I feel like in all our travels we've been pretty lucky with flights. But sometimes luck runs out. Our 1 PM direct flight from Puerto Rico to Florida kept getting delayed - 2 PM, 3 PM, 4 PM. Finally we were on our way at 5 PM after getting

We always feel like we're on vacation when we visit the BVI. We ate. We drank. We danced. We had a blast with some of our closest boat friends. But summer is coming and there are a lot of boat preparations that have to be done before we

After almost a month in the USVI we were ready for a little change of scenery. Our sailing season is coming to an end, and we've had a lot of plans up in the air these last couple months - but we knew for sure we wanted to at

It's no secret that the US Virgin Islands is one of our favorite places. There is so much to do, so much to see and so many friends here to share it all with. Over the last month we've bounced back and forth between St. Thomas

We met a kid boat in the marina in Turks and Caicos that was also in the same marina in Dominican Republic. We only talked with them briefly a couple times, but they invited us to an Airbnb they rented up in the mountains for a couple days. We weren&

We're hanging out in the Dominican Republic for the week. The marina where we are is right next to the adventure park. We went there last time we were here, and I wasn't sure we would go again this time. With the large crowds and the

This season has been the most difficult one so far. We've had lots of things break on the boat since November - at least 17 things (yes, I've been keeping count). The weather has been making it very difficult to travel, especially south (the direction we want
