Almerimar has been our 'Hotel California' for the last two years - every time we check in, we never leave. Both times we've had to return to the Mediterranean after missing the hurricane window to cross the Atlan...
Another week on the hard sees us really over all the dirt, mosquitos, sun and boiling days, without that beautiful water to jump in off the back of our amazing home. We tackle the priming, painting and sea cocks to get Merewether ready to splash back in th...
This week we pull Merewether out of the water for a much needed antifouling and general maintenance, with little to no experience we tackel the jobs ahead all by ourselves and safe to say we learn a lot throughout. With very long days, many mosquitos and t...

This week we get to our very own private island, totally secluded, we have it all to ourselves, the sun shining, white sandy beach, crystal clear blue water and our home is just parked 30 meters away - if this is not paradise what is? But getting there was...
Finally with boarders being easier to cross we move into a fresh new coastline and country that has been just out of reach for the past six months, Sitting in St Vincent peering at these unattainable island sanctuaries has been the source of our frustratio...
This week we discover the extremes of rainy season in the Caribbean facing squall after squall. We find a very wealthy deserted marina town that should be the set of a horror movie haha. Getting hit with a 30 knot squall on anchor we drift very close to a ...
Progressing our way south along the windward islands of the Caribbean, we catch some fair winds boosting us around to see the beautiful private island of Mustique before arriving at a nice anchorage. Isabelle suffers from her arch nemesis the dreaded sea s...
For some mid-week extra content we film a boat tour on a beautiful Privilege 435, David the owner shows you around his vessel that he restored from a very worn down ex charter vessel to the magnificent boat it is today. Some unique features it processes is...
This week we get some really good news, we don't have the Covid virus and are therefore free to explore the Caribbean as we please (or almost). We sail from Blue Lagoon in St Vincent back to our beloved Grenadines. Kieran describes it as a bit of Groundhog...
This week we took the painful and slightly humiliating covid test, before we could set sail and head off to St Vincent and The Grenadines (again). We had spend a bit to long in La Marin and ware anxious to go sailing again. Isabelle however got really seas...
This week in Martinique we get all the jobs done on Merewether, from fixing the rigging to cushion and SUP board shopping. Kieran spends more time up the mast then on land and I stock up on organic vegan goodies for the future crossing. Safe to say we need...
