The day started early for me today. Since our free rum party/WresleMania adventures Friday night I’ve been on the DL nursing a bruised liver. So after a solid 10 hour sleep 2 nights in a row, I was recharged and fired up. All morning I watched the armada of multi-million dollar machines parade through the [...]

Giant race boats abound, maxis, TP-52s, crazy French trimarans and cats, and boats that just look like fast cruising/racing sailing machines.

We’re still finding time to skate. Once arriving in Montsarrat we soon found this little gem we called Tetanus Skatepark. A wrecked barge of gnarled, twisted, rusted steel that moves a little with the swell. I’m pretty sure we were the first ones to sk8 there and it was pretty rough. It was quite [...]

With a bit of full moon fever last night, we took to the water to enjoy some artificial surf made possible by the red rocket.
Now that we’ve said our goodbyes and we’re ready to sail onward, I can unwind. Leaving St. Maarten is hard after all the great times [...]

I just cleared customs, checked out and officially removed Mystic (thanks for all your help and enthusiasm) from our crew list and added the our new boat crew “Brent” Dizzy Madden to the boat roster. The new Commonwealth boys are a breath of fresh air and super hard workers. Dizzy is on [...]

After finishing up some final touches on the Natural Mystic, we needed to get into clean water to make sure our water maker is running properly. After a month of being med-moored on the mellow, wind-blocked part of Port De Plaissance, we are finally free from the clutches of dockage. [...]
