FIBERGLASS DISASTER! We are working our butts off to get back in the water which means waking up at 4:30AM to lay fiberglass before the summer heat makes it unbearable and downright UNSAFE to continue working up on deck. But that comes with all sorts of pr...

We’re goin out with a BANG in this one. Jeff even goes overboard!
Join us on our last sail (for a while) as we make passage from Antigua to St Martin overnight. Beautiful scenery, whales, dolphins, turtles & sea birds …. And then disaster strikes ...
Ahhhhh Antigua!
We had such high hopes for this tiny volcanic island with 365 beaches (one for every day of the year!) but life doesn’t always work out so perfect. We make the best of it anyway and have an absolutely amazing time being immersed in Race ...
It started out so well too…
We planned the passage well, but it just didn’t work out for us! We make the journey from Guadeloupe to Antigua and man it was a struggle!!!
