island life
We haven't been up to very much lately, which is why there haven't been any posts in a while. We've spent a lot of time at the beach, swimming, hanging out with new friends, sailing lessons and checking out the wildlife. We're

seven sisters
Today was the day to cross another waterfall off our list. We saved this for last because it is the hardest to get to. There are actually seven waterfalls (hence the name Seven Sisters), but three through seven are more difficult to get to. The path was pretty muddy and

beach and bingo
It was a beautiful day for a beach day. Last night we went to one of the other marina restaurants for dinner. Turns out Tuesday is trivia night. The girls really wanted to play... and surprisingly they are pretty good at it. Fun fact - Olivia named our trivia team

We woke up this morning with no real plans. We decided the water was too rough to try to swim with the turtles again, so we dropped the mooring ball and headed on our way. Braden has had a fishing trip in Alaska planned for a long time. We knew

swimming with turtles
We did end up staying in Mayreau another day... and this trip to the beach we had the camera! Two things that have gotten a ton of use in the last month... (1) the paddleboard, and (2) masks and snorkels. So far all the islands we've been to

much better
Last night was not the best. Poor Emma got sick right after dinner. Not sure if it was the food or all the rolling the boat was doing or a combination of both. She got some fresh air, water and fell asleep outside in the cockpit. Luckily this morning she
