The Most Epic Waterfall On Earth: Trafalgar Falls, Sailing to Dominica. Episode 40
After an epic day of watersports in Dominica, we woke up ready to explore this lush, wild island! 🌿 We rented the most outrageous van—“Crazy Love”—decked out in purple bling, and cruised through Dominica’s winding streets, singing at the top of our lungs. Our destination? The breathtaking Trafalgar Falls! 🌊🏞️
At the top of the mountain, we met up with The Murpheys from SV Colette before taking on the slippery, rocky hike up the falls. The reward? A stunning mix of icy cascades and steaming hot springs. The kids went full-on jungle mode, covering themselves in natural clay before diving into the rushing water to rinse off. Meanwhile, Steve and the boys built mini rock pools while the girls had an impromptu waterfall photoshoot. ✨
As the sun dipped lower, we hiked back down and made our way to our VRBO—a jungle hideaway deep in the heart of Dominica. But as we pulled into the driveway, a massive, muscle-bound man with a MACHETE approached us. Our nerves kicked in… until we met Jimmy—aka “Jacked Jimmy”—the friendly caretaker of the property.
Just when we thought the night was winding down, BOOM! 💥 A massive explosion rocked the house! Steve had opened the oven, unknowingly igniting a gas buildup. The blast blew open the shutters and even started a fire in the other room! I legit thought someone was hurt—cue instant tears. Thankfully, everyone was okay, but my adrenaline was through the roof!
After dinner, the drama continued with a GIANT jungle spider invading the kids’ room 🕷️—cue total chaos and an impromptu late-night spider hunt. 😆 Sleep? Not happening. Between the explosion, jungle sounds, and my racing mind, I barely got a wink.
But by morning, the Dominican sunrise washed everything clean, welcoming us into a brand new day of adventure. 🌞✨
💬 Would you hike a wild jungle waterfall? And how would YOU react to an exploding oven?! Let me know in the comments!

Sailing Banana Pancakes
This is the REAL & RAW reality of living on a sailboat off-grid! Episodes come out every Saturday! Steve & Kami had a dream to buy a sailboat and travel the world when we retired. We spent 15 years working multiple jobs, living BELOW our means, saving every penny we could and investing in real-estate. Well the year of Covid hit and we thought, what the hell let's freaking go, kids and all! The first thing Steve said when he walked onto our boat "It smells like freedom!" We completed our first year of sailing, sold our sailboat Banana Pancakes, in hopes of purchasing a newer one. We didn't find the right boat so we headed back to Idaho. It's been 2 years since then and we are once again ready to go, this time for at least 5 years. We are currently boat shopping and plan on setting sail soon for Seson 2 of Banana Pancakes. So smash that SUBSCRIBE button & let's go!

We left Cumberland Island for what should have been a quick sail to Brunswick. Instead, our watermaker started acting up, a huge storm rolled in, and the lightning got close enough to make everyone rethink being outside. Once we made it safely to the dock, we reunited with our friends from Waves of...
