Geo: 13.904, -60.9742May 12th, 2016 – Nevis to St. LuciaHello from St. Lucia!We are in the land of MANGOES and boy! is it mango season! We've loving it! Yes, we've moved a fair ways south since the last time I wrote. Here's an overview of the past six weeks.(Please forgive my point form...but there's a lot to tell you and wifi is trying my patience. I'm also working from my ship's notes, so I realize I'm going in and out of the past and present. Not my best work.)March 30th:Attempt number one to leave Nevis for Montserrat. Winds were right on our nose and we were only moving forward at 2 knots. Said forget it and returned to the mooring field. It was a one and a half hour round trip. By 8:30am we were relaxing ... read more

Geo: 16.3065, -61.7942Practicing my French and loving it!Throughout the French islands, thus far, we've come across "Toi là! Je t'aime!" spray painted everywhere. I smile each time I see this mini graffiti. I mean, who doesn't like to here that they are loved?!? (Loosely translated: Hey you! I love you, or directly: You there. I love you!) ... read more

Geo: 17.15, -62.63After departing St. Kitts the winds picked up to 30 knot gusts so we unexpectedly turned into the Pinney Beach mooring field in Nevis, checked in and stayed for seven days. This is a gorgeous, lush island with THOUSANDS of goats, donkeys and monkeys! Even better, was that it was Easter weekend and Pinney Beach was the place to be! https://www.tripadvisor.ca/Travel-g147377-c52861/Nevis:Caribbean:Wild.Monkeys.htmlWe met an incredibly generous Canadian couple who invited us to their home, insisted that we bring our laundry, and then took us to The Hermitage for lunch. Thank you so much, Linda and Otta for your kindness, generosity and our new friendship. My whites haven't been this white in a long time!!! ;) http://www.hermitagenevis.com March 29th, 2016 - St.Barth, St.Kitts & NevisHello All,With several days of good sail... read more

Geo: 17.8981, -62.8511There was a mass exodus from SXM for several days in the third week of March. A good weather window had boats on the move to their next destination and we were part of the southern crowd. There were many others moving in the opposite direction. With Spring around the corner, everyone is thinking of making it to their Hurricane Season destination. So we parted ways with Shangri La after departing the lagoon. They sailed to Saba. We sailed to St. Barth. I bet they had the better day. St. Barth was right on our nose, so we had to tack back and forth. We spent five gorgeous days in St. Barth. It's a beautiful island with spectacular views from the mountain tops. Our dear friends, Craig and Christa on s/v Simunya are living ... read more
