Good question. Even more relevant now when, out of a sudden, we have two kids to teach. But let’s start from the beginning… Homeschooling is not a walk in the park. It is hard. It is brutal. You are on the front line. You get punches, and you cannot fight back. If it doesn’t work,…
We made it! We finally have left Martinique. It took us only… a year! Very strange feeling, very strange… especially now that I look at it from another island, just 250 Nm away. It was so easy to leave, yet so hard! It’s like our friend Andrew said: “This (Martinique) is the best place to…
Let me tell you something. This life we live now, it ain’t always beach, drinks and reggae music. For starters, we are not really beach-type of people. Second of all, drinks are way too time-consuming to prepare, so we take it straight, beer, wine, or rum, you name it. As for reggae music…. Well… The…
Last year I was walking down the streets of Port of Spain in Trinidad. Quite a nice neighborhood… Bay Road, West Main, Bengal Street, Finland… and out of a sudden – BAM! Dengue street*! No kidding!

I thought this Corona madness would not affect us that much… well, I was wrong. It was almost like a normal life. Like on those silly memes on the life of the sailor before-, and in the times of corona. Not much of a change 🙂 Soon, I started to realize that some things were taken…
Windward, Carriacou – where music meets shipbuilding Once upon a time, there was a guy from Poland, who had a dream to visit Windward in Carriacou, and to learn there how to build wooden boats traditional way.

It’s been a while since you’ve heard from us. The reason why is that we put our Dog on the hard, and went to Europe, to visit friends and family, and do some shopping! Don’t get fooled here, it was not about shoes or clothes. Mostly it was boat jewelry like new valves and through-hulls,…
Sailing thriller – sometimes sh*^% happens… oh… Sorry, but before we go to Tobago, we just have to tell you about the sailing. Boy, that was a hell of an adventure! Vincent had been excited already for few days about this passage. Ocean sailing is a feast! Whales, dolphins… we eat, we sing, we read…
Carriacou – one week on the hard Carriacou is the seventh star on Grenada’s flag. The name means surrounded by many reefs. What we learned later, it was also smugglers island. Pssst… still is and the vibe is pretty much there. As you can imagine, we loved it from the very first day 🙂
Dominica part 2 – party with prime minister, chocolate and Indian river. The journey continues! Enjoy! 🙂
Dominica only for few days, but managed to impress us so much that we will be back for sure, and we recommend it from the bottom of our hearts!
