We started the day at St. Barths with a rain shower that left behind a rainbow.Several ships are in port with us today, including the brand new Silversea Silver Spirit and one of the smaller Windstar ships (either the Wind Star or Wind Spirit, I can't which tell since the ship is anchored quite far from where SeaDream II is). Last night, Windstar Wind Surf was here too as was our sister ship, SeaDream I.
We woke early and went ashore with Amy Boothman, SeaDream II's Club and Activities Director, and another couple. I guess 7:30 was just a bit too early for the other guests to handle!
We tendered to shore and made a quick stop at the local fish market. We then walked to Shell Beach (about 10-15 minutes).
There was no one in the water so we all took an invigorating morning swim. The beach is strewn with millions of tiny seashells so you may want to wear reef slippers in the water here.
After swimming, we headed back through Gustavia (the shops still hadn't opened yet) and tendered back to SeaDream II for breakfast. The weather took a turn for the worse and we encountered brief and light showers during the early afternoon.
The Marina platform was open for business and many guests swam or took out a PWC (personal water craft). (We'll talk more about the Marina later.)
Now it's on to Josselin Jeanblanc's Menu Degustation Dinner. Life's tough in the Caribbean.
