American Honey
Lake Havasu City, AZ
Hi! Currently living aboard our Bali 4.4 American Honey with my family (parents, brother, two cats, and a dog!) So far, we have spent time in the our islands of the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, Puerto Rico, USVIs, BVIs, Sint Maarten, Guadeloupe, Martinique, and we are finally in Grenada ⛵️
Sushi secured and back “home” in Mount Hartman Bay ⛵️ had to drop the anchor twice to make sure we weren’t dragging, but a nice little trip to get the anchor up. We are trying to not sit so long in one spot without moving 😅
Short trip from Mount Hartman Bay to Tru Blue Bay to have lunch at the container park without paying a ridiculous price for a taxi 🤩 very excited for sushi
A much better sailing day with higher winds and no dead spots! We ended up coming in 3rd in the monohull division for the regatta and had a great time at the bbq beach party 🥳 a great weekend with awesome friends both new and old.
From squalls to 0 knots of wind, to learning how to use a spinnaker and sail successfully with the gusts on a monohull, it was an insane day. Finished the regatta with 7 minutes to spare! Mattie taught me how to ease into the gusts to prevent heeling over too far - crazy how different a monohull is to my catamaran! Leg two on Sunday 🏴☠️🇬🇩
Grabbed a ball in True Blue Bay to have a place to receive some parts in the mail. Need to fix our water maker and the windlass has started to do some weird things!
WE MADE IT TO CARRIACOU! The waves were confused for a large part of the trip but we made decent time. The animal crew were sleepy this morning, but they are excited for this new place!
As we continue our journey to south Grenada, it’s incredible to reflect on how far we’ve come. I have loved being on this adventure with my family and our animals, and I can’t wait to see what each day brings us! We spent the morning at the Zoo, and now we are at a beautiful new anchorage.
Arrived in Saint-Pierre, Martinique after a great day of sailing in high winds. The animal crew did wonderful today and we love having them with us 🐶🐱🐱started the day with a chocolate croissant and now to settle in for sundowners with the family ⛵️
Quick pit stop to hide from two squalls then on to our anchorage for the night
Overnight sail to Guadeloupe from Sint Maarten! In the middle of the night something fouled out starboard engine and we were unable to use it. Made it safely and inspected that was in there - big palm fronds and a ton of line. Happy it was not something worse!
Long and rocky trip, but we made it to Sint Maarten!
Sailed upwind to a place where we can anchor instead of use a boaty ball.
Beautiful sail around on this gorgeous day! Practiced our boat maneuvering and enjoyed the peace of no engines ☀️here’s hoping this mooring doesn’t hit our hull all night 🙏
Last day in the USVIs 🇺🇸
