Leucistic Update
I know I've already done a blog about the Leucistic Guillemot returning and it's incredible how well it's doing but, while I was doing my trip the other day I got a very unexpected phone call from Jimmy and Chris telling some amazing news about the Leucistic Guillemot. Now I can't write down the exact words that Jimmy used as [...]
Bad Weather
I don't know really where to start with this blog, but I will start by saying that I prefer to be on the water instead of the land and after 3 days ashore due to the strong winds, rough seas and piles of rain I was glad to be back on the boat again. I knew it was going to [...]
Leucistic Guillemot is Back
I just love this seabird and every year I get excited to see it and this year is no different. We have only seen it a few times this year but its nice to see it again and this is the 6th year we have been spotting it. I do hope we see it for another 6 years and hopefully [...]
LAST BUT NOT LEAST
We have been waiting for a while now but finally the last of our seabirds have now arrived and they are starting to get settled too. Yes, you guessed it, it's the Arctic Tern, and its great to see them after their amazing flight all the way from the Antarctic. They are the ultimate long distance migrants who visit the [...]
The Season Begins Again
We have been sailing for a good few weeks now and the seabirds have been there one minute and gone the next, but the last few days a lot of the seabirds are back on the cliff faces and they look very settled now. So there we have it, the season kicks off once again and I can't wait to [...]
Sad Goodbye’s
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. If you are not sure [...]
Goodbye Bequia
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 at Union Island again as [...]
Bequia Island
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 great sail, with really good [...]
Union Island
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 were up, we were flying [...]
Christmas Day in Paradise
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 all the way to our [...]
