Alan and Holly, the "Reluctant Tour Guides", have a snorkelers dream at Coki Beach. Clear, warm, calm waters and a ton of reef fish and yellowtail snappers keep both of them busy! Coki beach is one of St. Thomas's most beautiful and popular beaches with both the locals and tourists. Located on the east end of the island and close to a number of poplular resorts, Coki is bound to please the most devoted sun seekers and underwater enthusiasts. Along with many varieties of reef fish, Alan and Holly come across a curious Octopus! Produced by Andrew Burnett, Come Out and Play Productions, andrew@goodimpressions.us

The secret is out! Secret Harbor is a great place for snorkeling, especially for beginners. Our "Reluctant Tour Guides" Alan and Holly, really enjoyed this beach and snorkel. Most of the water is relatively shallow (4 - 8 feet deep.) Another good thing about this spot is that it is very protected from the prevailing winds and swell. So, if the north swell is up on St. Thomas, Secret Harbor is the place to go. On this dive we came across a beautiful Octopus - and it was a big one! Enjoy!

The "Reluctant Tour Guides" are at it again. This time, join Alan and Holly as they explore the underwater adventure of Hull Bay. Hull Bay in situated on the North side of St. Thomas, due west of Magens Bay - a popular tourist destination. Hull Bay is more of a locals beach and French Fisherman hangout. It is also popular with the surfers. As well, it is one of my personal favorite places in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Alan and Holly swim about 1/2 mile out to the end of the point where the northern swells crash against the rocks. Along the way they see many different types of reef fish, a big snapper, a turtle and a host of other sea creatures from the deep.

I met Alex and Andy, two computer programers from Boston, while camping at Vie's Beach in St. John. They were both up for a boating/snorkeling adventure and joined me for a trip to Mangroves of Hurricane Hole. Produced by Andrew Burnett, Come Out And Play Productions, andrew@goodimpressions.us

Honeymoon Beach is a short walk from the Caneel Bay Resort. Sugary white sands and normally calm waters make Honeymoon the perfect spot for sun seekers or snorkelers alike. There is a wide array of fish and coral species and the shallow waters are a perfect place those new to the sport of underwater adventure - even young children join in the fun!

Over the years I have visited Sugar Mill Ruins at six different locations on the island of St. John. Reef Bay, Little Lameshur Bay, Brown Bay, Annaberg on Leinster Bay, Caneel Bay and Catherinberg on Centerline Road, the only ruins that are not located near the waters edge. All of the ruins used wind power except Reef Bay, which used steam power to press the sugar cane. Produced by Andrew Burnett, Come Out And Play Productions. andrew@goodimpressions.us

Harry and Maria, the "Reluctant Tour Guides", spend the afternoon hiking on the west end of St. John. The 4.5 mile hike takes about 3-4 hours and treats you to some beautiful vistas of Cruz Bay, St. Thomas and the barrier islands. Next, they hike down from Margarate Hill into the Caneel Bay Resort. Then it's over to Honeymoon and Salomon Beaches before they head back to Cruz Bay on the Lind Point Trail. Produced by Andrew Burnett, Come Out and Play Productions. andrew@goodimpressions.us

One more adventure for the "Reluctant Tour Guides" in St. John. We noticed a boat was off it's mooring and washed up on the shore of Coral Bay. PAZ checked it out and found that it had been abandoned for several years. We managed to get it off the shore and cleaned her up. On her maiden voyage/Three Hour Tour, we had a great time at first. She really moved through the water! Then, without warning her rudder broke off and Andrew had to swim for the shore. He got a ride back to our Boston Whaler and came out to tow the "Pirate Ship" back to the bay. Just one more day and adventure in Paradise.
