NOT!
We've already spent three times as many days in St. Martin as we originally planned and we haven't checked in to any bays on the Dutch side yet! The anchorages on the western side have been quite comfortable and we've repeatedly been ever so gently swayed into staying put for just one or two or three more nights.

| Awesome sunset, but no Full Moon Party. |
Friar's Bay was advertised as the place to be for Full Moon Celebrations. So, of course, we went out of duty to determine if the experience would be worth repeating with our future visitors. Let me clarify- we went to Friar's Bay on the night of the April Full Moon; however, we fell sound asleep while waiting for the party to start... It began around midnight and this crew was too exhausted to go ashore. (Perhaps if we get some younger visitors to motivate us, we'll go sometime in the coming months.)

| Day Trippers |
Happy Bay has an extraordinary beach that is secluded and is clothing optional. It is only accessible by boat, although not suitable for an overnight stay. Happy Beach was frequented by Capt. Dan and his mate via the dinghy whilst safely anchored in Grand Case or Friar's Bay. Some days it got quite busy with day tripper vessels filled with cruise ship passengers on excursion. Capt. Dan was jokingly dubbed "The Mayor of Happy Beach" because he was often ready to assist other au naturel sun worshippers with information about the beach or amenities in the towns along the eastern coast of the island.
