Sailing the Southern Caribbean
Today’s post is a little different. Instead of me droning on for an hour, for you slow readers, or twenty-eight seconds, for those realizing they got the wrong site, I would like to present you with a cinematic master piece. A MONTAGE!!!
But before you cringe let me also say that it has music, and dolphins jumping, and oceans, and an amazing car race with scantly clad women….OK the last part is a lie.
It’s a video re-cap of our sailing journey across the southern Caribbean from Grenada to Colombia, over 1000 nautical miles, 7 months, and 2 sailboats later.
So go pop some pop-corn, sit back and relax!

It’s also on YouTube if you have a preference.

However, we were destined to follow the sun west and on Tuesday morning, June 2nd we pulled up anchor and motored out of the channel.
