Jupiter2 is done with Antigua. Check out and a day sail to St Martin. However, things rarely go as planned. It seems we are not welcome here. Jamie is frustrated by the continual bureaucratic BS that seems to be unavoidable...even out in the big blue!

It is so unfair for Filipina passport holders. Dutch Sint Maarten are refusing to allow my Princess in, going against their own stated entry requirements. Of course she is deeply saddened. Is there another way?

Check out this awesome drug plane, used by the Medellin drug cartel in the '80s. It was my first time in the cockpit in a long while.... but I was quickly ushered out. We attempt to cook the aussie favorite... Lamb roast (without an oven)... and some ropew...

Wow, what a huge moment in my life. Since a small child i've been in awe about rockets and space flight. Now finally the time has come to see my first rocket launch... and from the deck of my beloved boat and home, "Jupiter2"..... but first, we need to com...

After planning and reserving our haulout at the lovely Deltaville boatyard, we find out the day before that we are in fact toooo big for the travelift slip.... It's not easy to find a haulout facility big enough for catamarans on the east coast.... where a...
Well, we finally found a yard that could haul Jupiter. We measured carefully this time.... but boy, what a tight squeeze....no room for fenders... although no major catastrophes, there is always some damage, and this damage could have been easily prevented...
Finally an opportunity arose to compare the Sailrite Ultrafeed with my cheaper, but apparently very similar Reliable Barracuda... I couldn't let this opportunity pass, since i had recently be searching Youtube for this exact information.
No bias, honest co...
After the eventual success of our haulout... now the HARD work begins. We have a long list of jobs which we need to attend to. We start on pulling the prop shafts, replacing cutlass bearings. Then draining and opening the fuel tanks for a clean up of an ol...
