Tonight will be the last night of operation here at Maho Bay Camps, after 37 years of incredible memories. Starting tomorrow at noon the property will be closed to the public. </div>

With perfect timing, the sunset last night seemed to give us a "wink" as it set and said goodbye to all of us eating dinner. Just as it sunk below the horizon the elusive green flash was seen by those dining with us in the pavilion. Some wait decades for such an event, some have seen it multiple times. Many guests last night that have been coming for years couldn't believe they finally saw it on their last night at Maho. One guest said the last time he saw the green flash was here at Maho, in the very same spot, in the summer of 1993.What an incredible way to close out the season and end an amazing 37 year run. </div>

<b>Four-year-old Asher Davis is at home among the trees at Maho Bay Camps.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
For so many, Maho Bay Camps is a place of refuge; a place of
priceless memories with family and friends, dream vacations and your
very own treehouse. For my son, it is also home.<br />
<br />
My husband and I first came to St. John as volunteers at Maho. We had
never felt more comfortable and at home than we did in that screened
tent with lizards, frogs and spiders as roommates. I still remember the
day we left six weeks later. Sitting on the bench outside the store
waiting for the taxi was the most conflicted we have ever been. We knew
we were supposed to stay. We were both as sure about that as we had been
of anything in 10 years together. We didn’t speak more than a few words
the entire trip home.<br />
<br />
The next year we were back to stay. Friends and family thought we
were kidding; my husband’s former boss gave it six months tops. Eight
years later, it feels more like home than ever. We now have friends from
around the country and around the world. Fellow staff are more like
family and we have a love for a place we thought could only be real in a
dream.<br />
<br />
Our son is the luckiest of all. Tree frogs and full moons lulled him
to sleep. He took his first steps in a tree house. He shared play dates
and took naps on the beach. He knows more about ocean life than any kid
we know. Being around guests and staff since birth, he has never met a
stranger and can talk to anyone. Best of all, he doesn’t know any
different. This is his life, not something he saw on vacation or read in
a book. Tree houses, hermit crabs, lizards, hundreds of stairs leading
to another adventure — he thinks all children grow up this way.<br />
<br />
We know our time here is a gift for us and him, but now we have to
tell him we are leaving and can’t come back. He won’t wake up to 60-plus
staff to say good morning to. He won’t greet guests and ask them what
they saw today. He won’t watch glass blowing right before bed, then walk
home. We have tried to figure out how to tell him for the last six
months. Then, we realized we did not know how to tell him because we did
not want to admit it to ourselves.<br />
<br />
It does not seem real that the time is near. That it is true. Maho Bay Camps will officially close on May 16, 2013.<br />
<br />
Our hearts are broken for many reasons, but mostly because we always
thought that if we left, our son could come back. We never thought Maho
would really close.<br />
<br />
We have not spoken about the new owners publicly, mostly because we
do not know much about them. Rumors have swirled, names thrown out
there, plans talked about. The truth is, we don’t know what the plans
are or when anyone will know what Maho’s future entails. If we could
speak to the new owners, we would want them to know they did not just
buy a piece of land and some shacks. They bought a place of healing, of
imagination, of new friends made and precious memories created. A place
we all thought was only real in a dream. Please honor this place, the
only home my son has known. And when he does want to visit whatever is
left of Maho one day, we hope you will let him.<br />

Laying on baby Maho, just before the sun reaches the beach

with dolphins, Heron girls, living in the trees, being part of a community of
amazing people, family dinner every night, adventure Fridays with The Land
Dolphins, porch conversations with people that think crazy ideas are always the
way to go, guests that love Maho as much as the staff, guests that feel like
family, glass blowing demos/clay studio, and my loving and wonderful store
co-workers.</div>

The cubicle that our Activities staff sit in is arguably the best
possible cubicle one could ever ask for on the entire planet. Perched
high on the hillside and sitting just next to the Maho Store is a deck
area and covered booth where we talk to hundreds of guests each week
about hiking trails, boat trips, snorkeling locations, taxi tours,
restaurant suggestions, nightly Maho activities, and tons of other
possible questions one might have. The view through the 3ft by 4ft
window while you're standing at the window asking for walking directions
to Annaberg is incredible: the entire Big Maho/Francis Bay area to
Whistling Cay, Carvel Rock, St. Thomas, Peter Bay, and Henley Cay.<br />
Which cubicle would you rather have? <br />

