Holiday in the SUN - Caribbean Style! What the HOLIDAYS are like for a FAMILY SAILING the WORLD (43)

Holiday Celebrations in the Caribbean: A Family’s Sailing World Adventure

In this enthralling episode of Sailing Machete, join an adventurous family on their spectacular holiday journey while sailing the world across the beautiful Caribbean islands. Their longest stay so far has been in Grenada, where they immersed themselves into local festivities and traditions.

Grenadian Halloween Extravaganza

When in Grenada, celebrate Halloween like the locals do! With a variety of fun-filled activities such as Halloween parties, pumpkin carving, and dinghy trick-or-treating, this island takes holiday celebrations to the next level. Joining fellow cruisers makes for an unforgettable experience with delicious treats shared amongst the marina community.

New Victron Quattro Arrival

Their journey takes another exciting turn when their eagerly awaited new Victron Quattro, a vital power management system for their vessel, arrives after several delays. Upon unboxing and reassembling the device with expert precision, the family rejoices at having a functional replacement to ensure continued seamless sailing.

Scenic Sail Northward

With a new season ahead, the family leaves Grenada in search of new adventures. Along their journey north through Caribbean islands, they enjoy several enriching stops and experiences including Martinique, Dominica, Guadeloupe, Antigua, and Barbuda. Each island provides its unique charm, breathtaking sights, culture immersion, and memorable encounters.

The Endless Experiences

Scuba Diving in Dominica

In Dominica, the adventurous family indulges in snorkeling at the magnificent Champagne Reef, known for its underwater volcanic thermal spring bubbles. Witnessing spectacular marine life and crystal-clear waters invigorates their love for exploration and adventure.

Thanksgiving Celebration

Savor the traditional spirit of Thanksgiving while enjoying the simple yet cozy moments in Guadeloupe with a well-decorated Christmas tree lit up on Thanksgiving night, creating the perfect ambiance for cherished memories.

Discovering Antigua and Barbuda

Experience their first-time exploration of pristine Antigua and mesmerizing Barbuda, filled with picturesque Yachts belonging to the rich and famous, gorgeous sandy beaches, fascinating cultural attractions, and mouthwatering local cuisines. Their search for a fitting Christmas tree leads them on an exciting adventure that brings immense joy for the family.

Witness this incredible journey through vibrant Caribbean islands as this adventurous family embarks upon various enchanting experiences. Follow along and be part of their life-changing moments during these unforgettably joyous celebrations, all while exploring new destinations in the world with endless discoveries just beyond the horizon.

This week we experience Halloween in Grenada. We carve a pumpkin and go dinghy trick or treating. We get our new Victron Quattro Inverter and sail north leaving Grenada behind. We make a stop in Martinique for a new anchor chain. We get to experience Dominica for the first time. We have Thanksgiving in Guadeloupe and buy a Christmas tree in Antigua. We catch a blue marlin somewhere in between!
