16º 18.258' N61º 47.472' WMarVynOvernight in Montserrat--such a shame not to have been able to stay as it was gorgeous and I'm sure it's worth a stop. We felt funny about being gawkers as the only thing we've heard to do was take a tour of the volcano destruction. Next time I want an AirBnB and to stay for a bit. Weather on our tail so we took off this am for the second half of the trip---Deshaies, Guadeloupe. Certainly beautiful from the boat. Can't wait to spend some time! about 6 years  agoShow

17º 39.588' N61º 51.594' WMarVynAnother new island---Barbuda! Certainly a beauty but completely rearranged by Irma. Seems a little like my home beach at Matanzas Inlet, FL. There are two big rips created by the storm on what used to be a spit of land encircling Codrington Bay. Now they still flow freely with the open Atlantic/Caribbean waters nearly a year and a half later. But the pink beaches and turquoise waters make for breathtaking backdrops to the incomparable sunsets. I could stay a while.... about 5 years  agoShow

17º 54.054' N62º 51.468' WMarVynGustavia again. Amazing passage----whales at the beginning, whales (breeching, flukes, sprays, etc) at the end, barracuda, unnamed fish that escaped, two Little Tunny. Just beautiful. Rolly in the anchorage but all good!about 5 years  agoShow

18º 4.272' N67º 11.268' WMarVynSettled comfortably in Puerto Real at Marina Pescaderia. Jose and his staff here are great people and they run a wonderful marina. We are hiding out from some severe swell and should leave tomorrow to tuck into the southern coast of Puerto Rico, looking for as much bioluminescence as we can get! about 6 years  agoShow

18º 4.446' N65º 47.496' WMarVynPuerto Rico is beautiful and it's mountains make us feel like we're sailing through Wyoming or Utah!?! But one night here and onward still. Still looking for bioluminescence...about 6 years  agoShow

Wow---full day! The girls did great! They are liking downwind sailing.about 5 years  agoShow

18º 19.146' N65º 13.656' WMarVynMoved out of a disappointing Culebra to the ever-stunning Culebrita. Lovely sunset while the kids played with Kairos5 kids on the paddle board and we got to know the folks on the Balance and the Outremer next door. Clint always runs on the low end of society. about 5 years  agoShow

18º 19.302' N64º 50.382' WMarVynReturning to Redhook is a homecoming of sorts. MarVyn was based here for her year of charter before we brought her back to the States for rehab and finally moving aboard. Good to be back for a brief period. Also, good to have seen Captain Steve already!about 6 years  agoShow

18º 19.734' N65º 19.962' WMarVynMainland PR to Vieques, now settled into Culebra. So beautiful. Ravaged, yes, but recovering, and the people are all in. Last night we found THE bioluminescent bay and watched the water around us actually glow. Incredible! about 6 years  agoShow

18º 21.324' N64º 44.484' WMarVynAh, Maho Bay, how beautiful and yet heartbreaking. Such a peaceful break from Redhook but the effects of Irma and Maria are clear, dramatic, and deep, but certainly reversible. Hopeful for the coming season to be easy on this place. about 6 years  agoShow

21º 5.082' N73º 38.784' WMarVynThree solid days on the sea from San Juan to Matthew Town, Inagua. Kairos5 sticking by. The sail went very well. Saw the Pink Dolphins and the Lone Whale--Clint's latest punk band name! Otherwise, just 24 hours of 25-30 knots of wind and 7-8 foot seas, but all is well! Funny how quickly confidence builds. Waves breaking into the cockpit? No big deal. Winds and waves pushing your boat to 13.8 knots? Whatever. Life remains good. about 5 years  agoShow

21º 41.376' N73º 50.718' WMarVynHogsty Reef. One of only three atolls in the Atlantic. What an amazing stop!! Three sharks, tons of fish, beauty that just won’t quit!!almost 5 years  agoShow

21º 44.1' N72º 17.298' WMarVynWe’ve been in TCI for a couple days now but have just gotten internet service. So very wonderful and strange to be back here. Going to find a coffee shop this am to feel a little of the old days!about 6 years  agoShow

22º 10.248' N75º 43.644' WMarVynAnd now Duncan Town on Ragged Island in arguably the most remote area of the Bahamas. Still struggling to recover after Irma, only about 40 of the previously 100+ residents have returned.almost 5 years  agoShow

22º 26.178' N75º 49.98' WMarVynBuena Vista Cay. Yet another gorgeous anchorage. Its only human occupant is not to be found; his house clearly was destroyed by Irma and I fear he has not quite recovered. His peacocks and chickens are still around and we can hear his goats! Expecting some winds on our way up to Flamingo.almost 5 years  agoShow

22º 43.2' N73º 52.902' WMarVynIt was a slugfest from Rum to Acklin's but we made it and all is well. Looking forward to a good night's sleep on quiet, peaceful Atwood Harbour. We'll move on to Mayaguana whenever the weather lets us. Until then, we'll go hunting lobster!about 6 years  agoShow

22º 53.04' N75º 52.128' WMarVynFlamingo Cay certainly is a beauty. Didn't find the first cave but the second cave/grotto was breathtaking. Marley's find of a blue hole with small bright orange crawfish was fun. Spent a second night with Second Star!almost 5 years  agoShow

23º 1.668' N75º 42.906' WMarVynWater Cay is yet another stunner. Nurse shark under the boat nearly as soon as we anchored. A dive cut short by more shark sightings---I've never seen Clint get back in the dinghy so fast! Quite a storm overnight.almost 5 years  agoShow

Rondo, thanks for a wonderful dinner and good company! Looking forward to seeing Pura Vida here soon, too. Then, on to Turks and Caicos!about 6 years  agoShow

23º 21.348' N75º 8.688' WMarVynFinally moved out of our George Town spot to Long Island. Here at sundown so not much to say except YEAH! Have +2 aboard. Thanks to Britican and Pura Vida for sharing your kids with us! And thanks to Aqua Bob for the company!about 6 years  agoShow

23º 45.648' N76º 5.202' WMarVynAfter being pinned in for several days by a mean little NE'er (apparently those in the States know something about this storm, huh?) we've made it a bit further south. Slowly making it to Chicken Town.over 6 years  agoShow

23º 52.302' N76º 14.382' WMarVynTo one of my favorite places on the planet today—-Rudder Cut Cay. Dinner of island chicken, broccoli and cauliflower, sourdough rosemary parmesan rolls, and Marley brownies. Good night!almost 5 years  agoShow

24º 32.856' N76º 47.628' WMarVynShroud Cay. Missed it last year due to time. Not so this year!

25º 37.422' N77º 44.634' WMarVynAnd now we are anchored at Hoffman’s Cay where we should have been last night! No bumps today—yeah!!almost 5 years  agoShow

25º 44.154' N77º 48.12' WMarVynWhat a day. A predawn departure from High our world Cay, leaving the Exumas (sniff, sniff!), by Nassau, and finally to the Berry Islands. Great sailing landed us at the entry point to get behind our island a bit early. Unfortunately that meant right at low tide. We ran aground and had to wait for water to rise as our other attempts to free ourselves failed. Anchored in the dark just behind Soldier Cay instead. Tomorrow, at high water, we’ll catch up with Kaitos5 at our planned anchorage. But we’re all fine! The Berries look beautiful!almost 5 years  agoShow

Early tomorrow am it’s into the Gulf Stream for a float back to FL. almost 5 years  agoShow
