Sailing Adventures
After a fantastic 6 hour sail down to Grenada, we anchored just before dark and as we watched the sun settle over the horizon we realised how lucky we were to see so many beautiful islands in a lovely part of the world and to do it on our own on such a unique yacht. … Read more
It was hard to say our goodbye’s to Bequia, but if there is one thing for sure we will definitely be going back again and I have to say I really enjoyed this island so much and I would recommend everyone to visit here at least once. As we sailed south we had to stop … Read more
It sounds a little bit ungrateful but we were please to get away from Union Island as its great for a few days but any longer than that we started to run out of things to do and things to see so we decided to say goodbye and head north to Bequia. It was a … Read more
