Day 5 -- St Barts

after a not so great Sunrise due to low clouds we arrived a bit early at St Barts.. by 815 we were off the ship and on a tender heading for downtown  Gustavia.. the harbor and marina were both extremely crowded with large sailing and motor yachts more so than the last time we were here two years ago on this our 4th visit to this pretty island of the rich and famous... after walking thru the downtown marina area we continued with our beach plan walking over to Shell Beach a 10 minute walk from the pier...  only a few people were at the beach this early so it was nice...  water was beautiful.. and Shell Beach was shell beach.. also a fun time looking for sea-glass amongst all the shells along the surf..'it was back to the ship around noon for an early 230pm departure as we set sail for our next port--St Lucia arriving 7am tomorrow morning...
