is there a ferry to St. Barth and what are the details? Time, cost etc.

There are. Details escape me but I think there is one that leaves from Pelican, cost around $50-$60 per person. Trip was around 45 minutes.

I understand the waters can be rough and you may get sick

Very rough ride on the way over there. You want to take the fasted boat possible, not a sailboat, in my opinion. We have taken the Edge (45mins) and the Voyager (1 1/2 hrs). Would recommend the Edge, but some still got sick. Coming back is a piece of cake, and you can actually even drink the free cocktail then that they offer without turning green. Consider flying!!

of 40 people on board...35, minimum, were barfing over the side. 5 of us were brought up on roller coasters, I suppose. In my case, flew jets forever...now retired...my body has learned to handle most motion with no problem. HOWEVER.the smell of what was going on about did me in...couldn't escape it. !!! spike.

spike, sounds like a wonderful trip over....

Trip back, by the way is much easier. Primarily, you are with the wind coming back meaning your time enroute is shorter. Second, being with the wind, you're not battling the seas but going "with the flow" so to speak...a LOT less rough in the late PM, too, as the winds die down a bit. It's all about the winds. If they're blowing, as they do in the winter months, it'll be a long, awful ride to St Barts no matter what sea worthy vehicle you chose to go in. HIghly recommend the plane hop from Grand Case if you tend toward motion sickness.
