Exploring Exotic Locations in Our Leopard 45 Sailing Catamaran – Episode 104
In this latest installment of our captivating series, we take you on a rollercoaster ride as our journey on the Leopard 45 sailing catamaran concludes in St Martin. Join us as we navigate unexpected events, find help from good Samaritans and celebrate life onboard.A Good Samaritan to the RescueAfter a wonderful time in St Martin, we headed out for breakfast. Upon returning, we realized that our engine blowers were on and our anchor alarm was blaring! Thankfully, a kind stranger spotted our anchor dragging and re-anchored us, saving the day. Our gratitude to this person is immeasurable.The Inverter IssueWhile we were busy exploring St Martin, our inverter needed repairs. The situation seemed dire; if it couldn’t be fixed on the spot, the technician had to remove it from the boat. But alas, it was repaired, and our journey continued.An Unexpected EncounterLittle did we know that the young man who helped us with our inverter, Saul, had once been snorkeling with his dad at Pigeon Island when we also happened to be there. Coincidence? We think not! The world is indeed a small place.Floating RestaurantTo break free from routine, we dined at a unique floating restaurant in Grand Cost. Our gluten-free pizza was unfortunately out of stock but replaced with delectable tuna – still a memorable experience.Drunk Yoga on Spirit of St MartinThe Spirit of St Martin was hosting a party, and we decided to join in. We even indulged in a round of Drunk Yoga! Despite Adrian’s heightened spirits (and state), everyone had an unforgettable time.Broken Washing MachineWhen our washing machine broke, it was clear that we needed power to fix the issue. Through testing, it seemed like there was power in the cord; however, MacGyver stepped in and solved this conundrum with ingenuity.Nick and Kelly’s VisitOur friends Nick and Kelly from the channel ‘Sailing Sator’ joined us for an unforgettable week in St Martin. Their presence enhanced our journey, particularly as Nick is adept at solving issues – handy when your washing machine is acting up!The Inverter WorksFinally, after a thorough examination, the inverter problem was solved. The outlet powering our machine had issues; upon changing to an extension cord, it worked perfectly! Our trusty machine continues to serve us well.Leaving St MartinWith many memories made, our time in St Martin came to a close. We bid farewell to the stunning island and continued our journey north.The Parasor SagaWe met fellow cruisers SV Happy Together who had successfully retrieved their parasor after it drifted away. We vowed to never lose ours!Journey ContinuesHeading towards St John and eventually to Maine, we relished every moment spent on our Leopard 45 catamaran.Final ThoughtsAs we wind down this chapter in St Martin, the memories created and friendships made are cherished. Stay tuned as we embark on our next adventure!Thank you for joining us on this journey.In this episode of Sailing Wind Therapy, we sent our Victron Quatro Inverter out for repairs, dined at a floating restaurant in Grand Case, had a blast attempting drunk yoga on the schooner, Spirit of St. Martin, and we bid farewell to the Caribbean as we sailed our Leopard 45 catamaran out of the Simpson Bay Lagoon for the last time.
It was a sad day, but we needed to begin our trek north for the summer. Maine lobsters were calling!

Sailing Wind Therapy
We’re Jeff and Adrienne. We both grew up sailing, but took 20 years off while married to our exes. When we got together in 2007, we remembered how much we loved sailing. So, we took a week-long sailing class in 2013, bought a Leopard 48 sailing cat, and never looked back (except for when Hurricane Irma destroyed her but we immediately purchased a new Leopard 45). In Spring 2021, our plan is to leave our marina in St. Petersburg, FL, and begin making our way to the Bahamas, then to New England, and then south, arriving in Grenada sometime in June 2022. Maybe, in May 2023, we’ll make our way across the Atlantic Ocean and spend some time in the Mediterranean. And then go around the world. We’ll figure it out. And hopefully, you’ll join us along the way. Thanks for watching our videos. We hope you like them.
