I took most of my images in this gallery with one of those drugstore waterproof cameras. So not bad, huh? Good thing. Shots on the water were while I was sailing a Hobie Cat. And since I'm not an experieced sailer, I flipped the thing over many times intentionally trying to ride the incoming surf against the fairly brisk winds.

Most of all though, Saint Martin was our first Caribbean vacation, just three months after my wife, Betty Ann, finished her chemo following lung surgery. So for us both, that stay remains special in our hearts all these years later.
