[@BeforeIKicktheBucket1]

Another interesting tour....especially now in winter LOL.....great views...

[@Packsalot]

Thanks. This was definitely warmer than the winter back home. It was a fun day at the beach. Take care.

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

Looked like fun snorkeling (until the rash) 😜 Nice sunset 👍

[@Packsalot]

Thanks Dave. Yep, that coral bites! It took 3 weeks for the abrasion to heal. It was a beautiful area to visit and explore. Thanks for watching. Have a wonderful day.

[@WanderingwithWatto]

Super cool looked a lot of fun. 👍🏻🚶🏻‍♂️🚶🏼‍♀️

[@Packsalot]

Thanks Watto. We had a great time. We love cruising and the ports of call that you get to visit. Can't wait to go again. Have a wonderful day.

[@FollowThomas]

This is a beautiful island and the winter is the right place to be there. Beautiful beach to spend a day. The water is so clear and blue that I can almost feel how warm it is. 😊

[@Packsalot]

Thanks Thomas. It was beautiful there. Watch out for that coral though. LOL. Have a great day.

[@vloggergerritputtershoek]

Thank you for these beautiful underwater images

[@Packsalot]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the under water video. Have a wonderful day.

[@tangenttrails]

Fun, fun! Thanks for sharing.✌️

[@Packsalot]

Thank you. It was a great escape from winter and a change in scenery. Lots of fun too even with the water phobia. We will be headed to Texas in April. Should be fun. Have a great day.

[@DroningVeteran]

What an amazing adventure.

[@Packsalot]

Thanks! We love cruising. So much fun to see the different countries. So beautiful and fun. Thanks for watching. Have a nice day.

[@waikarimoana]

Awesome footage and video Steve, thanks for showing us this beautiful country, very enjoyable wath, thanks and greetings from NZ,, Tony.

[@Packsalot]

Thank you Tony. It is only a matter of time before we make it to your beautiful country too. Can't wait. It will likely be in 2027. Should be fun. Have a great day.

[@IvorsTravels]

St Thomas looks a very pleasant port of call. The snorkelling is something I have often fancied but not tried. Love the viewpoint.

[@Packsalot]

Thanks. St Thomas was a really nice port of call on our cruise. It was a fun day at the beach and playing in the water even though it is a phobia of mine. Glad you enjoyed the video and area. Have a wonderful day.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Beautiful sunrise and a beautiful place too. Stunning beach and that water looked crystal clear too, I bet it was like swimming in a warm bath! Never been snorkelling before, despite living close to the coast but even in mid summer The North Sea is always baltic. It is only when you see a couple of those small boats next to the cruise ship you fully appreciate how big it actually is, cheers Alan

[@Packsalot]

Thank you Alan. It was a beautiful place to visit. Snorkeling would be more fun for me if I was not afraid of the water and the fish that are bigger than me that swim there! LOL. Hopefully you will get to visit the Caribbean someday to snorkel. You will probably love it. It is impressive the size of those ships. It is amazing that they can even float. We love cruising and traveling. It is a great way to travel abroad. Take care and have a wonderful day.

[@TooMuchLuggage]

I love Saint Thomas. The water look so great. Enjoy every moment

[@Packsalot]

Thank you! This was a great cruise with wonderful ports of call. Can't wait to go again. Thanks for watching. Have a wonderful day.

[@Packsalot]

Thanks! The beach and the water were fantastic. Well worth the visit. Thanks for watching. Have a wonderful day.

[@FishfearmeStudios]

I can’t believe you got in the water. Seeing the fish was cool

[@Packsalot]

Thanks Jason. It was out of my comfort zone for sure. Still fun despite the anxiety. I hope you are landing some big ones today through the ice. Have a great day.

[@tiff4truth450]

Amazing trip! Love the Iguanas. I'm also terrified of the ocean! Thanks for sharing!

[@Packsalot]

Thank you! It was a fun trip even with braving the fear of the water. Thanks for watching. Have a wonderful day.

[@WhereToNextDad]

That was a great port stop. Beautiful water

[@Packsalot]

Thanks. St Thomas is pretty amazing and beautiful. Well worth the stop. Thanks for watching. Have a nice day.

[@JenniferLupine]

Hi Steve and Kristy- beautiful sunshine and tropical weather in Saint Thomas! The warm weather and clear blue water sure look inviting. Fun to snorkel, even for a bit and see the fish and critters on the reef. Cool lizards roaming around on all the plants and trees- great close-ups! Hope you had some tasty tropical fruit too! - Jen 🌴🌴🌞🌞🤿

[@Packsalot]

Thanks Jennifer! This was a fun trip and port of call. The island, beaches, and the waters were wonderful. Loved seeing the iguana up close too. So fun. Can't wait to get out on another adventure! Have wonderful day.