What an incredible week it has been at Maho; we've had the pleasure of being able to watch <a href="http://www.charleslowrie.com/web/home.html" target="_blank">Charles Lowrie</a> blow glass each night after dinner, and boy has it been entertaining! His style, techniques, and incredible history with glass translates into some of the most interesting pieces we've ever seen. Last week included a humpback whale and a "Maho tree," who knows what this week will bring.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just as entertaining is watching our resident glassblowers work with Charlie. Greg & Mariel are having the time of their lives being able to work with someone of his caliber. The general energy and excitement around the gallery has certainly been taken to a new level this past week. Plus, artists attract artists! - local legend Steve Simonsen even stopped by last week to watch a demo and take a few pictures. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you're around this week be sure to stop by between 6:30pm - 9:30pm Tuesday through Saturday night, it looks like Saturday night will be his last night working at Maho. </div>

It's a rough start to a Sunday morning at Maho today, as all of us that were a part of the 17th annual 8 Tuff Miles race attempt to recover. Almost 1,500 people were registered for the race, and Maho had quite the representation. All totaled there were about 60 guests and staff that woke up before 6am to either race or volunteer. The guest taxi left at about 6:15am with close to 30 guests getting a ride into Cruz Bay. The staff truck and cars for those running totaled 15 as we left just before 6:30am. Then at close to 6:45am the Maho water station crew, 12 people strong, took off in cars and the big Maho dump truck full of supplies. Not included are however many other guests from Maho drove their personal cars to Cruz Bay to race or Coral Bay to volunteer.<br />
<br />
Needless to say, it was a quiet night at Maho last night as we all were exhausted from the event. For those that missed it this year, there's always next year! But register early, and I guess it wouldn't hurt to start your training early........like this week!<br />

Should anything new develop we'll certainly keep everyone updated. In the meantime it's been a very typical kind of season here at Maho, with plenty of happy guests enjoying a place they once enjoyed years ago or perhaps discovered just recently. We've still had many "newbies" to Maho this year, but boy have there been a lot of repeat guests and familiar faces from years past around camp lately. The general mood and attitude around camp has been very upbeat and positive as all our guests seem to be visiting, enjoying, and making the most of their last vacation to Maho. <br />

Speaking of happy guests, it's hard to tell who's more excited in this picture: the guest or the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bananaquit" target="_blank">Bananaquits</a> in his hand! If you're here this season then come up to the Kitchen/D Bath area around 8-9am and try yourself, it will certainly put a smile on your face.

<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;">Dear Campers, Staff and All Interested,<br />
<br />
We have just discovered that the property which Maho Bay Camps sits
upon has officially been sold. The only information that has been
released, is that a direct sale to an unknown buyer took place on
12/27/2012 for $13,950,000. No one is releasing any more details. We
do not know who they are or their intentions. All we know is that we
are only taking reservations until we close on May 15, 2013. We will

We hope you have a blessed New Year and get to come visit us one last time.</span>Maho Bay Campshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11905047465053270918noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205727868511641814.post-68613153618808133742012-12-30T11:40:00.001-04:002012-12-30T11:40:54.196-04:00The MHThere are a handful of hiking trails within a short distance from Maho Bay Camps, the next one we'll suggest would be the Maria Hope trail. Those of us at Maho (and probably the rest of the island) lovingly just call it "the MH" - usually said with a slight groan of displeasure. <br />
<br />
It should be noted that this is NOT an easy trail by any means, it is entirely up hill with no flat areas and a fairly steep grade. If this already sounds unappealing I'll have an alternative suggestion at the end. This trail can also be used as a means to get to the Reef Bay trail head on Centerline, which could lead to the trail to Lamsure, to Saltpond, to Coral Bay & back up the Johnny Horn trail from Coral Bay over to Annaberg then back up the driveway to Maho. If all of those trails are planned as one giant loop for the day then you're in for a challenge! Leave early and bring tons of water. We don't have a name for the entire loop yet, somehow.<br />
<br />
You'll start the day by filling your water bottle at Registration or buying plenty of Gatorade at our Maho store, you'll need it! Next you'll walk down the Goat Trail next to Housekeeping and land yourself at Big Maho beach. Walking the beach or the road past the new National Park facilities at the West end of the beach will bring you to the start of the hill to Cinnamon Bay. Walking on the road to the first big hairpin turn to the right you'll see a cement wall in front of you with the letters "MH" spray painted in white. And so starts your uphill battle! Supposedly the trail is .8 miles long, though it will feel more like 8 miles. The best news of the entire hike is that there is an incredible viewing point, as seen below. The tiny white spots are Maho tents, along with Big Maho & Francis Bay. In the center picture you can see Sage Mountain and the West End of Tortola in the distance. <br />
<br />
For further details or a little motivation to try this trail just stop by the kitchen and ask for Crispin, our Executive Chef. If he's not in the kitchen then you'll probably find him on the MH, he loves hiking it for exercise just about every morning.<br />
<br />
*Alternative* Simply hike the opposite direction! Start at Centerline road and hike down to Maho Bay beach. Think about trying this if you're on the way back to Maho from Cruz Bay or Coral Bay and someone can just drop you at the trail head. That or kick your kids out of the Jeep and tell them to meet you back at Camp if they're being too rowdy in the car! <br />
<br />
Whatever your intentions, please be sure to read <a href="http://www.seestjohn.com/trails_maria_hope.html" target="_blank">a detailed history of the trail by Gerald Singer</a> before setting out; it will give you quite a different perspective as you hike. <br />

