After the seabed walk, we indulged in a very strong rum punch and Catherine a snorkel session , whilst the 2nd group were under. Following that, we were deposited back at the cruise terminal. After freshening up and grabbing some food, we took a walk into Philipsburg. This is everyone's favourite port apparently. It is renowned for its tax free jewellery and electronic equipment but I have to say, if you don't intend to shop or hit one of the beachfront bars, then there isn't much to see. There's an old courthouse worth a photo but that's about it. I guess the excitement lies to the north at Mayo Beach. That's where the jets come in to land at the airport a few feet above the beach. Had we not had the sea trek, I expect we would have gone there.

At dinner, the 'suits were there to greet Catherine and I, one showing us to our table himself. There's been no change to the menu yet though.
We have a short journey of 87 miles tonight. Tomorrow we shall be waking at Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands. We have no excursion booked, so we'll be doing our own thing in Spanish Town. Till then.