[@JenniferLupine]

@@PacksalotI’ve heard they’ve got lots of green iguanas in Florida too! I haven’t visited there for ages. Have a great week!

[@DonnaTaibossigai]

Sounds like a great way to spend New Years! It was awesome seeing some corals and urchins. So fun to explore the water and shore.

[@Packsalot]

Thanks Donna. This cruise was wonderful for a relaxing and fun way to start the new year. The destinations were all really nice too. Have a wonderful day.

[@JimHayesHiking]

Shark!!!! LOL! Looks like you had an awesome time and no snow either.

[@Packsalot]

Thanks for the scare Jim! I would not be able to handle it if you were to yell that while I was snorkeling. LOL. I'd need an entire case of CZ to help me settle down! Thanks for watching. Have a wonderful day.

[@ASTHECROWFLIESHIKING]

Wow! That looks amazing. Glad ya'll got to experience that beautiful place. Great video Packs! Crow

[@Packsalot]

Thanks! It was a beautiful place. We were loving the destinations on this cruise. Better than snow! LOL. Have a great day.

[@freakinoutdoors3935]

Glad you got some under water footage. My wife's feels the same way. She had a good laugh. Beautiful place! Enjoy your trip.

[@Packsalot]

Thanks Bryce. Glad you enjoyed the video and the fear of the water with me. LOL. I braved the phobia and still had fun. Thanks for watching. Have a wonderful day.

[@MinuteontheMountain]

Looks like a ton of fun, Steve. I've definitely been wishing for some sunshine.

[@Packsalot]

Thanks John. It was a great time and beautiful warm weather too. Seems we have been on a warming trend here as well. Can't wait to get back on the trail again. Have a great day.

[@TheWanderingWulfs]

Loving all these tropical scenes. Especially since it's still cold and wintery where we are. 😆 Looking forward to warmer weather! Snorkeling looked fun! Thanks for taking us with you.

[@Packsalot]

Thank you! It was a lovely beach and area to relax. A lot better than our winter here as well. We love cruising. Can't wait to go again. Have a wonderful day.

[@wendingourway]

Oh, a sunny and warm beach, how I miss thee!! Don't go sticking your hand in any of those hole down there!! LOL Those little sea clams (lol) are what we call "periwinkles." Not sure if that what others call them or not. Did enjoy Saint Thomas! Awesome day!

[@Packsalot]

Thanks Bruce. It was pretty nice and warm. that coral is some wicked stuff in its own right let along the creatures that lurk there. We had some beautiful ports of call on this cruise. So much fun. Have a wonderful day.

[@yasminshikingmission]

That beach looks so nice 😊 water is crystal clear and snorkelling looks like fun quite a few fish to see there. Nice to find a quieter stretch of the beach 😊

[@Packsalot]

Thank you! It was a fun time in a beautiful area. The beach and water were nice. A bit scary for me but still fun. Thanks for watching. Have a wonderful day.

[@Yorkshirelad84]

Amazing trip looks an amazing beach 😊

[@Packsalot]

Thank you so much! It was a fun time and beautiful place to visit. Thanks for watching. Have a nice day.

[@NBNatureTrailvan]

An absolutely stunning place Steve - the beaches looked just so beautiful And a huge cruise liner - they must have a lot of training and skill to manouvre those amazing ships.

[@Packsalot]

Thanks Dave. It was a lovely beach. The snorkeling would have been a whole lot more fun if I did not have the water phobia but I did make the best of it. I'm amazed at the skill of the captains and what they can do with these ships! Thanks for watching. Have a wonderful day.

[@ChristianPaulPhotography]

Wow nice port! Sea Urchin! Snorkeling 🤿 is not my thing I have the same fobia! Man what a gorgeous beach! 🏝️

[@Packsalot]

Thanks! This was a wonderful beach. The snorkeling was still fun even with the anxiety but enough is enough when it comes to a water phobia. We were up by your place having lunch at Italian village today. Oh so good. Our favorite place for a pizza bender! Thanks for watching. Have a great day.

[@ChristianPaulPhotography]

@@Packsalot​​⁠Italian Village is food coma village! If there is a thing called Americanized Italian comfort food, that place has it on lock! I had to put new struts on the Jeep today. It’s cold out there! Hope you two had a great day!

