Watch the mega yacht built for Steve Jobs squeeze through the bridge
into Simpson Bay Lagoon among other things. The lagoon is one of the
great cruising crossroads of the world and you never know who or what
you will see there.

Very nice. What was interesting to me, besides the boats, was that the drone could
have been piloted from the bed of a pickup in that small parking lot. Yet the FAA
thinks registering drones will have an effect on irresponsible drone flying.


There's also a major airport less than a mile north of there which
would surely give the FAA fits.

As for the lagoon, I'm wondering why the Disney Magic didn't take us in there to see
the sights.

The lagoon is way too shallow for a cruise ship. Your best bet is to
sign up for a small boat excursion like these guys:

Just kidding about the Disney Magic. I'm not sure where we put it. We may have
anchored. Just don't remember. I think that was our first cruise, back about ten
years ago. The kids went to the beach. I walked around the town.

There are some great YouTube videos of landings at St. Maarten.
