Thanks but we changed our minds and booked to Barbados, will stay right at freights bay, one of the main surf spots ....should be fun.

correction, I think the villa we found is called "Tortola Adventures"? Here it is...

Hi folks....long time STJ visitor and user of this forum, haven't been on the forum for a few years....last few years we've been doing surf vacations all over the place, but not VI. Next year we're looking to visit Tortola for maybe 6-7 days and Virgin Gorda for maybe 3 nights....basically to scope ...

Ahh in that case, agreed, the go pro would be really fun. We have 2 of them for surfing videos, they really are awesome and simple to use.....just haven't invested in the add on screen....

Yes.....for underwater shots the Olympus is way easier to deal with. The main advantage is you can see what you're shooting....the GoPro has no viewing screen, so its very easy to miss the shot. With the Olympus you can also zoom in and out, just many more options. We were really shocked by the shot...

don't know, but I suppose if they did that they should stop at white bay for a painkiller on the way, ehh?

now that would be traveling in style!

thanks for the advice, I'll check these options out.....yep I know, just stay and enjoy, ehh?....but seems they'd like to come home, and the father wants to save some vacation and money to join us in PR in two weeks for our extended surf vacation. The problem is it's holiday time, and there aren't m...

hey folks, our best friends just spent their first week in STJ and then 3 days in STT, were to fly back to Boston today on JetBlue but flights are all canceled. There are no seats available to get a family of 4 to SJU where they could get a flight home tomorrow.....next option is Monday....have chec...

Thanks....actually ended up buying the Olympus. The research was kind of funny.....the reviews on Nikons own website were very poor. For the Canon, it seems people either loved it, or it failed due to leakage on the first day.....no in between. So decided to stick with old reliable, the Olympus has ...

hey folks....haven't been on the forum in a while, missed our STJ trip this past year for the first time in 12 years....ugh.....but we had nice trips elsewhere....but they aren't STJ. anyhow....we gave our last Olympus Stylus Tough to one of our kids for a honeymoon trip, .....and now we have some w...

Great report, looking forward to vol 2!

Many of these cameras fail eventually in the seals, so get that extended warranty. I agree, if you liked the D10, why not get the D20? We have the Olympus Stylus Tough 8010, our 2nd Olympus. First one failed, 2nd one so far needed one warranty service....but so far so good, we've had it through 4 tr...

If you're staying in Coral Bay again, you need to eat at Miss Lucy's.

Hmmm......are you going there twice, or going and staying 4 months?
