TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Strange waters

We arrived on Saturday and as we were nearing the island DH noticed the waters looking strangely different than the norm but we couldn't figure out quite what was causing the difference. Yesterday we were talking to someone from the island who suggested that what we saw as slightly rusty brown waters was actually the sargasso seaweed that kas plagued so many of the beaches here as far back as last fall. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
