Chapter 103: Sun and Snorkeling!

We have spent the last several days learning more about why the BVI’s are such a popular place to charter.  We have visited some fantastic spots for sure!  We stayed in Cane Bay Garden on Tortola for two days.  It… Continue Reading →

Chapter 102: When Electrons Attack

You know what’s hard? Trying to explain something you don’t understand. In medicine, the mantra while I was training was always “see one, do one, teach one”. Well, I can see the problem, but I just don’t get it. The… Continue Reading →

Chapter 101: The BVI’s with many friends…

On Friday, we left St. John, USVI to jump across to the British Virgin Islands.  The trip from Coral Bay to Tortola was a short one,  less than 2 hours. We needed to clear in with customs and immigration so… Continue Reading →

Chapter 100: We Love It!

Yep. We do. Specifically, I’m referring to St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands. When we dreamed about voyaging on a sailboat, St. John is exactly what we were picturing in our minds. It is absolutely gorgeous. Each anchorage is… Continue Reading →

Chapter 99: Now We’re Cookin’!

(This post not sanctioned by Kim.) That’s right. IT. We know you’re wondering about IT. Well, I know you’re wondering about IT. Kim says no one is wondering, but I know better. Or maybe it’s because, as a pediatrician, I… Continue Reading →

Chapter 96: Three Whole Days Off the Boat?!? What?!?!

We left Cabo Real to head to Ponce on Monday, 4/22.  It was a pretty easy trip and we arrived by early afternoon.  There is one marina there, Ponce Yacht and Fishing Club, that we were hoping to stay at… Continue Reading →

Chapter 95: Puerto Rico!

Let’s be clear: Puerto Rico is NOT a new country. It’s part of the U.S. Look it up. But it definitely has it’s own vibe. We left the Dominican Republic early Thursday for the estimated 30 hour trip to Puerto… Continue Reading →

Chapter 94: About the Food…

“What do you eat on the boat?” It’s a question we get all the time. And I mean ALL the time. The answer is easy: salt beef and hardtack. Just kidding. That was ship rations in the 19th century. Along… Continue Reading →
