And the #1 BEST Island in the Caribbean is… [🎥17🇦🇬]
Antigua! Yep. It's a bold call but we can claim it. We've been to pretty much every part of the Caribbean, and Antigua and Barbuda take the claim for us. Today we visit Antigua (Barbuda's next week!), and while they could not be more different, that's what...

The Thorny Path to Windward: BVIs to Antigua [🎥15🇻🇬-🇦🇬]
Sailing East in the Caribbean has always been called the "Thorny Path" because it's not all that easy to do. Ideally you wait for an unusual break in the highly consistent trade winds, or pray for the angle to shift just enough to the north that you can ee...

While learning to sail the "new" catamaran we make a big (rookie) mistake at 13 knots boat speed. It's less dramatic than it sounds unless you consider the loads and expenses involved if we were not able to solve the problem. All while our octogenarian p...