The Night Before Christmas<br />
By Inclement Seamore<br />
<br />
'Twas the night before Christmas on land and on sea<br />
Not a creature was stirring, not even the donkey.<br />
The stockings were hung on the palm trees with care<br />
In hopes that Saint Nicholas soon would be there.<br />
The children were nestled all snug in their beds<br />
With visions of coconuts dancing in their heads.<br />
And Mama in her bandanna and I in my straw hat<br />
Were sitting there wondering where Santa was at!<br />
When down on the beach there arose such a clatter<br />
I sprang from my chair to see what was the matter.<br />
Away to the sun deck I flew in a flash<br />
Stepped on a hermit crab and came down in a crash!<br />
The moon on the water it did glow<br />
And gave the luster of midday to objects below.<br />
And what to my wondering eyes I saw on a noose<br />
But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny mongoose!<br />
With a little old driver so lively and quick<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5E_BUSayvrkWNqx0l1qp5mvW63wSeWXyeQEvq7Ov0C2ZAnCVAX-fJ9gQH753p5Q58NiPnSYbsXwnd73QN90_PbzfHwDJCkrSLEa6sPUBgBvidrGjbdmy381hb1KPd6anMUkrmjyQYXTaw/s1600/santaboat2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5E_BUSayvrkWNqx0l1qp5mvW63wSeWXyeQEvq7Ov0C2ZAnCVAX-fJ9gQH753p5Q58NiPnSYbsXwnd73QN90_PbzfHwDJCkrSLEa6sPUBgBvidrGjbdmy381hb1KPd6anMUkrmjyQYXTaw/s320/santaboat2.jpg" width="212" /></a></div>
I knew in a moment it must be Saint Nick!<br />
More rapid than pelicans, his mongoose they came<br />
And he whistled and shouted and called them by name.<br />
Now Rasta, now Pasta, now Pepper and Chili<br />
On Plantain, on Guava, on Calabash and Willie.<br />
To the top of the deck, to the top of the wall<br />
Dow dash away, dash away, dash away all.<br />
So up to the house top the mongoose they flew<br />
With a sleigh full of toys and Saint Nicholas too.<br />
He was dressed in a swim suit and Maui Jim glasses<br />
And had a sunburn from his head to his.....rear end!<br />
He spoke not a word but went straight to his work<br />
And filled all the stockings and turned with a jerk.<br />
And laying his hand on top of his head<br />
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a yell<br />
And away they all flew like a bat out of .......a cave!<br />
But I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight<br />
Happy Christmas to Maho and to all a Good Night!
<br />
<br />

.........If you've been here for Christmas you know this rendition well, Captain Fred of The Pepper sailboat will be entertaining us tonight after dinner with this (his) version of The Night Before Christmas <br />

There is more than 1 pot of gold at the end of the rainbow pictured below. This picture was taken at Maho Bay Camps, and it seems to end right at Peter Bay on the North Shore of St. John. The house located at the end of this rainbow was originally listed at $32M and <a href="http://www.stjohnvirealestateblog.com/?p=3295" target="_blank">sold last year for $14M</a>. While all other houses in Peter Bay are worth less, we're still talking about 10 or 12 properties currently worth between $3M - $9M; that's quite a few pots of gold, to say the least. </div>

