Here we go again, see if this works!!............A VELCRO PARTING FROM PUERTO LA CRUZ AND MORE… A sad day as we leave PLC…after 8 weeks of boredom, frustration and general stir-craziness it was a day to look forward to…but then I realised what I was leaving…the espanol lessons, the gym, the good friends, the pool, the bars, the restaurants, the golf course…the markets, the people……it was a velcro parting…the boat was welded to the dock……we left with a wrench……..I feel I’ll be back! But here we are n [View Full Entry]

Diving! We guide and point out stuff underwater and sometimes we can take our camera with us too. We are very happy with the diving here, but need to get some warmer wet suits as we tend to get cold in the end of our dives... and it is 29 celcius! We meet for dinners often. Not too long ago we had a curry night! As Dai's leaving doo we had about 12 people over for curry. We were planning to have it outside, but the rain moved us all inside. I think we all would agree it was a fine [View Full Entry]

Last week we had our first lobster dinner her on the rock and it was FANTASTIC! First and foremost we have to thank Lobster fisherman Michel for bringing the lobsters! Second we have to talk about how to and what you need and how to go about this lobster dinner making thing. 1. Get a hold of some fresh lobsters! For us this was easy since Michel asked us if we liked to make some lobsters at our place. The fishermen here on Saba go fishing on the Saba banks that is about 2hrs out from the island (we didn't pick [View Full Entry]

I've been on Saba now for a while, and there are a lot of things I still have to do and see before I leave. I've already hiked some of the smaller trails, including Spring Bay, Sulfur Mines, Crispeen, and the Ladder. But one trail that has been on my list for a while was Mt. Scenery. You can't come to Saba without hiking it; it's like eating cereal without milk or celebrating the 4th of July without fireworks or washing clothes without detergent - well, you get the idea. It's the mother of all the Saban trails, standing at an [View Full Entry]

Time flies and we are not getting around to writing blogs as often, so let’s try to catch up! Living at Saba Living here in the Caribbean we have all doors and windows open and the other day a goat wandered into our living room.After taking a picture we tried to “shhuuee” it out it did what goat’s does, jumping and kicking its back legs! Luckily it did not hit either laptops or tv! Refurbishing one of the boats in St. Maarten We spent four days in Simpson bay in St. Maarten refurbishing one of the dive boats. It was hard [View Full Entry]

Blog Entry: 17th of August Hurricane Dean has now passed south of us and all we got was a bit of rain and wind as well as a few hours without electricity. Looking at the path and strength of Dean we pray for the people and hope damage will be a minimum. Blog Entry: 16th of August Dean should get up to Hurricane level 2 but the forecast is such that Dean should pass south of us, so we should "only" get the winds and the rain. Saying that all the boats are now either moved to safe harbor or lifted [View Full Entry]

It has already been over a week since we came down to this 13 square km island - and things are going well! The first week has been filled with getting to know the locals and the island, carnival, moving house... Work-wise we have been diving and trying to learn everything about the dive boat as we are going to be skippers one day - but we talk more about work stuff in another blog. To start from the beginning - the trip from Ancaster to Saba We got up at 0130 in the morning to ensure we have time for [View Full Entry]

As a matter of principle, we must feature Curacao. The trip started there, we will pass thru it at least three times before we say 'goodbye' and, not least of all, we lived there for a year or so. Plus, our friends and fans and history would not forgive us. The island is bright and cheerful in most parts. It is the kind of place where people are not afraid to paint their homes and businesses in the brightest combinations of colours. Curacao is a small Dutch Caribbean island located 40 miles from the west coast of Venezuela. It is a [View Full Entry]
