to find an instructor that will help us finish our dives so that we will be certified


ST Martin



In St Thomas we took a taxi to Coki Beach to do some snorkeling and soak up the sun. It was a beautiful day and the water was so clear and blue. Jeron and I snorkeled for the first time and it was so awsome!! We were able to see some cool fish in the water that were swimming right by us. We also was able to see 3 octopus that were way cool. Jeron and I talked about how much Shaylyn would love to snorkel and that we would never be able to get her out of the water.



Jeron looks pretty hot all suited up in his snorkeling gear!
