Ragged Islands, 2021
The Jumentos and Ragged Islands are an isolated island chain in the Bahamas arcing for about 70 miles generally southwards and situated south of the southeast end of the Exuma chain. The current resident population of the whole island chain is 56 people, all living in Duncantown on Ragged Island. There are no hotels here. Only one store, which has much less than is in our kitchen. But the few people here are friendly, hard working and a joy to meet. We sail to this remote area and spend some time here with one week stretching into two or three.

The Meri Crew
The Meri Crew: Travel adventure on the high seas, islands, bays, rivers, etc. with Doug, Mj and our family and friends aboard Sailing Vessel Frolic, our new sailing catamaran. We have moved on from our beloved 41' sailboat, Meri, but are still cruising to new places and experiencing new things. For 2024 we will finish up the Eastern Caribbean. Then maybe head north to Nova Scotia or Newfoundland again in the summer, or if things go well we may sail all the way around Newfoundland. All plans right now are still very loose because, well that is just how we like to travel and live. There are so many places near and far we have not been yet. Sailing, snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing, kayaking, yoga, gunk holing, cooking, kiteboarding, windsurfing and wing foiling are staples while we are aboard Frolic. Other times we love water skiing, snowboarding and snow skiing, flying, knitting and other stuff.

The end of our Alaskan summer
Our final days in Alaska with a little side trip through the Yukon with some small town culture and fishing. We leave Alaska on the ferry down the inside passage.
Denali!
We spent more time in Denali National Park than anywhere else in Alaska. We did hardly anything the average Denali tourist does and the average Denali tourist does hardly anything we did.
Alaska Rivers, Lakes, Sea and Mountains
We are having such a blast this summer in Alaska. We got up close with brown bears. We spent time in interior lakes. We went out fishing in Prince William Sound. And we headed for the high country to see "The Great One".
Alaska Culture, Wildlife and Mountains
We are well in to our summer in Alaska. We hit a 4th of July festival, see a lot of wildlife, and get high into the mountains. We hope you enjoy watching.

Valdez, Thompson Pass, and McCarthy
Great adventures! We pick up in Valdez with some hiking and checking out the town. Then we drive up Thompson Pass and spend a few nights in that area. Finally we take "the worst road in America" to McCarthy and check out Kennicott.
Wrangell St. Elias National Park and fishing for salmon in the Klutina river
We start out our summer of adventure spending time in Wrangell St. Elias National Park and Preserve. We get the kayaks out and do a little fishing, then move down the road to Copper Center to fish for some reds, sockeye salmon running up the Klutina river...
The Meri Crew heads to Alaska!
We are taking a break from the ocean. We felt like we had deferred a bunch of land based things we wanted to do and now is the time for one of those. We are spending the summer cruising around Alaska on our little land-yacht.
Last of the Bahamas 2025
We had some great spearfishing and then some heavy wind sailing to finish up our season in the Bahamas.
Bahamas Family Time 2025
We continue to enjoy our season in the Bahamas. Drew, Jenny, Ashley and Chad all came for a visit and we had a blast!
Bahamas Early 2025
We are back in the Bahamas again! We don't have much of an agenda. We are just enjoying ourselves doing the things we love to do.
Chillin in Maine, 2024
We made our third trip to the Maine coast this summer and visited some new spots as well as old favorites. I have to admit we are a bit burned out on producing videos so this is it for the whole summer. We hope you enjoy it.
Bahamas ’24
We spend just a few weeks traveling through the Bahamas on our way back from the Caribbean but have a great time. Mostly we spent our time in the water!
The Spanish Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico
We make the short sail from St. Thomas to Culebra, leaving the USVI and entering the Spanish Virgin Islands. We really enjoyed visiting both Culebra and Vieques, they both have a very laid back feel. From Vieques it was another short sail to Puerto Rico...
Cruising the USVI
This is a shorter video. We weren't planning to make a video about the USVI but we were asked, and felt we maybe had enough material. Hope you enjoy it. We spent about three weeks and found we LOVED St. John's. We would like to spend some more time in...
Cruising the British Virgin Islands
We weren't sure we would stop in the BVI, but the Salty Dawg's had a rendezvous so we decided to join in and it was a great time with some old friends. We spent another week cruising about on our own, with a fair amount of diving and as always lots of ex...
St Barths
We make a quick stop at St Barths and check out the beaches and more. While St. Barth's is often referred to as the Beverly Hills of the Caribbean, and it does have the upscale shopping and dining to match, there is a lot more to this small island.
Nevis and St Kitts
We visit two more of "The Islands that touch The Clouds", Nevis and St. Kitts. An enjoyable week and a half of touring about, above and below the water!
Montserrat – under the volcano!
We had a quick visit to the island of Montserrat. This island's character was greatly changed by the eruptions of the Soufrière Hills volcano between1996 and 2010.
Our favorite Caribbean Island? Dominica 2024
We are back in Dominica, The Nature Island, for several weeks. We really love this island - the people, the island itself and the surrounding sea! Here is a short video to share a bit of it with you.
The Grenadines 2023

Through-hiking the Colorado Trail
Drew had a five week adventure through-hiking the Colorado Trail. The scenery is breathtaking and we figured we'd share the video on our channel.
Tobago Cays Shark Rescue
We visit the Tobago Cays, a beautiful set of small islands and coral reefs. The sea life is pretty amazing. Beautiful. While we are there we have a small adventure releasing a trapped shark from an illegal fish trap.
