In this second part of our Atlantic crossing we leave Portugal and sail downwind to the Caribbean. The days are calm and peaceful (albeit rolling) and it looks like we will make it to Martinique in record time. That is, until we receive a mayday call and h...

In 2016, we took a year off from work to go on what will hopefully be the first of many adventures. We took our 36-foot sailboat Paradox all over the Caribbean, and had the time of our lives. Here is a look back at the some of the highlights. Now, we are...

Winter is coming, so they say. And we are definitely NOT into that. So it is now time to cross the Alps and get into the warm weather of the Mediterranean ASAP. We cover a lot of ground in this episode, almost 1,000 miles and find some very, very nice wea...
