Let’s hear it for the team behind the camera who captured every unforgettable moment of Sail250 New Orleans for the world to see. ⚜️📸

They say New Orleans knows how to throw a party, but the Sail250 NOLA social media team (with the amazing support from the local Marines and Coast Guard units) knew how to capture every second of it.

From the first ship arrival to the final farewell, thank you for the teamwork, the creativity, and the countless memories made along the way. The content was nonstop, the energy was unmatched, and the friendships made this week will last long after we leave the Crescent City.

Laissez les bons temps rouler—and thanks for making one the world will never forget. ⚓️💜💛
