Martinique
Martinique is one of the French West Indies. It is an island in the Eastern Caribbean that is to this day part of France. We enjoy spending time in the big city of Fort de France as well as smaller communities and rural areas.
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 ...
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 ho...
Guadeloupe – The Butterfly Island
@TheMeriCrew sail SV Frolic to the beautiful island of Guadeloupe! What a wonderful place to spend time. The island's high volcanic peaks, lush forests filled with flowers and exotic plants, and beautiful surrounding waters made every day here a joy. We...
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 i...
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 afte...
Virginia to Antigua!
We join up with the Salty Dawgs sailing from Hampton Virginia to the Caribbean island of Antigua. 1750 nautical miles and 11 days at sea. It was a tough weather year with very active tropical weather offering plenty of challenges.
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 ...
Cape Breton Island
Heading back southwest from Newfoundland we spend a bit of time sailing the Bras d'Or lakes in Cape Breton Island. We take in a whole lot of music in a short time plus some other interesting activities!
Newfoundland’s Fjord Coast
We continue cruising Newfoundland's Fjord Coast with stunning landscapes, lots of wilderness and solitude, and small towns with wonderful people. We encounter some pilot whales and ocean sunfish offshore, gather the last of the season's cloudberries on so...
NEWFOUNDLAND
Wow! We are so excited to be here! This is a challenging cruising ground but it is awesome. What towns there are here are tiny and there is so much wilderness. Waterfalls everywhere. Wildlife. Everything is beautiful, except when the fog rolls in thi...
Into Canada, 2022
Sorry for the delay. We have been without adequate internet to upload a video for a few weeks but happy to share our travel into Canada this season. We got a sail repaired, did a bunch of maintenance and spent the fourth of July weekend in Newport Rhod...
Northbound for the Summer 2022
Our summer season is starting! We take care of some repairs and maintenance when we get back to the boat in North Carolina. Then we start heading north, taking the ICW to Virginia and then an ocean passage to Rhode Island.
Spring passage North
Our winter season in the Bahamas comes to a close. Just a bit more fishing and diving and then we set sail on the 600 mile passage north to Beaufort North Carolina. We have a mixture of strong winds with big seas, and later no wind at all before the wind...
