BVI Bound
5th January 2026 | Odometer: 813nm | British Virgin Islands The BVIs were a decently long distance away from St Martin and once again, it was our longest passage yet. Our estimated crossing time was thirteen hours so we knew we wanted to go in really good weather. We were very fortunate the famous Christmas…

Saint Martin
1st January 2026 | Odometer: 703nm | Sint Maarten / Saint Martin To get to Saint Martin in daylight, we needed to get up quite early to leave the St Kitts anchorage. We woke up at 4am and kicked off in the darkness before dawn. In a completely moonless sky, the black surroundings were very…

16th December 2025 | Odometer: 518nm | Guadeloupe & Antigua We had made it to the northern end of Guadeloupe, despite some rather hairy moments with reefs.

The Relaxing Day that Wasn’t
14th December 2025 | Odometer: 475nm | Guadeloupe We really enjoyed some peaceful nights in Deshaies and were planning to head around to the North Eastern tip of the Guadeloupe “butterfly”.

Up the Creek With a Paddle
6th December 2025 | Odometer: 387nm | Dominica We motored northwards along the western side of Dominica in extremely calm seas to the small town of Mero, where we spent a pleasant couple of nights just chilling on the boat, swimming, SUPing and walking along the beach. We also took care of a few little…
