Yesterday we saw Ty off to catch his plane to the great old USA via St. Thomas and the USVI. Since we can only get a 30 day visa here at a time and Ty took all his stuff with him, which amounted to 9 bags of surfboards, kites and crap we decided to [...]

After a good breakfast, we piled in the Red Rocket towards Eustacia beach. Lars had discovered the sail he rigged , flew and ripped in the morning was too much for the winds out by the reef, so he opted to spectate the carnage that would soon ensue.

The wind continues to blow here every day as it has before man ever walked on this part of the earth. Nonstop trades and fun people make the islands here a true water playground. More of the same today, the rash is a little better after sitting it out a day and hopefully [...]

Well, we made it out of the boat yard and Natural Mystic is better than new and working like a champion. With her help we were able to anchor right on the inside of the wave at Cane Garden Bay and score some super fun overhead surf for two days. With uncrowded conditions [...]
