The Mona Passage is behind us. It’s time to celebrate! Celebrating 2,545 nautical miles together AND that we are no longer island leaping but island hopping, again! Wooooooooooooooo Hooooooooooooo! Cheers! We’ve been enjoying a bit of marina life/land life the past two weeks. After cr
Who doesn’t love a beautiful sunset? There’s something about the world being bathed in that red and yellow light that makes everything look extra magical 🙂 Today, I got a notification on my phone reminding me that we’ve been liveaboards for FIVE HUNDRED DAYS!! Holy moly that’s
With weather finally favorable and our despacho in hand it was time to leave Luperón! We spent over two weeks here thinking we may never get a good weather window to leave so saying goodbye to this perfect hurricane hole and cheap street food was bittersweet. Can’t say we weren’t d
We can’t spend 3.5 weeks in the DR and not do a handful of super touristy things! 🙂 We had THREE different driving experiences while in Luperón and Samaná. Car #1: Our first rental was with a hired driver for $35. Can’t beat that, right? The Bahamas were $75 a day. Well, he didn’

We made it to Long Island 🙂 The furthest south we’ve been in our sailboat – so far! We had high expectations for Long Island based off all that we read and of course what other cruisers had told us, “You’re gonna love it”. Happy to say, it did not disappoint and it&#
There’s nothing quite like cooking a meal at sea. I gotta say, I’m super proud of how well we’ve provisioned over the past year. It can be somewhat of an overwhelming process because you have to account for every single ingredient you’ll need or might need in advance. But wh
Eleuthera is a gem! It’s remote but easily reached, gorgeous, and it’s not very touristy. Eleuthera has this unique combo of pristine beach + outdoor adventure. It’s a nature lovers dream! It kept us intrigued and excited to keep moving south to discover what these islands had to o
