Carnival in Martinique

This is a pretty focused video on our time in Fort de France for Carnival. What a wild experience! Carnival was quite different than we expected. It was somehow much more a cultural part of Martinique than we expected. 30,000 people in the streets all afternoon and evening for several days runni...

Dominica!

Dominica! Not the Dominican Republic. A beautiful island where we explore the rainforests and reefs. Dominica has much less tourism than other islands in the Caribbean and the island is still recovering from Hurricane Maria in 2018. It is remarkable how fast the forest can regenerate, though the...

Les Saintes

Our next stop in the Eastern Caribbean is the group of small islands just south of Guadeloupe - Les Saintes. This is a very laid back place. The main island, Terre-de-Haut, swells during the day as many people visit by ferry and small cruise ships stop in several days a week. But around three in ...

Enjoying Antigua

After sailing from Virginia we spend quite a bit of time in Antigua. We love this island. Great people. Great hiking. It is a beautiful place. As the end point for the Salty Dawg rally there were lots of social activities organized here for weeks after our arrival which just added to the fun.

Westbound on the Nova Scotia coast

The final episode for our summer 2022 season. We caught Covid on Cape Breton Island, so this video is a bit short as we didn't get to as many places on the way back west as we expected. Fortunately we recovered fairly quickly and had a good spot to wait out our quarantine period. After, we v...

Jumentos Population Zero

We sail through the Jumento Islands, a little travelled part of the Bahamas. Though about 60 miles long there are no inhabited islands in the Jumentos making it a quite remarkable place to visit. We found the spearfishing very good, though there were a lot of sharks.
