One of our goals when going to St.Martin was to try out some of the water sports that they provided. There was scuba diving, snorkeling, wave boarding, and jet skiing amongst others that we thought about doing. Whilst in St.Martin, we did everything and almost forgot what it is we really wanted to do, so on the second to last day got up early, I prepared breakfast and then headed to the lobby and arranged to go snorkeling for 1:30 pm. After making the arrangements to go snorkeling, my sister, her friend and I made our way into town to do some more shopping.
As time went, quickly realized that we needed to make our way back to the resort and gather the necessary stuff to go snorkeling. On the way back, we got stuck in traffic simply because of the drawbridge that had just opened up to allow the boats that were passing through coming in for the Heineken Regatta. As we sat there, waiting for the bridge to close we watched the time go from 12:00 to 12:30 and then 12:30 to 1:00 and then the bridge had begun to start to close.
It was at this moment that we knew that there was a high probability that we would miss our trip to go snorkeling. Upon reaching to the resort we ran like we've never ran before to gather our stuff to make it to the harbor. Making it down to the harbor, at exactly 1:28 pm we rushed to get registered only to find out that the captain was running a little late.Once the captain arrived, we loaded the boat and made way to the snorkeling point. On the way, we met two people who were friendly and we all got along making the trip even better.
Upon reaching our destination, we geared up and went snorkeling.For those who have never snorkeled before, it is something you must absolutely put on your to-do list and is a site to behold.
After snorkeling, we made our way back to the resort, but before that, we made a brief stop at a nude beach because my sister and I jumped off the boat swam to the shore then back to the boat again. It was daring and brave to jump off the boat and swim all the way to the shore, only to swim back to the boat which was FAR from the shore but nonetheless it was an experience.

After swimming back to the boat, we kept on moving until we had reached to the drawbridge mentioned earlier on in this post. The drawbridge had opened to allow more Heineken Regatta competitors in from all parts of the world, like South Africa, Russia, Italy, Uruguay, Puerto Rico amongst many other countries. Upon reaching back to the resort, we took a group picture to remember that day and the new friends we made.
