Rules to travel by in St. Martin
About half way through our trip we met a terrific couple from Boston who have lived on St. Martin for 15 years. They gave us the following tips:

NEVER, EVER leave anything in your car. If it is broken in to you will also have to pay for the new window.

Do not visit Philipsburg after 4:00 p.m. Try to stay in the tourist and resort areas after dark.

MARIJUANA AND DRUGS
Be weary and reluctant, as some men on bikes, etc. may offer to sell you drugs (ganga). I don't do it, so I'm not sure what could happen to someone if they were foreign and caught buying it.

Watch out for afternoon storms
A mid day storm in St. Maarten - Sint Maarten
A mid day storm in St. Maarten

While at the beach we spotted some dark clouds off shore that appeared to be closing in. We were right, as within an hour a tropical rain storm hit with very strong winds, a lot of rain, and it surely damped the mood. We ran into the bar to dry off, scrambling to gather our stuff before it blew away, and grabbed another round.

No worries, as within 30 minutes the storm passed, and just as quickly we moved back onto the sand.

Nude beaches
So I went to my first nude beach while here. Its kinda like finding out the girls in gym class don't run around naked in the showers together. Very deflating. It seemed like only the people you wouldn't want to see naked were naked. One plus was i got to see my first fully nude 80 yo man with only a fanny pack on. I guess some time you just have to represent. Lol it was still worth the experience. An no I didn't go nude i wanted to keep my friends. I did go topless though, that count for anything?
