After 3 weeks in Dominica, a weather window finally opened up. We’d spent a week trying to decide where to go. Do we continue South down the Caribbean chain? Do we go North? So, we set our sights on Montserrat for some blissful downwind sailing! Typically by early spring it’s important t
Ahhh . . . Les Saintes! A truly remarkable little archipelago. It’s a cluster of eight small islands with some of the most beautiful bays in the world. Its off-grid Caribbean charm instantly won us over. Along with all the fresh baguettes, beignets, and gelato. The sail from mainland Guad
It’s true…WE LOVE GUADELOUPE! We spent over a month+ in the butterfly-shaped 630 square-mile island duo, and it did not disappoint us. With its lush rainforest, volcanic peaks, and all the delicious food and wine you could possibly want. Guadeloupe blends some of the most appealing aspec

We’ve been all over St. Thomas and the British Virgin Islands for the past two months and St. John has been our favorite! We just keep gravitating back here. St. John may be the smallest of the 3 U.S. Virgin Islands but it is strikingly beautiful! 60% of the island is taken up by the […
We’ve been in the Virgin Islands for nine weeks! Incredibly grateful that we’ve been able to call the VI’s “home” for the remainder of our second cruising season. To think back, 7 months ago this was just a goal, a dream, a plan we’d hoped to achieve. It wasn’t
The South Coast of Puerto Rico is full of beautiful landscapes, warm people, fascinating attractions and intriguing cities. We’ve spent a month+ in PR and are amazed at how much it has to offer. The island itself is only 110 miles long (west to east) but offers everything from pristine beaches to
