Big surf.. Manpot Yesterday at 09:37 PM We are getting epic waves today here in Apple Bay and CGB point is going off..great news for surfers but not so much for sailors not looking for a rocky night. The swell is about 8 feet with bigger sets but, the few boats in CGB, tucked away more to the east seemed to be comfortable even with white water on the reef etc.Time to wax that board..

More arrests SXMScubaman Yesterday at 04:17 PM Looks like these controls are catching some of these bad ones.
"olice carried out Controls – Firearm Recovered and Multiple Arrests Made
The Police Force of Sint-Maarten (KPSM), in close cooperation with its other law-enforcement partners, continued its intensified controls and preventative actions aimed at ensuring public safety across the island.
On the evening of Tuesday, December 16th, 2025, at approximately 7:00 p.m., officers from a special police team were carrying out preventative controls along Suoaliga Road, in the area of the Melford Hazel Sports Park.
While conducting preventative searches in the area, officers observed a Kia motor vehicle parked near a group of men. At that moment, one individual was seated inside the vehicle while a second male attempted to walk away from it. Both individuals were immediately stopped and subjected to a lawful search.
During the inspection of the vehicle, officers discovered a black firearm lying under the seat. As a result of this finding, both individuals were immediately arrested.
One of the suspects informed officers that the vehicle belonged to a friend who was reportedly in the vicinity of one of the nearby gentleman's clubs. Shortly thereafter, officers observed the driver, who upon noticing police presence, fled the scene on foot, escaping through bushes in the direction of the Sucker Garden Road area.
The area was cordoned off, and officers initiated an intensive search operation. After approximately 15 minutes, the suspect was located hiding in nearby bushes and was successfully apprehended and arrested without further incident.
All 3 suspects were transported to the police station, where they are currently being held for questioning. The firearm was confiscated as part of the ongoing investigation.
KPSM once again emphasizes that possession of illegal firearms or narcotics will not be tolerated. Individuals found in possession of such prohibited items will be arrested and prosecuted in accordance with the law.
The Police Force of Sint Maarten is sending a clear and firm message:
Controls, joint operations, and preventative searches will continue island-wide as part of ongoing efforts to safeguard public order and enhance the safety of all residents and visitors ."

Morning walk Alltech63 Yesterday at 01:48 PM So after eating and drinking myself to the edge of gluttony last night
I decided to take a long walk this morning close to 5 miles.
My path was from L'Esplanade to Happy Bay across the trail to Friars Bay and back. They have done some trail work and it is better now. The road to Friars is still a mud hole

Robbery- while lodging at Princess Eden bink1843 12/16/2025 03:02 PM We just came back from St. Martin a few weeks ago. We rented a unit from Caribbean Princess, called Princess Eden.for our daughters family . the lodging was on the second floor, while there after midnight, access was gained by a ladder to the second story and opening the patio door which had a bad lock . Everyone was sleeping with our grand daughter sleeping on the sofa. My daughters purse was taken off the table and emptied out, all cash was taken. Management fixed the lock on the door, which should of been repaired prior to renting. Very disappointed to the managements response to this incident. Obviously our daughter and family will not return to St Martin. This appears to be an inside job, since all entry keypads were replaced the day of the robbery, as this is a locked gated property. No efforts were made to reimburse for this unfortunate incident
