Every time I sit down to write, I get distracted. Usually, by looking at pretty houses, or by making our homecoming plans. It speaks to the transitional phase we’re in, and how all over the place we are. How all over the place I am, though that’s nothing new. I’m feeling like we’re between lives, […]

I had meant to write a snapshot week this week, because it’s a biggie. We’ve got a huge hurdle in the sale of Mirounga to leap, and I have a couple of other big things going on personally. In the end, though, I can’t bear to write a day by day account. Some part of […]

This week runs straight on from the last snapshot, so we cover my dad’s full trip with us. This means that we’re starting the week in Union Island, after three nights away from Bequia. Sunday 27 March We wake up after a very peaceful, comfortable night in Chatham Bay. It’s been such a nice change […]

If the last snapshot covered our most triumphant week onboard, this week was probably one of the worst, for me […]

Wow, time is passing at a crazy rate at the moment. I’m seriously hoping it slows down a little when I finish working at the end of October. As it gets closer to winter and we get the Caribbean equivalent of the nights drawing in, there doesn’t seem to be much day. I finish work […]

We’re finally starting to catch up after my month back in the UK. If I’m honest, my urge to write has been low recently. A strange kind of peace has come over me. I think I… might be relaxing? I think that’s what this feeling is? I’m very guilty of putting a lot of pressure […]

This is our review of everything and anything we experienced on Bequia and hopefully useful for anyone who hopes to visit someday!
