***CONFIRMING A MEET UP TODAY @ ~3:00 pm***I will have Beer (Iron Shore and Cay Light) and Rum Punch for refreshments. Feel feel to bring your favorites.
Place: the beach at the Retreat at Rum Point, we situate ourselves towards the point.Since the question was asked on the Trip Advisor Forums about a possible on-island get-together for the week of 7/1/12 and there just happens to be a few TA members visiting during this week, I figured I'd take a half-ass stab at trying to pull something together. So my thought is to have a meet-up for a couple of drinks and of course, some snorkeling. If I recall, there are a few divers in the week's groups, so figure the afternoon soiree would be best. Thinking Monday, July 2nd (weather forecast looks good FWIW) at the Retreat at Rum Point (My home base and access to a fridge and ice, plus I am lazy ). Open to timing or other days suggestions, but thinking around 3:00 may make sense for folks coming from "Town", plus the turtles usually are out and about then (just threw that in to get people on the fence interested ) For those not interested in snorkeling, you can keep Mrs. T company on the beach, just try to leave some beverages for the snorkelers. So if interested, post below with name and # in party and we'll see what transpires. If you have a preferred date and/or location, chime in with that as well. I am booked on Tuesday. Cheers, Testudo

Who wants to spend a whole day in George Town, anyhow? Monday at 3 works very well for us. We're going out with Captain Dexter that morning, so... Count us as almost definitely for 6. I'll double-check with the Mr. and report back!

Awe, this sounds like fun! We don't arrive until July 7. :-( Hope you all have a great time!
Hey Testudo, one question if you don't mind. We were looking into doing the boat bio tour while there. I sent off an email but haven't heard back from anyone. Is it safe to assume that our timing is off for this tour?? Thanks for any information you may have!
Thanks again!

Who's to say there won't be another opportunity later in the week! We usually have some adult beverages that need to be drained before we go back to our mainland home. All us Jersey folks need to stick together. Looks like Sweetspot (the tour op with the boat or Kayak option) is back to doing Bio-Bay tours starting on July 4th. www.gotothesweetspot.com/kiteboard/archives/779Try giving them a call: 345-925-8129

I forgot to mention yesterday that my little group consist of my husband and I and our son.
LOL to New Jersey folks sticking together!! Have to love New Jersey especially south Jersey! :-) Definitely would love to meet up with anyone that will be down there July 7th - July 21st. We will be staying near Rum Point.
Testudo, thanks for the link! I am going to check it out right now.
Thanks again!

Hi, looks like we will be there with a smaller party. The kid and parents are all crapping out on us. It'll be hubby and me. See y'all then!

Looks like I'm crapping out too. The resident female a/k/a Nurse Ratched thinks I got too beat up during my two snorkels yesterday (she's kinda right about that), claims to not like my "color" and has banned me from snorkeling today.
I'll get in touch later on about manana.

Drop that eco-suncreen crap and use some real earth damaging, but proper sun blocking stuff!
