TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Day 4.....

Another picture perfect day. Nice breeze blowing most of the day, and temps were very comfortable with what i felt was ZERO humidity. We did get a late start today, so we decided to stay at Royal Islander and veg. Maho Beach is very quiet, especially without the cruisers at Sunset. In all the years of coming here, I think there was more sand on the beach than i can remember. None of the rocks at the bottom of the stairs are even visible, and same in the ocean. Bet there has to be at least a couple of feet of sand on the beach floor bottom, since i know i didnt step on ONE ROCK. Today also, was the calmest seas, with such a slow roll of the waves. Spent well over a couple of hours in the water, it was sooooo perfect.

Then back up on a lounger around the pool, and sand gravity got to us. For dinner we picked up a pizza from the Driftwood, brought it home, and that was that. Didn't even venture out tonight...Stayed in our suite, watched some television, and probably going to hit the sack real soon. Tomorrow will probably be another Orient Day, unless sand gravity grounds us again. Sorry for the boring report...but it is what it is.

Not boring at all - we enjoy an occasional laid-back day. also. I've been enjoying your updates.

Yes, sand has shifted. We just stayed at BSV and several stairs were buried in sand.
Rest and enjoy.

Sounds lovely, Ed!
