Friday August 21 2009 We departed Petit de Grat @ 7am this morning heading for shelter from Hurricane Bill. Hurricane Bill is at the moment a category 4, which is fast approaching Nova Scotia. The local forecast is for Bill to be a Cat 1 as it travels though our area on Sunday producing winds of 65 knots with gust in the higher 70 knot range!, that would translate to 125 to 150 plus km winds.. Needless to say it didn’t take long to make the discussion to head for better shelter inland, Luckily we have the Bra d’or Lakes which is a salt water lake within Cape Breton, which is entered via the locks in St Peters. Bra d’or lakes offer many shelters to choose from, but with a hurricane all is in the luck ... read more

After a long and arduous period of hiatus, We are REALLY glad to say…..We’re back!!!!! We apologize to everyone for remaining so quiet during the while, as many of you know, we spent all that time lining up our ducks to come back bigger and stronger than we’ve ever been before. Annie and I are doing really well, and we are so proud of what we have accomplished in our quest of setting sail once again .. After two long summers of completing s/v WeBeSailing’s refit and working the very cold winters in Edmonton & Fort McMurray Alberta… we are now ready to set sail on our voyage of a life time… right now the schedule is that we are to be launched in the water between August 6th and the 12th . First thing in ... read more

Sunday, June 24th 2007 We Departed Grande Goave at 7am, to make the bumpy journey to the Port au Prince Airport, and arrivied around 9:am. We checked-in and cleared Haitian customs in a breeze. Our flight wasn’t scheduled to depart until 12:35, but we didn’t want to take any chances in arriving late. Go figure, everything went smoothly and we wound up sitting in the terminal waiting are with a solid 2 hour wait before boarding time... NOT! Wouldn’t you know it?!?!?! The flight coming in from Miami was delayed by 3 hours!!! So we waited some more... No problem, we thought... our connection to Montreal wasn’t until 9:PM that evening. Although we would much prefer waiting it out in Miami, surrounded by Burger Kings, shops and air conditioning...the real purpose of this trip was ... read more

Good morning too everyone, from Haiti With now over five months under our belt here in Haiti.., we are doing great and all is well with us. Our living experiences keep growing and we are learning so much during our time here. We have had so many touching moments here, from being invited to soccer matches and watching the game sitting on the ground surrounded by so many young children that it would be hard to count them all. So many of them asking how to spell our names and asking us to describe what it is like where we come from, to even just wanting to touch you, or hold your hand or touching our hair (they are amazed that our hair is straight and silky, unlike theirs). We are from another planet to ... read more

Pestel, Haiti Waypoint 18º 32’.581 N 073º 47’.455 W “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do then by the ones you did. So throw off our dock lines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover” a quote from Mark Twain. Only now do we realize what we do on a daily bases, to be Living a True Adventure!!. From pulling into places you have never been before, and having your breath taken away by the beauty!! To being the only one you know that has ever been there!! To seeing, through our eyes, what we have seen over the past years!! On Sunday morning, after a restful night anchored in Grande Cayemite, we lifted anchor to visit ... read more
