Extraordinary! Villa del Sole, Mahoe Bay, Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands!
We had an incredible time staying at fabulous Villa del Sole, Mahoe Bay, Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands in May, 2010! This is a tour of most of the rooms, pool, gardens, as well as the views from the elevated gazebo. The gazebo sets this villa apart and we spent a great deal of time in the gazebo, enjoying the views of early morning sunrises to the night lights of Tortola.
This villa is owned by Mario and Joan Soncini, and Joan has written an outstanding book on Virgin Gorda that is loaded with photographs

Trumpetfish! Snorkeling Mahoe Bay, Virgin Gorda British Virgin Islands Caribbean
I came across this trumpetfish, approx. 20 long, in 6' of water or so Trumpetfish change colors in order to camouflage themselves with their environment and are often seen swimming with schools of other fish. I have seen a trumpetfish in a school of blue tang almost exactly the color of the tang. I have also seen them change color fairly quickly as the color of their environment changes. They generally swim slowly, sneaking up on small fish, or lie motionless like a floating stick, swaying back and forth with the wave action of the water. However, they move quickly when they sense danger. When this fish realized I was near, he hid under a piece of coral. In addition to changing color, trumpetfish often swim vertically in order to blend in with vertical coral.

School of Tang that You Can Hear Eating! Mahoe Bay, Virgin Gorda BVI Caribbean
I snorkeled with this school of tang in approx. 15' of water, May 17, 2010, mid-afternoon. The visibility was excellent on this snorkel and if you turn up the volume, the clicking sound you hear is the sound of tang and other fish eating. Tang are herbivores and eat algae and zooplankton growing on coral. Mahoe Bay Snorkeling photos:
Beautiful Shore Diving with Alex and Amy, Mahoe Bay, Virgin Gorda BVI Caribbean
We were a bit deeper in this video, in approximately 15' of water. Mahoe Bay, Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands, is a fantastic snorkeling reef and is also one of the few places on Virgin Gorda where you can do a very pleasant shore dive in 6' to 20' of water. We swam several hundred yards off shore to the sandy patch area between the inner and outer reef. The visibility was excellent in the middle of the afternoon, May 18, 2010.

Large School of Tang in 8' of Water, Mahoe Bay, Virgin Gorda BVI Caribbean
I snorkeled with this school of tang in approx. 8' of water during our first snorkel at Mahoe Bay, May 15, 2010, late morning. It never ceases to amaze me how a school of 100+ fish can swim together, almost as one organism. In the middle of this clip, I thought I saw a barracuda out of the corner of my eye, and briefly shifted the camera to the left. My brother, Casey, and I were snorkeling with a large school of tang in Mahoe a few years ago when it seemed like an explosion suddenly shattered the school in hundreds of directions at once! Out of the corner of our eye, we saw a barracuda quickly swimming off with a tang in its mouth. Mahoe Bay Snorkeling photos:
Savannah Bay Beach, Virgin Gorda - British Virgin Islands
Savannah Bay Beach is the longest stretch of sand on Virgin Gorda, and we walked it all—taking photos and video along the way. That is what you will see here.
We spent a week on Virgin Gorda for our honeymoon. This island in the British Virgin Islands is most famous for The Baths, but there are treasures to be explored and enjoyed around every turn. We highly recommend a visit, just don’t forget to sink your toes into the sand of Savannah Bay Beach.

A Salty Passion: Hi! We are Ryan (RumShopRyan) and Crystal (Castaway Crystal), we document, photograph, and film the best the Caribbean has to offer. Whether it’s stunning beaches, relaxing hotels, friendly restaurants, or soggy beach bars…we want to share it and inspire others to explore the islands.
MEET US!
Who Is RumShopRyan:
Howdy! I’m Ryan and I hail from the land-locked, can’t get any further from the ocean, state of Kansas. I moved to laid back southwest Florida in 2001. I didn’t know a single person and didn’t have a job. Risky I know, but the ocean was calling and I had to answer.
I’m a huge fan of Kansas City sports, so you’ll probably see a lot of Jayhawks, Chiefs and Royals attire in my photos. Kansas City is a great town and I’m glad I’m from there, but the coastal life was calling. It’s kind of like Kenny Chesney’s “island boy” song. Check out the lyrics and you’ll see what I mean.
I write because I’m passionate about the Caribbean and the island lifestyle, and it’s my way to share it with you. If it has anything to do with the Caribbean, rum drinks, beach style music, or Caribbean culture, you’ll be able to find it on this site.
When in the Caribbean you’ll find a camera around my neck and note pad in my pocket. This is how I document the experiences in unique and interesting ways and bring it back to you, the Castaways.
Who is Castaway Crystal:
I was raised in Southwest Florida so it’s no surprise that I have a love for beaches, water and nature. As a child, most weekends were spent fishing in the warm gulf waters on the family boat. As an adult, most weekends are spent soaking up the sun on Ft. Myers Beach. Even though I have always loved the coastal life, I don’t think I fully appreciated it until I moved to Nashville, TN. I’m all about experiencing new things, and as a Licensed Massage Therapist I thought it would be amazing to massage some of Nashville’s biggest stars (a girl can dream right?). But I missed the sun and sand too much—and let’s not forget the rum runners! After a year I couldn’t take it anymore, this sun bunny moved back to her coast of somewhere beautiful.
I’ve always been passionate about photography and writing but my passions never really had a purpose until I met Ryan. I couldn’t be happier being Ryan’s first mate and sharing my photos and stories with you. May they inspire you to go after your tropical dreams and wishes. Make a plan…Set a date…Just go!

Natural beauty is in abundance on the third largest of the British Virgin Islands. Explore the indigenous plant-lined trails, nature sanctuaries and natural wonders of the protected national parks. By mid-morning in Virgin Gorda, many have settled down on one of the many deserted beaches that fringe the island. The pace of life is slow on Virgin Gorda, but if you don't want to spend the day on a beach, there are plenty of other activities. You could explore The Baths- huge boulders provide a myriad of rock pools, secret beaches, and trails. Or spend the morning at a hillside restaurant cooled by gentle breezes while you watch the ferries cross the North Sound far below. Dramatic slopes plunge from Gorda Peak to the turquoise waters below.

Glorius Sunlight!!! Alex & Amy Shore Diving at Mahoe Bay, Virgin Gorda BVI Caribbean
The sun's rays glistening through the 10' to 12' of water made this dive glorious! We are careful underwater not to touch anything living, but Amy took advantage of this dive to collect a few shells. Before we began the dive, I thought we had an agreement that they would stay near each other when I shot video, but Amy got distracted by a couple of shells and you can hear me gently remind her to stay closer to her brother, lol! Mahoe Bay is a fantastic snorkeling reef and is also one of the few places on Virgin Gorda where you can do a very pleasant shore dive in 6' to 20' of water. We swam several hundred yards off shore to the sandy patch area between the inner and outer reef. The visibility was excellent in the middle of the afternoon, May 18, 2010.
