Sea Day With Me: Leaving St. Thomas on Icon of the Seas

sea day
Tamsen Horton and her son Tad smiling in a selfie at the railing of Icon of the Seas, with blue water, green hills of St. Thomas, and billowing white clouds behind them. Text reads "Sea Day With Me: Leaving St. Thomas."

The ship was pulling away from Crown Bay in St. Thomas. I was on the pool deck. Tad was off at the water slide park. And for a little while, there was nothing I needed to do except be there and watch it happen.

So I pressed record.

That's what you're watching. Real footage, no AI, just the view from the pool deck of Icon of the Seas as we left Charlotte Amalie West behind.

It was so blissful and so peaceful. It was also a good reminder of why I do this.

When we intentionally create businesses that support the life we want to live, getting out there and living is the best part.

That's the point of all the infrastructure. The systems, the offers, the decisions made ahead of time. They exist so there can be a day when your kid is at the water slides, you're on the pool deck, and the island is getting smaller behind you.

Filming these moments has become part of the joy for me. I love being able to turn on the video, hear the music, and be back on the boat. It's such an easy way to transport myself there, and I'll have these looping in my house so I can feel like I'm still on my cruise.

The boat gives me more than memories, too. When I'm out there, I find myself recording so many great videos and so many podcast episodes, for The Scenic Route, North Pole to New York City: Straight Line Sales, and Tamsefikation. My brain is so creative when I'm on the ocean.

For me, it really is the best place to blend working with relaxing with creating incredible memories.

This is the first video in Sea Day With Me, my growing collection of ocean views from the cruises Tad and I take. Put it on, let it loop, and bring a bit of the cruise back home with you.
