Chapter 128: The Less Short Passage

MADE IT!!! I write this from Bonaire!  After 2 months, we finally left Grenada.  Grenada was wonderful to us-we completed the boat work we needed to do, had some good food (Indian-yum!), saw the sights, and met some really nice… Continue Reading →

Chapter 127: The One Where We’re a Speedboat

At the moment, we’re just hanging out. We’d like to leave Grenada. We really would. But we can’t. Because… Well, because of two things really. First, we ordered some parts. FIVE WEEKS AGO!!! And they haven’t arrived yet. When I… Continue Reading →

Chapter 126: Hot times in Grenada with a side of #$%@!

We are successfully back in the water and at anchor – hurray! We had initially estimated that Meraviglia would be out of the water for two full weeks with a splash date to go back in on 10/3. Happily, Bob… Continue Reading →

Chapter 125: Karma Shift!

Chapter 122: Grenada

We arrived in Grenada from Bequia on 8/18 and it felt like a HUGE accomplishment.  For as long as we have been working and planning – the goal was to get to Grenada for hurricane season.  Originally, we thought we… Continue Reading →

Chapter 121: “Mommy, Where Do Doctors Come From?”

This post, admittedly, has nothing to do with sailing, cruising, or any of the various catastrophes we have brought upon ourselves. Instead, let’s talk about doctors. Since I, Bob, happen to be one, it’s a subject near and dear to… Continue Reading →

Chapter 120: Bequia and Whaling!!

We arrived in Bequia on Friday, 8/9 after a blessedly uneventful overnight passage from Martinique.  After spending 5 weeks in Martinique and enjoying it,  I was a bit sad to be leaving but excited to continue towards Grenada. Prior to… Continue Reading →

Chapter 119: I Smell Smoke

Not gonna lie. It’s been hard to write this post. The event actually happened a few weeks ago but it freaked us out so badly we needed time to process. The good news? I think we’re in a good place… Continue Reading →
