Edd, Not sailing related but you should definitely stop by Maho Beach at the end of Princess Juliana Airport runway in St Marteen. There are bars on each side of a tiny road with flight schedules posted on a board. Just about the best place to watch planes land insanely close by! Here is some pictures I took few weeks ago (MD80, 757 and a the new 787):

The ship is going to St. Maarten, St. Thomas, Old San Juan and, for a short time, Tortola. I'm looking for recommendations on a trustworthy sailboat (or, if I have to, powerboat) rental options for a day at one of the destinations. The sailing excursions offered through the cruise line tend to be more motor-with-the sail-up, don't-touch-the-lines, booze cruises - which I'm looking to avoid. Instead, I'd like to just go out, sail around, snorkel, beach, etc. on my own schedule. Any suggestions? All the best, Edd Edd M.
