Right now we are in the marina of Virgin Gorda, the most eastern island of the British Virgin Islands (BVI's). We arrived this morning after a nighttrip of 86 miles from Saba. Almost out of the Caribbean again! The past...
St Lucia, Dominica and Iles les Saint
By now we have arrived a lot further north in the Caribbean; you can see that on the overview map on the homepage, so we choose to do this part a bit faster than most...
The islands of the Caribbean.
We were first in Wallibabou. That's where the film Pirates of the Caribean was shot. That's nice to see how they played it. We sailed from that bay to St Lucia. That's where the Barbarossa was....
St Vincent and the Grenadines; snorkeling and delicious food in paradise
St Vincent and the Grenadines is an archipelago of islands in the South Caribbean, with St Vincent as the largest island and numerous small islands to the south with beautiful anchor and snorkel spots....
A new time...
A new time has come, now that we are really sailing in the Caribbean, with short stretches of fantastic sailing, half to high winds with always a strong standing wind (usually force 5), nice anchorages where you can sail from the boat....
Marinthe (also) in Grenada
Dear everyone. How are you? I'm fine. We're anchored in the bay with no Dutch boats. We rented a car. We explored the island with it. That was great fun. I miss the barbarossa very...
Eline in Grenada!
We went from trinidad to grenada. It took a day. Now we're here in an anchor bay. We went to the side, and rented a car. In the evening we had dinner at a restaurant but there we could...
Pimping in Trinidad
While in Trinidad the preparations for carnival are in full swing, we (and also the Barborassa and the Jonathan) are under the spell of 'pimping' our boats, which will take a bit longer than expected, but at...
Trinidad
Trinidad is a typical Caribbean island with a distinct american influence. Typical Caribbean because of the temperature, the vegetation, the appearance of the people and the decor on sailing yachts. The american influence is clearly noticeable because of the enormous service orientation (that....
Marinthe in Trinidad.
Halo everyone. How are you doing? We're doing well. We always jump in the pool after school. That's good. Have you skated yet? Well we can't do that hihi. I hope you're...
Years on land and sea
We're having a great time here. It was my birthday yesterday. That was fun. Because it started at sea and ended on land. And because of my birthday, I got lucky with a game. From the number of miles...
Crossing to Trinidad
The crossing to Trinidad is very smooth and fast. It is still quite a distance of over 500 miles, but due to the fact that a large part of the time there is a strong current (the Guyana current of such...
The Surinamese interior
What a great decision to include Suriname in our travel planning. The country has a rich and beautiful tropical rainforest, very green, a beautiful river with very clear water, beautiful villages along....
Holidays in Paramaribo
Suriname and Paramaribo exceed our expectations, it's fun and weird to hear Dutch so far away from home, because that's just the native language of Suriname, just like the Netherlands, but much more relaxed, very nice and ...
The second part of the Atlantic crossing to Suriname
The previous report ended after 7 days and about halfway across the crossing. In this report we pick up the thread there again. A few more hours and then we sail up the Suriname River; the end of the more than two...
