While we wait for our traveler to get delivered, we decide to tackle an issue that's been a bother for a while. But that means going high. Very very high.

10 Years ago, if you told either of us that we'd be celebrating our anniversary while traveling the world on our own boat, I would have laughed and laughed and called you nuts. Our love story is one that spans 27 years and this story is about two people, s...
After more than a MONTH in Turks and Caicos and loving it more than we ever thought we would, we catch on to a less than perfect weather window to head to another country we thought we'd be skipping originally, Dominican Republic. Weather forecasts call fo...
As hurricane season is knocking, we try to finish up our last jump to Curacao where Turtle would be hanging out for the season while we traveled by air to various countries. Well, like all best laid plans, our 72 hour "easy" sail to Curacao turns into a 74...

FINALLY! We are BACK on Turtle! After being away for 6 LONG months we finally find ourselves home on our sailboat in the Dominican Republic. Finding her safe after having had no hurricanes touch her through out the season, we set to getting her back on her...
The last time we tried this, it was a a disaster ending with the navy/armada of the Dominican Republic dragging us back into DR! This time is different. While a full bash was expected as we take part in the last part of the thorny path, we are in a for a B...
