During our boat excursion (from St Thomas over to St John) with Ocean Surfuri, this was the second half of our snorkeling.

We were told the next spot would have a shipwreck. Sakari got really excited over that. She loves shipwrecks. They said it was called Christmas Cove. We were headed to Great Saint James. 

​

On the way there we stopped and was told about famous people that lived on the hill. They mentioned Ciara (the singer) had the bright yellow home and they mentioned the bachelor was filmed in one of the houses and Kenny Chesney owned one of the homes at some point. But they said too many people were coming over by boat and I guess stalking him or something. I believe he lost his home in the hurricane.

We arrived at Christmas Cove and "parked" our boat. They tell us the shipwreck is over theeeeeeerrrrrrreeee. I'm talking really far away. What is with these people? Why do they park so far away? I don't get it! So many places we could have been closer to it. But nooooooo. I was not feeling it so I decided I wasn't going to go. It was a far swim and I just didn't even care at that point. Sakari and Kiera geared up and said they were going. I handed Sakari the GoPro and told her to do her best and we were staying back. I told them both if they got tired to turn around and come back and give us a sign if they needed help. 

​

Off they went.

Ok, I needed a drink! Let them babies start flowing. I started out with a Rum Punch, which is always the go-to drink in the Caribbean. However, I honestly didn't like it for some reason. So after that was a Pain Killer. Now that was good.  We were served our drinks in plastic cups that had Ocean Surfari's name on it and the cool thing about it was when anything cold went in it, they turned a bold blue. They also had pop, cookies and chips to snack on.

​

We were told that we would be having pizza delivered soon. Yes, you heard that right...pizza DELIVERED.

​

Before long, the girls were on their way back and I felt relieved to see them coming. 

CHEERS!!!

Here they come. Back on the boat safely were Sakari would tell me about the "shipwreck" and how she thinks she got good footage for me. She explained it wasn't really a shipwreck, but more like a speed boat that was sunk or something like that.

Here is the boat that makes the pizza's ON the boat! How cool is that? They are Pizza Pi VI. (π)

We were loaded up with pizza now and it's time to get some food in my belly to level out the drinks I was pouring down it. 

Pour me some more please and thank you. They were definitely helping with the pain and mourning I was in from the loss of my camera.

We ate and drank and was merry! Then it was time to pull out. They would find a spot to park to watch the sunset and we would party into the night.

We went by this place and I thought it was so pretty. I pointed it out to Sakari and she said she was looking at it too. I snapped a few pictures as we went by. Little did I know this was the property of Jeffrey Epstein. The hubby now tells me he told us that, but I didn't hear it.

It was a great excursion and we had a lot of fun. We danced the night away to music and lights and I would highly recommend this tour.
