Chapter 130: A Photo Journey

This past week we spent a day at Washington Slagbaai National Park on Bonaire. It is one of the most incredible places we have yet visited. Rather that describe it in words, we thought we would let photos tell the… Continue Reading →

Chapter 129: Beauty in Bonaire

We arrived in Bonaire one week ago yesterday and we honestly love it here! Bonaire is an island municipality of the Netherlands (like Saba that we also loved!) Bonaire lies off Venezuela’s coast in the southern Caribbean.  It is part… Continue Reading →

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 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 →
