October 07 - October 29, 2022; 9146 nm and 1318 days after departure from La Rochelle. It was such a nice feeling being back at anchor and not having continuously big projects in mind. There was finally time to do just nothing. So after splashing we just stayed aboard our pretty lady and enjoyed our …
Feature picture: coffee cherries getting ripe Minca was a peaceful little village in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains. The village was only a 45 min bus drive from Santa Marta. What an incredible change from city life to mountainous paradise. Minca and it's surroundings was such a nice green area, …
Medellín was definitely a cool place to be. A huge and busy city situated nicely in a picturesque valley 1500m high in the Andes. It provides a perfect temperature the whole year through. Sunny and hot in the day and comfortably cooler at night, so very different to Santa Marta's humid heat. And with its recent …

Blood were already running down their noses and it seemed as if they were prepared for fighting to death. Trying to survive in …

Basse Terre the capital of St. Kitts We only checked in there and bought some groceries. It was unbearable to stay there longer as the anchorage was a roller coaster. After finishing our errands ashore we headed to White House Bay a couple of miles south east. The welcome area for cruising ships- a different …
Our first day at Charlestown Nevis We had a fast sail up to Nevis from Deshaires/ Guadeloupe. Our plan was to arrive around dawn to be in time of the requested max 24 hours after being tested. Kind of unhandy for us we arrived already at 4am. It was still pitch dark and nobody seemed …
April 29 - May 21, 2022; 8011 nm and 1157 days after departure from La Rochelle. Well, as disappointing as it was not being able to catch up with my workout teacher Ann in Nevis as nice it was meeting Wilson. (The feature pic shows Wilson on the right and his Cousin) Ann set us …
Indian River We were lucky to be so close to the famous Indian River which is among the most picturesque and widest of Dominica's 365 rivers. Yes, it's correct 365 rivers!
