Trinidad Yacht Life: Navigating Geopolitical Tension while Upgrading Our Sailboat
Despite the backdrop of geopolitical tension, boat life goes on with the continuing construction of our custom carbon fiber yacht tables. Now that they've been painted with gel coat, it's time for me to get sanding, shaping the gel coat. As always though, nothing on a sailing boat is simple and there are a few hurdles along the way. It's just another step in our catamaran's onging yacht repairs and upgrade journey.
We are currently in Trinidad, a unique vantage point to observe the ongoing geopolitical tension between the United States, Venezuela, and Trinidad. From up our mast we can actually see Venezuela, so it's much closer than many around the world may realise. In recent times there have been joint exercises between Trinidad and the US, with helicopters even flying over our sailing home.

Escaping the Boatyard – I Hiked Trinidad’s Jungle Barefoot
If you've ever stepped foot in a boatyard, the first thing you'll notice is how industrial they are. Dusty. Noisy. For months I've been working on our boat - grinding, sanding and getting covered in more epoxy, gel coat and antifoul than I care to think ab...
Seeing Wild Monkeys in the Trinidad Jungle
During our time in Trinidad our escape from the boat yard was the jungle, a place far removed from the noise, dust and industrial atmosphere. Spottin monkeys was always a source of entertainment, especially for our Aussie Shepherd Rose! #dog #boatdog #boa...

Teaching the Dog to Cheers!
There's no denying our Australian Shepherd dog Rose is pretty smart, with a big personality and plenty of attitude! As a result she often feels less like a boat dog, and more like having another human aboard. Thanks to our new crew member Lukasz, she's d...
The Trinidad You Should Get to Know!
In our opinion, Trinidad's natural beauty is massively under rated! When it comes to Caribbean jungle and waterfalls, and in fact jungle landscapes in general, it's world class. When our new crew member Lukasz arrived in Trinidad to join us living aboard ...