Currently on display (and for sale) are the three items below, pieces hand-made by the extremely talented visiting artist <a href="http://www.gbrian.com/Home.html" target="_blank">GBrian Juk</a><br />
<br />
If you've missed seeing GBrian Juk at one of our free nightly demonstrations (Tuesday through Saturday night 6:30-9:30pm) then you'll get plenty of other opportunities throughout this season to see different visiting artists here at Maho.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span>Born
in 1934 in Gloustershire, England, he is the son of the influential
potter Michael Cardew. Seth studied art and sculpture at the Chelsea
School of Art in London and the Camberwell School of Art. Afterwards,
he spent fourteen years in the film industry making clay sets for
studios at Borehamwood, Pinewood and Elstree. Sets for the
multi-award-winning film <i>Cleopatra</i> are among his credits. In 1971 Cardew joined his father, <a href="http://www.studiopottery.com/cgi-bin/mp.cgi?item=137" target="_blank"><span style="color: #021f8c; letter-spacing: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">Michael Cardew</span></a>, at <a href="http://www.studiopottery.com/cgi-bin/mp.cgi?item=199" target="_blank"><span style="color: #021f8c; letter-spacing: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">Wenford Bridge</span></a> and
started potting in earnest in 1974. By the time of his father's death
in 1983, Seth had established himself as an important potter in his own
right and took over operation of Wenford Bridge Pottery.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="-moz-font-feature-settings: normal; -moz-font-language-override: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 1.4px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> Because
he worked with his father, Michael Cardew, Seth was able to witness the
roots of today’s studio pottery movement as it was developing. His
father Michael had studied under Bernard Leach when he was younger so
the friendship continued over the years while Seth worked at Wenford.
Many fine potters were students at Wenford Bridge including Svend Bayer,
Clive Bowen, Michael O’ Brian and Danlami Aliyu among others. The
energy that was generated there went on to influence a generation of
young potters in the United States as well. Creating a wave of
experimentation and discovery based on these traditional methods. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span>Seth’s
son is Ara Cardew, a third generation potter of the Cardew family of
potters. He is now a permanent resident of New Hampshire. He has taught
several great “Hands-On, Participation Workshops” at Maho Bay Clay Works
and will be a visiting artist here in February. For that workshop
participants will get a chance to get up to their elbows in mud! Ara
will be on hand for his father’s workshop and we anticipate some fun
collaborative moments.</span></span></span></div>

on St. John are honored to have Seth visit us this December. Seth’s
pottery style is a slip technique with oxide and cobalt painted on the
pottery piece once it has been bisque. Besides demonstrating this
technique during his workshop at Maho Bay, he will also be discussing
the art of shape making and why we make the forms we do from a function
and aesthetic perspective.</span></span></span></div>

Ever feel like you just can't stay away from Maho? That whenever you leave you just have to return as soon as possible? We have plenty of guests that feel this way, but now we have 2 dogs that have the same problem!<br />
<br />
Pictured below are Bear & Bean, and if they look tired there's a very good reason - they left their home in Fish Bay yesterday and have been traveling on foot (paw?) to Maho for the past 24 hours. The pictures are from 2 months ago, this past Thursday was their 7th such trip to Maho!<br />

For those not familiar with the island, Fish Bay is a LONG way away from
Maho. The route most likely taken would be Fish Bay to Reef Bay, down
to the smoothie stand on Centerline, Francis, then Maho. This can't be
confirmed though because we've had reports of seeing them on the Johnny
Horn trail and at Annaberg prior to them trotting down our driveway and
anxious for fresh water. Any way you look at it, they travel long and hard to visit us each week. The first time took a day to figure out who the owner was, but now we've got her number on speed dial. Pictured below is Kelly, their owner, who has now made plenty of trips to Maho retrieving her pups.<br />
<br />
The reason they come here is unclear, but judging by the pictures above they seem to enjoy relaxing on our couches in staff section before Kelly shows up!<br />

We may have the opportunity you were waiting for: a job and a place to live! It may only be until we close on May 15th, 2013 but how fun would it be to go snorkeling before or after work? Hiking and boating on your days off? Laying in the sun and calling your friends and family from the beach in December?<br />

If you're thinking about visiting us this winter but need a little extra savings to seal the deal, we've found the perfect motivator: the Virgin Islands Saver book, priced at $79. <br />
<br />
This book is exactly like all the books you've seen in other major cities, only issued for the Virgin Islands. Imagine that...... saving money in the Virgin Islands?!<br />
<br />
Maho Bay has 2 deals in the book<br />
<br />
1) 5th night free, a $145 value<br />
A purchase of the book pays for itself with this coupon alone! <br />
<br />
2) Free Maho Bay glass blowing shirt with purchase of our sea star or ornament glass blowing class, a $25 value. A perfect way to try glass blowing for the first time or start those Christmas present ideas with a hand blown ornament made by yourself.<br />
<br />
If you plan on doing anything else besides laying on the beach this book will pay for itself, especially if you use it to come stay with us. You can review our two deals and further details on their website through the links below: <br />

