Caribe
August 21, 2008
St. Maarten was a booze-induced blur, but here's what I remember. We had a kick ass room - Bly, Mike (aka Platoon), and myself - that bordered the pool and the beach, complete with a sick patio and AC that we kept blasting at all times. Ours was on the lowermost right in this picture. The others are taken from our patio.
We explored a number of beaches and towns in our beater Jeep which we of course off-roaded and turned into a pond when it rained. At Orient Beach (also known as Caribbean Wiakiki Beach) we rented a Hobie cat. Wind was really good, but the swells were a bit two rough to really get the boat keeled over. Platoon took a dip while trying to hang off the high side pontoon.
The view looking from the French side to the Dutch side was pretty cool so we parlayed our drinking for a few minutes to take this photo.
Since we mostly drank and laid on the beach, the only other photos I have are from diving. Here are some of the highlights from my first ever wreck diving.
