A week in Cuba
Hello everyone. We went away for a week. We stayed with people. That was very nice. Usually we needed two rooms. But sometimes we could do it with one. We also went to a hotel. We stayed there for a night...
Explore Cuba for a week
We were in Cuba for a week. We rented a car there. In this country, there's barely a car. They go here with horses or they ride a truck especially for people. There's also some very old...
Cuba ... an overwhelming experience !!!!!
Well, then you include Cuba in your travel planning with the idea that there is something special to be found there because there are not so many tourists yet. But what can you expect in a country that for over 50 years has been under the...
Swimming with dolphins
On our way to the Dominican Republic, we came across whales. That was very nice, because then a very big tail came out of the sea and chatted super hard on the water. It was a pity that it was very far...
An unexpected meeting with the Dominican Republic
Sailing is sailing to where the wind takes you ... yes, that even applies to us as seasoned 'planners';-) Not just keeping a tight schedule, but adapting to the changing circumstances. On the way to Cuba let's...
Diving in the BVI's
Well, the idea was born on Saba: shall we go diving with the family? This week in the BVI's we put the idea into practice! PADI diving courses start from the age of 10 and Eline is just allowed to participate. But her...
Eline dives in the Caribbean
We're in the Caribbean now. And we took part in a diving course. Me and Dad were allowed to dive 12 metres. But Mum had already got her diploma, so she went diving with Marinthe. And they were only allowed...
Marinthe diving
Hello everyone! How are you? Is the snow gone yet? We sit here in the sun and dive almost every day. That's very nice. Eline can already 12 meters deep in the sea. I can only 3 meters ...
Antigua and Saba
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...
