I promised Wendy I would take her to the island of Sal. And to Santa Maria. The place to be in Cabo Verde. It’s their South Beach or St Tropez. And it’s not far from where we anchored. She was surprised by how many whit...

Would you believe it, I've left Mindelo! Wendy and I sail to Sal Island, about 120nm from Sao Vicente Island. We picked the perfect day and anchored 24hrs later. Wendy finally comes out and we look around, eat and me...

My time in Mindelo was coming to a close. It was soon time to go. I had been waiting for a few issues to get resolved. Like new glasses for Wendy which had finally arrived. It was a shock for her. We were supposed to...
We spend so much time at sea level with our eyes in one direction. Some time you need to change it up and get a different view of things to see what is really going on around you.
When you finally get a chance to get a look at the big picture it’s amaz...

It seems here that as soon as one celebration ends, another begins. We just got over the holidays and here comes Mardi Gras. Wendy came with not one sister but two. And this guy? That’s Vlaus. A friend I’ve known fr...
We have had the opportunity to visit quite a few remote islands here in the Caribbean but Union Island in the Grenadines has left us wanting to come back for so much more. The people in Chatham Bay were extremely welcoming and genuine that we could have st...

I'm solo sailing the waters of the Cape Verde Archipilago form the island of Sal to the island of Sao Vicente. About 120nm and I'm about 40nm into the passage when I'm hearing a nasty noise. It's my autopilot and it'...
The hard work has definitely payed off. We got all of our boat projects completed in record time and its now time to get back to doing the things that we love. Exploring the Caribbean!
Being back at Sandy Island and knowing that we just rocked our repairs...
*Here we go! Full on DIY boat jobs in the Caribbean!* Were back in Tyrell Bay, Carriacou and in just 5 days, major projects are unfolding, from hull repairs to cutlass bearings. We are told it can’t be done, but we have other ideas in mind.
Hard work i...

Anarchy, derived from a Greek word meaning "having no ruler," is a belief system that rejects governmental authority in favor of self-governing or community consensus. A good description of our situation out here on t...
Did we bite off more than we can chew this time? Are we seriously testing our abilities? You know we like to do all of our own work, but is this going to far?
We only have a finite amount of time to get our boat shipshape and back in the water. So let's ge...

Fishermen go out early afternoon to lay out their nets. Lots of them. They’re racing out to secure a good spot to put out their long lets. Like, kilometer long nets. Laid out perpendicular. We were sailing side by ...

#sailing #dakar #sailinglifestyle
We were just going out to buy some new batteries in Dakar. The city was unusually quiet because of fear of rioting in the streets. As I was purchasing the batteries we heard crowd noises and our eyes were stinging. Police ...
Living on a boat we have a lot of dangers that we need to take into account on a daily basis. There is always something to fix, adjust or protect. Strange sounds pop up or something doesn’t feel just right and the investigations begin.
But the one thing...

When sailing from Cabo Verde to Dakar Senegal we had to pass through a sandstorm. Sail into a headwind. Batteries ran dead during the night. What was supposed to be a 4 day passage turned into 6 days. Then when we ha...
The thing about owning a boat is there is always a laundry list of projects to get done. Some are more urgent than others and some you save up for a rainy day…literally.
This week are digging deep and pounding out all the big jobs we have been putting of...

Sailing in a sandstorm sounds near apocalyptic. It was a strange feeling to be on the ocean with little visibility and the sun blotted out by the sky. Thick Sahara Desert sand coating everything on my boat and even my ...
Welcome to Grenada! We are diving right into the thick of things. Getting to know our surrounding and the local cultures. We were told the Carnival here was not to be missed and truer words have not been spoken. This is a massive celebration that tops anyt...
We had such a fantastic time in Carriacou it was hard to say goodbye. But as you know this is not our final destination. We are Grenada bound. There is so much we have to do over the next couple of months but first we need to brush up on our docking skills...

I’m sticking with my boat Galaopin. And finally we get to hoist his sail. He’s looking mighty proud. Just got to set up the reefs and we’ll be set. Then there’s the dinghy. Not an easy fix that gosh dinghy. ...
