We were incredibly blessed to meet these new friends, last week, for a beautiful week in the US Virgin Islands 🏝😍

We had so MUCH FUN! Live music & magical sunsets at the Windmill bar, hikes, some seriously cool snorkels - like an aquarium under the boat, night snorkeling, fishing, paddle board races, birthday celebrations, scuba diving & a wicked night dive where we saw an octopus who hung out for a few minutes, lobster, coral banded shrimp among others! Making new friends, all the laughs, sunshine & relaxation 😎👯‍♀️♥️

Can’t wait to have you guys back 😜

Also Deb (Tex & Tina) but mostly Deb goes down in Deep Blue history for managing to raise the main sail almost completely, by hand, no winching until the very end. Massive respect. She beat all the boys, ever, on Deep blue

*A massive shout out to JBL whose JBL boombox speaker not only floats but also works after being partially submerged in sea water with the charging port in 👏🏼*

Swimming with turtles in Maho bay - it’s incredible. Seeing these guys chillin’ & swimming & eating in their NATURAL habitat, right off the back of Deep Blue.
It’s so important to respect our ocean environment - no touching turtles or anything for that matter including coral.
We use as many eco products as we can on board Deep Blue and double filter our own fresh water to keep single use plastics down to a minimum.

Not to mention 2 scuba dives, sailing, an fun afternoon eating delicious tacos at , trails to ruins & experiencing some of the history these islands have to offer …
