Instagram Sea Escapes

Life at sea in a warm sunny spot. Doesn’t get much better than this!
I think I’ll go with yacht #1 at the top ,,, that is, if I got to choose! In pretty St Thomas, US Virgin Islands.
The mega cruiser Allure of the Seas. My home, along with another 8000 passengers & crew, last week!
The upscale & upprice seaborne sojourn in busiest Caribbean cruise port of San Juan, PR. One of these days my home at sea.
Now this is a fancy tattoo! Triton the son of Poseidon /King Neptune. Triton is also the mermaid Ariel’s dad. His mother is Salacia, the goddess of saltwater. She was afraid to marry King Neptune. But it worked out!
Homeward bound tattoo - notice how the sails lean to the right to home. Good luck sailor!
Cool book on tattoos - but not planning to get one! A clipper ship was a metaphor for life - smooth sailing but sometimes rough patches on your life voyage.
Happy Halloween from an eerie ghost ship made from light & water. What a voyage! #Aquavit & #Blueness
Beautiful catamaran filled with snorkelers in the Bahamas. Love the name: seahorse.
And who says mermaids aren’t busy working girls? She’s carrying one heck of a flower.
What a beauty!
Such a pretty figurehead on Miss Elissa!
