Paradise or Caribbean Hospital - Eps 77
Heya Salty Mates
Just when our Caribbean sailing adventure was meant to kick off… everything flipped on its head.
I flew to the Caribbean 3 days after my heart kicked into atrial fibrillation (AF), but a few weeks after arriving my symptoms ramped up, dizziness, light‑headedness, shortness of breath… the kind of stuff you can’t just shrug off when you’re thousands of miles from home. 😬
We’d heard from the Border Patrol Manager (yep, of all people) that his dad had a cardioversion done at the Sint Maarten Dutch Hospital, so we figured we’d check it out. But after being looked over by the incredible team there, we were suddenly staring down a tough call… keep going with treatment in the Caribbean or make the massive trek back to Australia for the follow‑up care I needed. 🇦🇺✈️
And from there on in, things moved very fast.
One minutes, I'm getting looked after at Sint Maarten Medical Centre and before we knew it, we’d shifted back to Simpson Bay, cleared immigration so I could legally leave, and I was boarding a flight bound for the other side of the planet.
Sailing the world isn’t always turquoise water and sunset cocktails, sometimes real life taps you on the shoulder in ways you never see coming. But moments like this remind us how bloody lucky we are to live this wild salty dream… and how important it is to look after your health along the way. ❤️
So, what would you have done? Probably NOT left home in the first place I reckon. 😅

Salty Days Adventures
Welcome to Salty Days Adventures, a sailing channel for people who feel that itch to go, even when it’s a bit scary. We’re an Aussie couple who realised, just in time, that life is for the living. So, we sold our home and got rid of almost everything… except an amazing, new-to-us Leopard 40 catamaran, yes, she’s called Salty Days. We’re back with salt on our skin, roaming the Caribbean, chasing sunsets, rainbows, and the freedom that only the sea offers. This channel is about sailing, casting off, crossing oceans, learning fast, laughing often, and discovering what life looks like when you stop waiting for tomorrow. It’s adventure with salt in its hair and grit under its nails. Sometimes spectacular. Sometimes stressful. Always real. No scripts. No filters. Just a floating, front-row seat to a life lived properly, the good, the bad and the ugly Thanks for joining us in these Salty Days Adventures. Cozzy & Mitcho
