Pickle - It was really challenging for me to identify STJ beaches from the water. And really fun! Wait till you see the great shot I got of the cars at the Trunk Bay overlook! Fun!
I think you could go out for a day on a catamaran with some Bonine. I'm the original "motion sick kid" and never once did I feel even a second of motion sickness. I took Bonine the first 3 days, just in case, but after that I didn't take it any more. A catamaran doesn't "rock n' roll" like a single hull boat does.

We were at Maho until about 1pm, I think we never took a watch with us. We didn't care what time it was the whole week. I sure wish I would have meet you guys, it seemed like so much fun.

CG - my husband also thinks I may be able to take a day trip on a catamaran... if I find a remedy that works for my motion sickness. Nothing works for me so far. During my only experience with sailing on a little sailboat, the water was calm and I still didn't do well. There were dolphins swimming right by the boat but all I could do was keep looking at the horizon (to keep my stomach down). Pathetic.
The photos from the water give me different perspectives of the beaches of St. John - I really love them. Now, I'm waiting for the great shot that you are talking about!

I can't believe how brown everything was before the rain.
It looks like a fun trip.

Question?
Noticed a few empty jello shot containers in that bag. Riddle me this batman.
This was due to
a. Bev slamming a few down on the way to the boat
b. No place else to put them
c. you all had a few too many and gave it a break
d. just didn't want them to blow away
e. My answers are way off base.
All of the above, except for "a" and "e" LOL! We did have some left over and they lasted a day or two, but all shots were eventually consumed! 
I made 150 and they were gone, between the B.B. Gathering, CAT trip ,and Margo, Rick and Kellee's overnight visit.
I'm appalled that you would think I "slammed a few down on the way to the boat". Actually I slammed MANY down while waiting for the boat to pick my fat ass up!

Still making notes for December. Now I am adding:
5) Don't confuse zip-loc bag with Jello Shots with "other" zip-loc bag.

Thanks everyone!
Vicki, you will be a very informed newbie by the time we get through this report. I thought a small detail like the alterative use for ziplock bags would be a valuable thing to know.

I believe the multi-colors will tell you you're in the wrong bag!? Hopefully..
