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! Was it like a warning sign? Or maybe I missed Zika Street, followed by Chikungunya Road, across the Yellow…
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. We took him with us from Martinique down south. We never made it together there, but he totally…
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!

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!
Some unproffesional and probably quite unimportant Atlantic crossing facts and figures:
Canary Islands were a very particular step for us. We had an idea that we could make there some minor adjustments, that we couldn’t finish in the Netherlands, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to cross the Atlantic in 2018. We planned 3 months there, so it looked like we would have plenty of time to…
So…. here we are… starting the blog is a bit like first writing on the clean toilet wall. It could be either shy, small: „I love Jullie” hidden behind a paper holder, or big, red, fat: „Adrian is a dick” in the middle of the wall. I think I’ll start small, as I am a…