On the official <b><i>Maho newsworthy items scale</i> <i>that may interest would-be travelers to Maho</i></b>, this story rates at about a 1 out of 10 if you've never been here before. For those that have vacationed or lived here it might jump all the way to a 1.5 out of 10. Sometimes it just takes a slight change in our usual patterns here on the island for us to start getting curious and talking, and this was definitely the talk of the morning here at Maho during breakfast!<br />
<br />
This morning at about 6:15am my eyes awoke to an unusual sight, while my ears awoke to an unusual sound: waves crashing at Little & Big Maho, and white caps in the middle of the bay. The sound of waves at the beach isn't particularly abnormal, it happens every month or two during the winter, but in all of my years here I can't ever remember a time when I saw waves breaking out beyond Cinnamon Cay. Waves breaking beyond Cinnamon takes the perfect swell as well as the perfect wind and perhaps even the perfect moon (a Hunter's Moon today). The swell is NW, while the wind is SW this morning. Nobody here at Maho (even those here more than a decade!) can ever remember a time when waves were breaking beyond Cinnamon. Needless to say, Johnson's Reef is pretty wild this morning. Looking carefully you can see quite a few white waves beyond the one breaking wave in the foreground of above picture. <br />
<br />
Related yet even more obscure and ranking a possible .5 out of 10 on our <b><i>Maho newsworthy items scale</i> <i>that may interest would-be travelers to Maho</i></b>, are the breaking waves at Great and Little Tobago next to Jost Van Dyke and a part of our view from the Pavilion Restaurant. While it's interesting to watch the waves breaking at Little Tobago, it's even more interesting to see the wave action in the foreground just before Little Tobago; imagine Johnson's Reef only much smaller and in the middle of the ocean between Little Tobago and Whistling Cay. It's rumored to be called Kings Rock, which is normally a shallow area of water in the middle of the ocean never really seen or talked about. In fact, I don't think most boats would need to concern themselves with it if sailing in the area (this is not a confirmed source!). The point is that this swell action we have this morning is giving us a brief "view" of what lies beneath the surface out near Little Tobago. <br />

By 6pm last night all of Maho Bay Camps was once again shut down and prepared for Tropical Storm Rafael, which was to move over us in the later afternoon and through the night. Watching the sunset like it did last night was never what we would have expected after the 11am NHC update. We were expecting very heavy rains and 40mph winds by 6pm, and instead get a beautiful evening with barely a breath of wind in the air and no rain.<br />
<br />
The 5pm, 8pm and 11pm NHC updates told us a story we very much enjoyed reading about: the storm was headed more North and even North NorthEast, with the center passing about 100 miles to our East instead of directly over us or to our West. Most of the "bad stuff" in the storm was the rain and wind located in the southeastern portion of the storm. Through the night the winds were calm and very little rain developed. This morning we're seeing bits of rain and cloudy skies, but we'll take it compared to what was supposed to be here!<br />

Tuesday morning the 9th of October was International Coastal Cleanup day for Maho Bay Camps. Each year around this time we volunteer to walk the beaches of Big Maho, Little Maho and Francis Bay, picking up every bit of trash we can find. A more beautiful morning could not have been found as we started scouring the beaches at 9am. Not a single soul on Big Maho the entire time! Ah the off-season. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This year we had 6 of us volunteer for the 3 beaches, collecting a total of 2 large 45 gallon garbage bags worth of trash from all three beaches.....not that bad if the goal is to not find much trash! Last year it seemed like we collected quite a bit more trash, especially from Big Maho, and especially from the road and parking areas just off the beach. This year we were pleasantly surprised by how little trash was left near the parking spots at Big Maho, with the exception of the handful of styrofoam food containers where it looked like people stopped to enjoy dinner and thew the container out the window of where they were parked. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What did we find? Exactly what you would expect: lots of cigarette butts (about 150 total), many many plastic sandwich bags and tinfoil (bringing lunch to the beach), cans, bottles, bottle caps, 1 pair of underwear, and lots of eating utensils. Data cards provided by the Ocean Conservancy were filled out, and ideally our findings will be shared and analyzed. With any luck our findings will result in future education, legislation, or perhaps signage at each beach - here's to thinking big!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another interesting note were the glass bottles we found, in that only a handful were found on the beaches. The National Park does a great job of advertising and enforcing the no glass bottle rule on beaches, but unfortunately we found about 30 bottles (mostly Heineken) along the driveway to Francis beach. So technically most of the "weight" from our cleanup came from walking the road to Francis, alongside the salt pond. </div>
