But here are some of the highlights Landing in Martinique coming from France is a really easy trip that lots of people do normally in summer.

Bienvenue a la Martinique!
July 20, 2020 The sail went very well from Antigua to Martinique. We arrived on July 14 at 12:50pm to Anse Mitan. As it was Bastille Day the place was greatly alive. We had not seen something like this in the entire trip. Not even before COVID back the in first week of March whenContinue reading “Bienvenue a la Martinique!”
Decision time where to go next
July 12, 2020 I know it is still July and we have been saying that by now we should definitely be more south. But guess what, we are still here. In fact, the official hurricane season starts on June 1st, most insurance will not cover anything on your boat if you are north of 10Continue reading “Decision time where to go next”
Antigua charming and empty beaches
June 30,2020 We are free to sail to different bays and islands which has been excellent. We have basically done the full tour of of the main island a couple of times by boat and land. We added some small islands and some underwater sightings. We are visiting a different version of Antigua. Normally atContinue reading “Antigua charming and empty beaches”
The quiet Barbuda…
June 24,2020 Antigua & Barbuda, but most people never make it to Barbuda. Ferry for a couple of hours with only a very sleepy town to visit, small flights which probably take 30mn or so, or a nice 6 to 8h sail north are your options to get there. Except for a couple of fantasticContinue reading “The quiet Barbuda…”

Antigua claim to have a beach for everyday of the year. We don’t intend to stayContinue reading “Antigua opening slowly to travellers”
Arrive in Antigua
June 9, 2020 Almost a 24hr sail. It was nice with light winds and full sails and couple of hours engine. Very comfortable, Happy Days is great.

Good Bye Dominica. Thank you!
June 8, 2020 Three full months… that’s the time we have been here. And fortunately, our balance of this three months with all that is happening in the world is very positive. We arrived in Roseau to an anchorage not that pretty and a city that didn’t look very welcoming. On the first night, afterContinue reading “Good Bye Dominica. Thank you!”
Exploring Dominica, less restrictions
May 5,2020 It seems that we have been here forever…. our plan was to stay here only 10 days and we have been here 10 weeks. But we can’t complain, Dominica managed really well the spread of Covid-19. Restrictions keep changing and getting more relaxed so we can move a little bit more and visitContinue reading “Exploring Dominica, less restrictions”
