St Maarten

We got off the ship nice and early in this final Caribbean port and caught a shuttle bus to a lesser-known beach named Mullet Bay. This spot was an absolutely stunning crescent shape and we literally spent the whole time in the water swimming.

There were a couple of catamarans anchored in the bay bringing snorkelers. We talked one of the guides into giving us an ice cold beer to drink in the water. The heads on either side of the bay were coral barriers sheltering the crystal clear water. It was idyllic and a fabulous way to finish our time in the Caribbean.

From here we begin our Transatlantic Voyage! This means 6 days straight of what the crew call “aqua, aqua, aqua”, one day in the Azores Islands (on our Wedding Anniversary) and then two more days at sea before we finally reach Portugal. I’m hoping to blog about the ship and life here over since there won’t be any exciting ports to share! x
