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 running. At least 3/4 of the spectators were costumed. Very little drinking or drug use apparent, but surging drum rhythms driving the party through the streets. The parades move very slowly and go on for hours and hours. There are multiple, simultaneous parade routes and after several hours most of the spectators have joined in, walking either ahead or behind a drum group or DJ truck they like.
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.

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.
