We are happy in Culebrita, working hard and having fun as well. Still together with our friends Robbie and Pete and Bob and Claudia. We will be here till the hurricane season, then plan to go back to Curacao. Here's what has happened since leaving Cartagena. We made a decision to spend Christmas with Bob and Claudia ( S/V Flashback) in Culebra in the Spanish Virgin Islands. Leaving Cartagena with the “promise” of a weather window of light winds and reduced current we sat of up the coast past Barranquilla with its dangerous river outflow of debris and on up to Santa Martha for a quick rest in Rodadero Beach. Just around the corner of the coast from there lie the famous 5 Bays which offer good protected anchorages while we waited for favorable winds to carry us along the 120 mile stretch to Cabo de la Vela. We were unable to sail and were reduced to motoring into nearly 30 kts of wind with and adverse current. Eventually reaching Cabo de la Vela, we gratefully anchored under the p...

A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!! Its been a long time since our last blog entry, in fact just over three years, so we will do our best to bring you up to date with all our goings-on! As with most years in 2015 the few months of the cyclone season are not the time to be sailing very far from home and a number of very pleasant snorkeling expeditions a few miles down the road to the Cousteau resort were about as adventurous as it got ! In April we attempted to go for a sail with friends and as we left the mooring half our folding propeller fell off and that little trip was canceled! That same evening we heard the terrible news that our friend Bernard, whose wedding we had attended in 2014, had fallen into the natural hot springs and had received massive burns from the super heated steam. More then 70 % of his skin was affected. He was transported to Suva where regrettably he passed away a few days later. It was a very sad time for the yachting ...

FIJI After a very nice but very wet 6-day trip from American Samoa to Fiji, we arrived early morning on what we thought was Friday the 30th of November. Crossing the date line As we came in to Savu Savu a friendly Fijian man came out in his little boat from where he worked at the Copra Shed Marina and assisted us in getting tied safely to a mooring. The local officials came out to the boat and checked us in and all the paperwork formalities were completed in a friendly atmosphere. The only down side to our arrival was that we had failed to remember that by crossing the date line on 180⁰ longitude, it was now Saturday and at weekends we became subject to overtime charges of about $200! With formalities behind us we were now at liberty to go ashore  and explore Savu Savu. The village is a wonderful mixture of Fijian and  East Indian culture, the Indian population being the principal small shop owners and almost anything ...