[@Packsalot]

@@ChristianPaulPhotography Oh so good. I had to come home and take a nap! 😂

[@FXWalesAnnaAlf]

Fabulous way to spend new years guys. This place was amazing, the port looked gorgeous as you travelled in :) The sea was so blue at Sapphire Beach and I loved the underwater footage there considering you have water phobia Steve you did great 🙌That iguana was massive and scarily cute ! Love the steel drums. Looks like you had a fantastic time. Hope your war wound is OK now, that was great 👍~ Anna

[@Packsalot]

Thanks Anna. We had a great new years trip. It was our first time doing something like this over the New Years weekend. I faced my phobia this day but when the water is deep and the fish are bigger than me I'm ready to get back tot he beach! LOL. It was awesome to get so close to the iguanas. They are so cool looking. Thanks for watching. Have a wonderful day.

[@AdventuresAreOutThere]

St. Thomas is one of my favorite islands! That water you snorkeled in was so clear! You saw lots of lizards!! lol i always love sailing out of the port at the end of the day, then its dinner time lol :)

[@Packsalot]

Thank you Melissa. This was an awesome port to visit again. I see why you like it. I'm afraid of water but still had fun seeing the fish and coral. The lizards were pretty awesome to see up close too. Time for dinner! LOL. Have a great day.

[@paddle_hike]

Awesome trip! I miss the beach and ocean. I have my AOW by PADI (advance open water certification). But I haven't went diving for years. Pretty cool trip my friend. I miss the warm weather. Take care and thanks for sharing the beautiful footage and zen sound of the waves and all :)

[@Packsalot]

Thanks Alex. That is awesome. Sounds like you enjoy what I'm afraid of. I faced my phobia for a bit and did some snorkeling. Now I can't wait to get out hiking again. Instead of bobbing in the ocean as shark feed and I get my boots on the ground! Have a great day.

[@HappyPlaceCamping]

Absolutely gorgeous water. This would be the biggest draw for me. I can't get over how clear that water is. If I could swim well, I'd love to do the snorkeling. I've always thought that was so cool to swim with all the pretty underwater. Are there not lizards in Utah? We have them in MO. Maybe not same kind, but we do have them and they are fast little buggers. Ouch! Hope your leg is better now. You sure do seem to hurt yourself a lot. Never really noticed before. Maybe cuz I'm always hurting myself that it just seems like normal behavior 😆Awesome trip!

[@Packsalot]

Thanks Felix. It was a beautiful beach and awesome weather. Watch out for the coral though. It bites! LOL. We do not have iguanas here but we do have lots of lizards. The leg abrasion took 3 weeks to heal. Maybe I should have peed on it right after it happened. I hear peeing on it is a neutralizer of the poison. Its probably a myth and maybe they just want to see how many people will pee on themselves. LOL. I usually do not get hurt this often but it seems that way lately. I just need to make sure I have a full bladder when I do. Haha. It was fun and scary to snorkel but I'm glad I tried it again. Thanks for watching. Have a great day.

[@PlacesWeGoExploring]

Hi Steve, that was awesome exploring the beach in St Thomas. How did you manage to record and keep the camera dry at the same time? It was nice to see the sea floor full of life and cool lizards hanging out in the shade. Caribbean Sea islands are still eluding us. Hopefuly we will make it there someday soon. Thanks for the share! Have a good evening!

[@Packsalot]

Thank you. We had a great time. I do all my recording on my phone. They have waterproof phone pouches that you can put them in. Sometimes the image quality is degraded some but it does a pretty decent job. A cruise is one of the best ways to visit multiple islands in the same trip. They are super affordable too. I hope you make it to the Caribbean someday. It is a beautiful place to visit. Have a wonderful day.

[@EventyrsorenDenmark]

It is really beautiful here. What AM I doing in the north at this time of year ??? 😊😊😊

[@Packsalot]

Thanks for watching. I am going to guess you decided to go on a cruise or you are traveling abroad. No matter, I hope you have a wonderful time and I can't wait to see your adventure. Have a wonderful day.

what camera are you using?

[@Packsalot]

Thanks for watching. I do all my video on my Galaxy S23 phone set to 4K resolution. For the water segments I was using a clear waterproof phone pouch. However, sometimes the phone pouch does not give clear images through the plastic cover. Thanks again. Have a great day.

[@mariesene224]

@@Packsalot nice. I could have sworn it was a professional camera the way the image looked.
