Sailing Adventures
The wind was a little awkward for sailing today as it was on our noises. This means the wind was straight on the bow (front) of the boat, so we had to motor for the first hour until we got the wind at a better wangle and we could set sail. Once the sails … Read more
We enjoyed Grenada, but the next island was calling so it was time to move on and off we sailed further north to a island called Carriacou. It was a great sail and everyone really enjoyed the peace and quite with only the water lapping against the boat and the odd seabird flying past us … Read more
The day had come for our first sail, but it was not going to be a long one as I was not sure what the kids and Joan would be like and I looked a little bit naughty out there too. So first things first and that was to have a good hearty breakfast before … Read more
As Kim, Simon and Sienna gathered their clothes together ready for the flight back to the UK, they realised that they did not have any winter clothes onboard the boat. They looked at each other and said “its going to be freezing”. I could not help myself and said, I have a warm woollen hat … Read more

We sailed to Cape Eutheran Marina and stayed for the night. This was just a short stay as we had some washing to do and it was a little close to see the swimming pigs. It was a very nice island and the marina was lovely to but we all wanted to see the pigs … Read more
The weather was mixed as we sailed to our next destination and when we arrived we had to take a mooring boy instead of anchoring because the ground was to hard for the anchor to dig into. This is not a problem but it costs and I think we had spent enough lately. Never mind … Read more
We never left the boat for 2 days while the wind blew up to 40 knots, the rain came down so fast that it filled up an empty bucket in a few hours but we did not let it dampen our spirits. I was reading a book about the youngest girl to sail around the … Read more
As dark approached all we could see were the lights of Miami as we headed out to sea. We were going to be at sea for two days so we were hoping the weather was going to behave itself and we would get there in good time with no hick ups at all. The lights … Read more
