Back again with another update on the Galapagos! In the last post I mentioned some of the wildlife and how abundant it was, and in this video you can see even more! More fish, more sharks, more sea lions, and these Galapagos Sea Lions are incredibly playful; I spent hours in the water playing with them. The pups got to the point that they were taking sticks out of my hand to swim around with. Even with all the things to see on land and the water, we still spent a great deal o

A little delayed but here we are, alive and well! The last vlog post showed us going through the Panama canal on the 21st of January, and it was as if we went through a portal to another planet. The Pacific Ocean is so incredibly different than the Caribbean, and I think it was a great change for all of us. There seems to be much more marine life; rays, sharks, schools of fish, sport fish, sea lions, turtles, etc. The Caribbean is not tidal, here it is the opposite. In Las Pe

We are now in the Pacific! See below for some highlights of the transit from the Atlantic to Pacific Oceans.

Our adventures continue in the Guna Yala territory of Panama! After celebrating Christmas and New Years, we have continued exploring the various islands and reefs in San Blas. We typically enjoy one or two days in a particular anchorage, before moving on to a new location. The distance between anchorages can be from 1 to 4 hours of travel. One of the joys of sailing here is that the outer islands bare the brunt of the ocean swell, leaving the gulf of San Blas largely unaf

We made landfall on the 23rd after an overall smooth and uneventful passage from Sint Maarten. Since then we’ve been cruising around to various island groups and making the most out of every anchorage. Cayos Holandes, Cayos Coco Banderos, and Cayos Lemones are some of the places where we have anchored. The snorkeling here is absolutely incredible and the reef seems to be very healthy. In the video you can see a massive school of little feeder fish, Pica Pica is what the local

Yesterday we left the dock, filled up the tanks and got out of Saint Martin at 10:30 in the morning. We put up the sails almost immediately and have done very little motoring since. We are sailing downwind wing and wing averaging about 6 knots. This morning we were close enough to Saint Croix to see the lights from the island and this evening we are currently 70 NM south of Puerto Rico. First full day on the boat was great. We each caught a fish, Mike and I both caught a Mahi
