We would say that thunder is something of the worst to encounter at sea, especially at night. On our way to Colombia we sail in the worst thunder we've encountered so far. To see the lightning hit the water so close to RAN sent shivers down the spine!

One thing we love about travelling is that you meet so many people and in the most random ways. The German couple we hitchhiked with in the previous episode invited us for a road trip around Bonaire. We go Geocaching, spot Flamingos and surfers. Then it’...
Bonaire has over 400 caves and many of them are underwater. We went to find some of them but that was easier said than done! Our PADI open water course continues and we have the final exams the same day as a tropical storm is about to hit the island.

As our paths crossed with Sailing UMA we decided to check out the island Culebra, Spanish Virgin Islands, together both by road and by the sea! We rented a golf cart that we had to push to go up the hills and went to some of Culebras pretty beaches. Then w...
Even though we don't have U.S Visas we would still be able to sail to the Spanish Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, which both are U.S territories, if we followed a special procedure. This is how we did it! When we were done we set sail towards Culebra, Span...
