Maho Beach - St Martin

[Puggit]

Just spent a week in St Martin, staying right next to Maho Beach. I managed to get a lot of people who had no interest in planes on that beach many times and captured these:

at the last one

Somewhere in that shot is a man who ended up cartwheeling down the beach and broke his collarbone

The signs are quite clear:

The Mrs and I went to St Maarten (for a day) on a cruise 3 years ago... wanted to go the beach... the Mrs wanted to shop... I lost..

I regret the $20 we spent getting a taxi to Phillipsburg. The shopping was awful!

If you search on YouTube there's vids of peeps who hang on to the fence and get lifted up as the aircraft take off.

I have such a video of some of my colleagues doing just that - still looking for it!

Looks like you had a good holiday Puggit!

Technically I was on business - well ok, work paid for the trip
