This is it! The moment we’ve been working towards!
After rushing to make it our of Montreal in time, many months of sailing down the US east coast, in cold, rain, and high winds, we are SO ready for the Bahamas!
And we got quite the welcome! From incredible views, to very friendly locals, to dolphins surfing at our bow, we are amazed from the start!
Join us as we check out our first island, Bimini, and its surroundings, and try to get used to the unbelievably clear turquoise water around us all the time (kidding, we can never get used to it, it’s always as amazing!)

Postcards From Bagheera
We're Tom, Amandine, and Bonbon. In October 2019, our lives were changed forever when we won a writing contest and were given a Morgan 32, Bagheera. Her previous owners, Paul and Maren, wanted her to be loved and to be sailed. So they decided not to sell the boat but to pick her next owners. They asked for just one thing in return, to keep them posted, once in a while, of our adventures. So... this channel is for them! Videos are the way we've chosen to share this adventure, but to us, it's like sending a postcard once in a while. Since last year, we've made Bagheera our home and are now sailing south with the goal of getting to Guadeloupe... for now! We’re avid windsurfers and surfers, recently wingfoilers, and hope to catch a bunch of waves along the way ! Hope you follow along on our epic adventure !
