  • 2026 SXM Day 8: Top Stuff

    I went back to Happy Bay to enjoy the cool beach and got a massage from Darcy on the beach. Pure heaven. The was some sprinkles during the session and a 45 second rain afterwards. Then traversed by car up as far as I could go to Pic Paradis, the highest point in St Martin…

  • 2026 SXM Day 7: A little Rouge

    Baie Rouge was the beach. Really nice beach but it was windy all over the Island so more waves. Again a nice beach but traffic was terrible to get there. Didn’t matter from which direction. I pulled a pic from one of there news sites. My setup for today. It was too windy for the…

  • 2026 SXM Day 6: City time

    Phillipsburg was the agenda for this morning. I am not a shopper and I just decided to walk around like cruise people but I didn’t have a lanyard. A look of the bay as you come in. There are 4 cruise ships with multiple large yachts. The streets became loaded with people after I took…

  • 2026 SXM Day 5: Happy, Happy, Happy!

    Happy Bay Beach was today’s featured beach. The suggested path was from another beach through a hiking trail. I had to take an alternate path through an abandoned resort from the hurricane. The path to happinesses. This is from where I came from. Panoramic view of the bay. And the foot picture to help show…

  • 2026 SXM Day 4: Kneading

    Back to Orient Bay Beaches for not only relaxing on the beach, walking for an hour on the beach, eating on the beach but also getting a massage on the beach. It was great hearing the waves crashing as the knots are getting kneaded out the muscles. I feel so much better in the calves…

  • 2026 SXM Day 3: Relax and Reflect

    i had plans for other things today but I slept 10 hours and thought maybe I am tired and should hang out by the pool today. I did go to the supermarket on the French side called Super U and I did not take pictures of that since you have all seen those. Most all…

    Exercise today was limited to 50 minutes of walk up and down length of Orient Bay Beaches. Nice long beach area. Beach goes past the point on the left Sand was nice and not hot. It does seem eroded from when I was here decades ago. Irma took some out but they have taken out…

  • 2026 St. Martin day 1: Torture?

    Yesterday was a travel day so I consider this day 1. Some reason I decided to do a 1.8 mile hike to a beach. I do 4 miles at MoA so this should be easy right? Ha! Start of the hike looking over Anse Marcel Looking at the hill to traverse it looks like steam…
