British Virgin Islands was a beautiful place and had so much fun and I’m so happy I got to experience it. But since we weren’t able to get into dock with the boat and being on anchor for the past three days I’m kinda relieved of leaving for Saint Marteen now. I miss taking walks and being outside of the boat a little bit.
Today was quiet chill tho since everyone went fishing and there was no need for us detailing the boat since we were going to leave later today. I even got the opportunity to help Jazper with some deckhand duties. We had to swim around the boat and clean it from the outside and I really enjoyed it! The currents was kind of strong so it was a struggle to stay close to the boat but, hey at least it’s a workout lol.

Sitting on the first shift of night watch with the captain right now. Will take us about 12 hours to get there but my chief stew giving me time to sleep in ‘til 8:30am at least so that’ll be nice!
Super excited to wake up to this new place I’ve heard so much good off! Hopefully we’ll stay there for at least a week or so ☺️☺️

Last night some of us on the boat got woken up by a fire drill planned by the owner and the captain. Can’t say I strongly agree on their ways of doing it but couldn’t agree more on how extremely important it is. I was even talking to the owner today about how we need to do this on a more regular basis and really go through who is doing what if it would actually happen. The risks onboard a big boat or boat overall are so high it’s scary to even think off.

Today was a little more fun tho when we took out all the water toys and I finally got to drive a seabob. I’ve always wanted to try one after seeing videos of people driving them. And we ended off the day taking the tender boat to a beach bar where we had food and everybody just had a great time. It is the moment like these with this crew and owner I enjoy the most. You become like a family and to be able to enjoy places like these together is just amazing!

The trip to the British Virgin Islands went smoothly and felt faster than it was. Took about 30 hours but with my two shifts on the night watch and more sleep than usual it felt way faster. For the first time in a month I didn’t wake up at 6 am (obviously since that’s when I actually got off), my chief stew let me sleep in and was going to wake me up when I was needed. I woke up at 10:30 freaking out of the thought that I’ve slept all day lol. We’re only on anchor but the view is amazing! I can’t believe I’m actually at one of the British Virgin Islands! What an experience and I feel so lucky to be able to spend a few days here before heading over to the next island.
