I know, I know. It’s so soon after the last one. My expectations for this week were low. We’d just had a week of chilling out, exploring Anegada, and a couple of dinner dates with Mark and Livio before they flew home. Our last day together involved a visit to a rum distillery and a […]
This week is the week we’ve not let ourselves get hopeful for. We’ve barely planned, and we’ve tried not to get excited. With Covid, and Omicron in particular, we haven’t dared. But it’s happening – our friends Mark and Livio are joining us for a week. We KNOW it’s happening because as I write this […]
We finally did it. We made a full overnight crossing. This might have happened months ago. We could have skipped over islands, or not sought permission to anchor for sleep. In retrospect, we just weren’t ready. We like the slow journey. And we didn’t want our first overnighter to be too long. But from St […]
It’s a rare double feature for us, I couldn’t resist recording our New Year week as well as Christmas. We’re starting in Grand Case after an excellent Christmas, not really knowing at all what the week will bring. We need to get to BVI with at least a week to spare before Mark and Livio […]
After weeks of inertia, could this be it? Could we be doing something? Yup, we’re starting this week still in Simpson Bay, still lacking motivation. This is one of those times when I really don’t have anything to update since the last blog. But this is Christmas week, something has to happen. Right? Sunday 19 […]

It’s not been long since our last snapshot, but so much is happening right now that we’re already due another! As we picked up on in the last blog, Colin’s brother Alastair and his wife Rose joined us on Tuesday 16 November. This is their first trip to the Caribbean, and they’re our first guests. […]
As promised, these will hopefully come more often… I almost feel like I should be doing one every week given how busy we are, but that would just be… a diary. If you want to keep up with us in something more like real-time, keep an eye on our Instagram and Facebook stories. We try […]
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 […]
