Anyone want to crew with us?
Here’s a call for interested crew – we’re looking for people who might want to sail from the British Virgin Islands to Bermuda then on to Boston. This would be towards the end of May, taking up to two weeks. If anyone reading this is interested, or knows people who might be, then let us […]
Photos from the Maison de Cafe, Guadeloupe
We never posted any pictures of this amazing place, so here they are, up in the mountains of Guadeloupe, a beautiful place.
Maxism
Being in a little bit of France, we get salami sausage – the whole sausage about a foot long and an inch across. We’re cutting some when Issie asks what animal it comes from. We explain that it comes from a pig. “Did it pooh it out?” says Max.

Guadeloupe redeems itself
So after the ups and downs of Point a Pitre, we rented a car and explored some of inland Guadeloupe for a day. It turned out to be a fantastic day. We started nice and early, having a quick pain au chocolat as we sorted out the paperwork for the car, then headed into the […]
Words from Issie
Issie wrote a postcard to her friend, so we thought we’d share it with you and add some of our pictures. She dictated the text to Gesa, just in case you thought that our spelling school was working remarkably well… There’s a little white lighthouse in Les Saintes where we went in and looked at […]
Les Fruits de Mer
Living on the sea, you would think that fish was a big part of our diet. In Antigua, we ate surprisingly little fish. We didn’t catch much around the island, as the better fishing is offshore, and we never seemed to run into fishing boats returning at the right time. In Guadeloupe, it’s been a […]
