"Sanctuary is a word which here means a small safe place in a troubling world. Like an oasis in a vast desert or an island in a stormy sea." - Lemony Snickett This was the very first photo from our pigeon island trip that I edited. The shapes and colors formed by my @finfolkproductions tail and this stunning driftwood swirl have so much movement, almost like a circle or wave. . . . . . .

Between the winds, between the waves Between the sands, between the shores From the shell The song of the sea Neither quiet nor calm 🌊⚓🌬 . . . . . . . . . . . The thing I love most about @finfolkproductions is how great they are for traveling! I brought my selkie inspired painted Black Dahila fabric tail on a camping trip to a tiny island in the middle of lake Wakatipu that is only accessible by boat and it takes up way less room (and weighs wayyy less) than my silicone tail (see second photo for the size of the boat we took). I had a lot of fun editing these photos too, @willieswings knocked it out of the park! The spotting (all done with acrylic and fabric spray paint) makes blending waistlines, tail wrinkles, etc. so much easier and makes the tail completely unique. Have you customized your fabric tails? I know I've seen some awesome customization from @mermanchristian and a few other Finfolk Pod members! Let me know (or send me a DM with photos so I can see!) 👇👇 . .

Call me mermaid Skye, queen of Wekas 🐥 Pigeon Island is a 1.7 square km (about 1/2 mile) Island in the middle of Lake Wakatipu with 2 cabins and only accessible by boat. Last week, Willie and our friend Luke ferried 8 people (4 separate trips) in an inflatable dingy across choppy wind-swept waters (in the rain) and camped on the island with a group of friends. Although we had a rough and waterlogged start, the weather cleared up for a beautiful evening and night (so I was off the hook for lugging a tail and camera on the boat, even if it was a fabric one) 👌 The island is home to native bird and tree species, the most apparent of which is the buff Weka, a chicken-like bird that was re-introduced to the island is 2006 as part of an endangered species relocation/protection program. The weka's have no predators on the island and give zero clucks about humans... constantly stealing chips, corn cobs, and other small food items, pecking at wetsuits, climbing on mermaid tails, and photobombing mermaid photoshoots. 😈😈 One brave Weka snuck behind my fluke and slowly emerged during this photo set. As you can see I got very excited about this. ☺ @finfolkproductions is doing a flash sale today in celebration of their new ambassador @verobeachmermaid!

Headed over to Pigeon Island too and checked out the historical ruins of Rodney Fort, the name sake of @admiralrodneyrum. Beautiful views from the top, and you could make out Martinique too, only 30 miles away. Once back down, i stopped by Barnacles Bar where the owner has one of the best rum and rhum selections on the island, including a beautiful @rhumlafavorite Ti Punch! #martinique #rhum #rhumlove #pigeonisland #stlucia #caribbean #rodneyfort #views #scenic #bay #cocktails (at Pigeon Island National Park, St. Lucia, East Caribbean) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5ZJOLCFrgO/?igshid=erz8avtiz5og
