My final sail for now… back to city living for a bit. It don’t worry, I’ll be back ❤️

Last day onboard. Screaming crying throwing up. I don’t want to go home… Anyways sailed off the mooring and into this anchorage. Time for one last dive 🫧

Hand steered this whole passage again which is just so fun?!! I never get tired of it 🥹

Let’s hope immigration lets me in 😅

You know the drill…

Update: I did see sharks during the dive… and the current was craaazy so we burnt through the air pretty quick. But it was still a very cool wreck. And this was a stunning sail. Now at customs and immigration to check out, heading to the USVI tmrw :)

John and I are in our diving groove these days!! This one is supposed to have sharks though, I’m scared 😣 Will let you know how it goes…

I was so tired this afternoon! So I slept through most of this ngl…

Look how gorgeous MoVi is!!!

We made boat friends and sailed here with them!! I napped for most of the day because they came over for dinner yesterday and stayed until midnight. Which is very very late for me now. I am a boat life grandma.

This was fun!! Should do it more often 😋

Saw some racing boats on our way out, had a bit of rain, good winds…

This was my 5th time sailing between English harbour and jolly harbour lol… very nice to be back on MoVi. Feels like home 🥹💌

Big passage small boat!! A few people were sick, we lost our dinghy, and got our mooring stolen as we arrived but other than that this was fun, happy to be back in Guadeloupe! TWS: 25 knots Sail plan: 2nd reef main and jib Swell: 1-2m

Slipped alongside and then went into the marina stern to! It was scary but very happy to have finally done it :)) also this is where we slept last night and then did a 3hr sail at 6am to get to English harbour only to be told we were sailing back to here 😭 TWS: 15-20knots Sail plan: first reef main, jib on spin pole in wing and wing setup, then normal setup on a beam reach towards jolly harbour.

John passed his yachtmaster yesterday!!!! Finished at 11pm and left the dock at 6am this morning so I am dead… see ya ;)

Gonna be doing this trip three times in the next two days lol. This was a slow sail but that’s okay :’(

Title says it all… test is tomorrow, everyone say good luck John!!

Will be heading back to English harbour on Friday so taking a few days to explore… I did some day work on a sailing superyacht yesterday and today which was an experience!! Time to crunch on my studying now 😅

This was very calming and peaceful and beautiful ❤️

Feeling very recharged after catching up with a friend!! Crazy how chatting with someone other than your 3 crew mates for the first time in months does that 😅

Leaving Tuva hereee 😢😢

Do i even need to say it? Anyways- was at the helm while anchoring but picked a terrible spot bc there were super yacht people on jet skis and SUPs in the more protected spot… oh whale. Feeling down today.

No wind all day (for the first time ever)!! Grey day… hot at first but cooled down thankfully. Read a book and napped lots. Anchored just after dark xx

Was exhausted after our dive this morning but had a gorgeous sunset on arrival!!

Excited to finally be in Guadeloupe! Had an early departure with no wind at all so we motored part of the way, but it was beautiful nonetheless!

The winds are so shifty in between the islands so this was a bit swelly but quite nice otherwise! Settled into a rolly but very breezy anchorage, feels cozy and should be a good nights sleep 🫶

Girlie needs to go to the doctors 😬😬 first overnight hop since the crossing… all went well except for this massive motor yacht which wasn’t on the AIS and came at us at 20knots while we were sailing. mean :(

At the helm the whole time. The entrance into this bay is terrifying, you can see the breaks on all the shoals… much busier in the anchorage than last time we were here but significantly less windy so that’s good!! Time to swim with turtles again 🥰🥰

Woahh I think this was our longest sailing day since the Atlantic?? Upwind slog but there wasn’t too much swell so it was actually very chill… rested a lot and enjoyed the breeze on the foredeck 🥰

Starting to loose my creativity with these captions… this was another sail and again it was lovely because sailing always is :)

Did a random MOB drill for John, checked out a spot we might go back to later, and had a lovely lil sail. Excited to check this place out :))

This was fun until it was time to anchor… girl’s got some learning to do 😅 step by step though. One day this won’t be totally terrifying surely? 🫣

Title says it all… turtle time!!

More MOD drills that were kind of chaotic… big sweep, good sail, water here is gorgeous, and Koru is at our anchorage once again…

I think I might be broken because these short sails still feel so weird after the crossing 😅anyways… somehow ended up in the same anchorage as Jeff Bezos’ boat for the third time in a row 🤷‍♀️ apparently if we wanna be famous we should go swim in some billionaires’ private pool? maybe not this time 😉 oh also we did some MOB drills before this sail :))

Promptly exiting Saint Lucia 🫡 as breathing air here costs money and we’ve got places to see! This was bit of a tedious sail and we ended up motoring the last few miles but overall very lovely conditions once again. Studied for my VHF cert and brushed up on the phonetic alphabet… off the the grenadines tomorrow!! Oh how I do love this life 💗

Wow, this boat sails well towards the wind… we were quite heeled but I think that’s fun!! Sailed onto and off the anchor, prettyyy class if you ask me ;) xx

Lovely upwind sail, very heeled but still managed to take a nap on the windward bench of the cockpit… at the helm while anchoring, should be set for a quiet night! ⚓️😃 (oh and i made cookies)

Was working on my laptop for most of this sail ugh… but the conditions are beautiful and we had a delicious lunch!

Wow does it feel good to be back out and sailing! A week on anchorage feels like a loooong time, even after an Atlantic crossing… we were definitely starting to get itchy feet. This was a lovely little sail under genoa, calm seas, good breeze. No complaints 😉🫶
