Here’s where we will share photos and information about some of our adventures. They are in order with most recent first. Keep in mind, we mostly choose to focus on the highlights, amazing discoveries, and little and big things that make this lifestyle worth the effort. But this is not a tight ship, this is a pirate ship. Mutiny could happen at any moment.
Passage Musings
Pictures are worth a thousand words, but when there are no pictures, words will do.
$18 Purple Cabbage And Other Jamaican Novelties
After three days of wavy hell, we arrived in the world’s calmest anchorage. Two weeks in Jamaica included copious amounts of jerk chicken, a fabulous waterfall excursion, pink braids, and lots of produce shopping.
A Sailor’s Plans Are Written In The Sand…
We followed our hearts and changed course to return to the Med… so we moved further east to Curaçao and Bonaire where we hiked, explored, and scootered in these pretty southern islands.
Christmas In Aruba
Thanksgiving, Russ’ Birthday, Christmas and New Year. Aruba was full of festivities, decor, donkeys, Dutch cheese and best of all - Grammy and Grandaddy and Auntie KK came to visit!
Colorful Colombia
Over 8 weeks, we covered some sea, land and air miles in Colombia: Cartagena, Medellin, Santa Marta, Bogota and Barranquilla. And we even had time to enjoy a “routine” life in the marina with our sailing community.
Panama: The Seaquel
We left Panama after another 6 weeks with new memories shared among new and old friends, one less organ, a newly turned 12 year old, and plans to return to go through the Panama Canal later in the year.
Panama Part Uno!
The busiest month we’ve had since before we left the US, and we could only do it all with the help of our amazing friends, Luis Carlos and Gina.
Rounding Pirate Corner to Providencia
Perhaps the most exciting part of Providencia was that we made it there…
The Smell of Home, Hitchhikers, Old Friends and a 13th Birthday
New friends, old friends, a birthday and a goodbye, all with a side of margarita.
Shallow Water, Deep Connections
Hosting great friends in Turks and Caicos and navigating miles of reefs to get to tiny Bahama islands.
BVIs: The Caribbean At Its Best
A spring break guest, beautiful islands, perfect weather and a farewell-for-a-while to friends we’ve known since the Med.
Champagne & Skinny Bridges: St. Barths and St. Maarten
Loading up on luxury, superyacht spectating and the Simpson Bay drawbridge. None of it is for the faint of heart!
Daring In Dominica
Hot to cold, high to low, literally and figuratively. Our most daring discoveries yet.
A Visit From Brenda and Caribbean History
Getting a new perspective on the Caribbean and getting to experience with family is the best.
Lobsters On The Grill: St. Vincent & the Grenadines
Settling into the Caribbean vibe -- lobsters, easterly winds, blue water, white sand.
