We always feel like we're on vacation when we visit the BVI. We ate. We drank. We danced. We had a blast with some of our closest boat friends. But summer is coming and there are a lot of boat preparations that have to be done before we

After almost a month in the USVI we were ready for a little change of scenery. Our sailing season is coming to an end, and we've had a lot of plans up in the air these last couple months - but we knew for sure we wanted to at

It's no secret that the US Virgin Islands is one of our favorite places. There is so much to do, so much to see and so many friends here to share it all with. Over the last month we've bounced back and forth between St. Thomas

We were in St. Thomas for Carnival two years ago. It is a wild time - colorful costumes, loud music and a lot of fun. We started on Thursday night with an evening of rides. Friday we spent the day at the kids parade, and followed it up Saturday with the

We're hanging out in the Dominican Republic for the week. The marina where we are is right next to the adventure park. We went there last time we were here, and I wasn't sure we would go again this time. With the large crowds and the

This season has been the most difficult one so far. We've had lots of things break on the boat since November - at least 17 things (yes, I've been keeping count). The weather has been making it very difficult to travel, especially south (the direction we want

Well... half of us are. Braden and Emma took this long stretch of sitting and waiting to take a trip to Florida for a couple days. We had some much needed packages and mail to pick up, and now seemed like a good time since the boat isn't
