Many thanks to Kara and congratulations for having this site up one year without having the server meltdown or getting yanked by the FCC.
Here are a few observations I have and what I have learned in one year:
1. You guys are sandbagging. I get accused of being TOO enthusiastic about SBH. Well, for the Newbies out there, let me say this: It is even NICER than I make it sound. Wow!
2. Take at least SPF 50 for "white meat".
3. Sand is for wading, rocks is for snorkellin.
4. If you step on a sea urchin (by ignoring number 3 above) you either pour vineger on it or pee on it (really)
5. MikeR's rule about not posting after two beers is a good one (the exception being Everything Else where a minimum of two beers should be required BEFORE posting).
6. There are a lot of nice folks in this site.
7. It dont matter what you did wear or did not wear on the beach. And it dont matter if the dress you wear into town is made of saran wrap, so long as it aint a bathing suit. Bathing suits are NOT worn in town. Bottom line: If you can throw a full bottle of rhum from where you are and hit the beach or ocean without the bottle breaking, a bathing suit is fine. If not, put the saran wrap dress on.
8. Be nice to all your waiters and bar attendents. That way, they will smile pleasantly at you when they walk past you on Saline and Gouverneur.
9. The water is too clear to "hide anything". And, yes, you will sunburn in the water.
10 Once is not enough
11 There are three types of places on earth: Here, St Barts and the places we have to traverse to get from Here to St Barts. That is pretty much all the geography you need to know.
