This week we explore Klein (little) Curacao, and what a gem we have rocked up to, a flat island with turquoise blue water, white sandy beaches with an old pink lighthouse in the middle. Kieran gets some amazing drone footage of the island (mind blown), and...
We finally arrive in Curacao, the Dutch Caribbean, it feels like we are back in Europe only more colourful and a tiny bit warmer. We put the hook down in a secure inland waterway after our four and a half day crossing from Curacao. The cost gard were on to...
We continue our 5 day crossing from Grenada to Curacao. On our 3rd day right at the time when you start to wind down and the sun sets, our furling system breaks (again!). I have to hoist Kieran up the mast while the waves threw the boat all over the place....
This week we leave Grenada and our beloved windward islands, that's been our home for the last 10 months (!!), and we set sail for the five day long journey to Curacao. Hard to believe that we've been in the Caribbean for almost a year, but with all that h...
Another week on the hard sees us really over all the dirt, mosquitos, sun and boiling days, without that beautiful water to jump in off the back of our amazing home. We tackle the priming, painting and sea cocks to get Merewether ready to splash back in th...
This week we pull Merewether out of the water for a much needed antifouling and general maintenance, with little to no experience we tackel the jobs ahead all by ourselves and safe to say we learn a lot throughout. With very long days, many mosquitos and t...

This week we get to our very own private island, totally secluded, we have it all to ourselves, the sun shining, white sandy beach, crystal clear blue water and our home is just parked 30 meters away - if this is not paradise what is? But getting there was...
Finally with boarders being easier to cross we move into a fresh new coastline and country that has been just out of reach for the past six months, Sitting in St Vincent peering at these unattainable island sanctuaries has been the source of our frustratio...
This week we discover the extremes of rainy season in the Caribbean facing squall after squall. We find a very wealthy deserted marina town that should be the set of a horror movie haha. Getting hit with a 30 knot squall on anchor we drift very close to a ...
Progressing our way south along the windward islands of the Caribbean, we catch some fair winds boosting us around to see the beautiful private island of Mustique before arriving at a nice anchorage. Isabelle suffers from her arch nemesis the dreaded sea s...

This week we get some really good news, we don't have the Covid virus and are therefore free to explore the Caribbean as we please (or almost). We sail from Blue Lagoon in St Vincent back to our beloved Grenadines. Kieran describes it as a bit of Groundhog...
