That is a Scrawled Filefish. When you got close to it, did you see the blue-purple lines grow bolder? Nice sighting.

It seemed there were many more fry and fewer adults. We only saw one large grouper but lots of smaller rock hinds and no large triggerfish nor filefish, only little guys. As you said, the same was true of the turtles. We thought it might have to do with the time of year. In the winter we see larger ...

Dear Message Board, We just returned from 8 fabulous days at Caneel bay to celebrate Sharon’s birthday. We swam many times each day, leaving the property only twice: Once to eat at La Tapa and grocery shop, and once to visit Mongoose Junction and eat at Roma Café. We identified 77 different fish wit...

a second vote here for the off clip-on they are great. I also use the bug patches from st john spice, (thanks Ruth) this is a great combo, no more deet! yea.

This is our last day so we are off to the beach.

We love everything about cottage 7. We are in a lower unit and are enjoying the sunset sitting on paradise beach, which we have had to ourselves each evening.

dont know how we got this upgrade but are really enjoying it. We ate at Cafe Roma tonight and it was great as ever. Weather is a bit wet, but no wetter than the water. snorkeling is great.

we had the sorbet, they had two flavors and we had both, blood orange raspberry and mango passion fruit. they were delicious. they do make their own. Tonight we are going to Cafe Roma, we have always loved their food and are looing forward to it. We are off to the breakfast now at Caneel, that is al...

We are here on st john and having a GREAT time. We are at Caneel and were very lucky to be upgraded to cottage 7. The snorkeling has been amazing. We had dinner last night at La Tapa and it was as good or better than ever. I (sharon) had the tuna and Bob had the lamb shank. If you are on island don'...

Wow...so many on st john at one time . We will try to make it if I can drag Bob away from the fish.

we are bringing our own masks and snorkels and planing on using the fins at Caneel. Does anyone know if they supply a bag for the snorkel gear to haul it to the beach? We are going all carry on and don't want to bring anything we don't need. We leave on Tuesday .
Thanks in advance.
Sharon

We leave in 11 days and I have read about Crazy Crackers but do not know where it is. Could someone tell me and also what is the best thing to order there?

Thanks so much.

thanks ever so much.

Can anyone give me the hours that Starfish is open? Thanks so much.

we are medallion so there is no charge for the box. I have read that many people buy liquor duty free and take it in boxes on the plane, so I don't think this is so different. We will bubble wrap each of the bottles and then surround them each with plastic bottles of club soda. We will use the wine ...

I would agree but, and don't laugh please. We are staying at Caneel and really don't want to have to go off property for the first day or so. Bob (this is the funny part) really likes two buck chuck, so you can see that cost is not a real issue if the box does not make it. But, if it does he has his...
