🇬🇧 After Terre-de-Haut we decided to explore the smaller neighbour Terre-de-Bas together with @svsauvage. We’re so glad we did! This sleepy island with its 985 inhabitants was a gem. Everyone we saw said a friendly „bonjour“, all smiles, or made time for some nice small-talk. We visited the ruins of an old pottery which back …
🇬🇧 We spent a couple of days exploring the island Terre-de-Haut in Les Saintes, Guadeloupe together with two American and one Canadian boat: Jace, @svsauvage and Whispering Winds. The snorkelling in the bay next to the distinctive stoney hill Pain à Sucre was great, we even observed a family of cute little squids. They have …
🇬🇧 We visited the very informative „maison du cacao“ in Guadeloupe and learned how chocolate is made. The seed pods grow directly on the trunk of the cocoa tree. Each pod contains around 50 cocoa beans. Harvesting can only be done manually. After harvesting, the cocoa beans are removed from the pods and fermented and …
🇬🇧 We hiked up to the first Carbet waterfall today. Incredibly proud of the kids who managed this difficult and strenous hike as if we were walking in the park. 550m altimeter and 7 kilometers. This was an incredibly beautiful hike through the Guadeloupean rainforest. Mind-blowing! We will all sleep well tonight and dream of …
🇬🇧 Chris and I met on an offshore sailing race across the North Sea and racing has been in my (Julia)’s blood for a long time. Whilst it’s nice to be watching regattas, especially with such hot boats as in the Voile de St Barths‘, it’s even nicer to be out on the water and …
🇬🇧 Time flies when you’re having fun, they say. And this is how the past two weeks have felt for us. We took our friends Anne and Jo on a cruise to our favourite spots in Antigua, Barbuda and St Barths, timed it right so we could hike up the hills to watch the Voiles …
🇬🇧 When walking on Barbuda’s southerly beach at Spanish Point just around the corner from the luxurious Barbuda Ocean Club we saw pieces of torn fisher nets scattered everywhere. Lost fisher nets are a huge ecological problem that pollute the oceans with microplastic (which then ends in our food chain) and bring death to thousands …
🇬🇧 We have spent a couple of wonderful days off the coast of Barbuda… 🇩🇪 Wir haben ein paar wunderschöne Tage vor der Küste von Barbuda verbracht…
🇬🇧 It’s our second time in Antigua and we are really enjoying being back and showing our friends our favourite places. We walked up to Shirley Heights for the sunset yesterday and admired the magnificent view. Today we were treated to a delicious smoothie at the beautiful Admiral’s Inn in English Harbour before we set …
🇬🇧 Brothers of the Coast moment! It was about time that brother Qualle replaced his worn out flag and that brother Cutty Sark raised his flag on our beautiful boat! Oooooorrrrzzzaaaaa!! 🇩🇪 Brüder der Küste Moment! Es war an der Zeit, dass Bruder Qualle seine abgenutzte Flagge ersetzt und dass Bruder Cutty Sark seine Flagge …
