    Trip report, Harborside Atlantis & Stuart Cove's

    frostfire: I agree with H2O Gal. I was the first to get picked up and the last to get dropped off. If I remember right, the bus taking you back seemed to fill up fast, so be ready to board so you don't have to wait for another one to show up. I would use them again if I went back though...

    Thursday - 3/20 weigh in

    Good job guys! I was a little leary of the scale this morning but am down not quite a pound but still a new low! Have been getting more active at work outside now that it's warming up, plus we adopted a "workout machine" named "Fletcher". He's a 3-year old English Pointer that loves long walks!

    I'm back to my pre-vacation weight already so things are looking up. Shoveled the neighbors driveway as well as mine last night so I'm sure that helped. Kickboxing tonight.

    St Martin Trip Report

    There was a fair amout of current at times. We only anchored one time, the rest we were tied to a secured buoy or wreck, then started our dive into the current and pretty much drifted back. Joe

    St Martin Trip Report

    Yes, Orient (twice):D Did shopping with the wife in Phillipsburg one afternoon after diving (kind of mandatory). Hiked up to Ft. Louis a few times, spent one afternoon trying to find where to get the best Pina Colada. Ate at many of the fine restaurants in Marigot. Lots of good thin-crust...

    St Martin Trip Report

    We spent last week at Hotel Beach Plaza in Marigot and had a great time! I used Ocean Explorers Dive shop in Simpson bay and would highly recommend them. I dove three days and while the sites we were able to dive didn't have as much "stuff" as far as coral and plant life, I did see a fair...

    Staying at the Atlantis next week any suggestions on dive locations...

    3 or 7 mil wetsuit needed for Jan?

    I recorded a water temp of 77f at the end of Jan. I had a 3/2 shorty and felt fine but everyone else had full suits. Divemasters usually dressed in layers. Keep in mind we northerners have antifreeze in our blood! Does this help? Leaving for St. Martin in the morning, yeah!
