Fresh local coffee steaming from the french press signals the start of another day here in the Galapagos. P-Kiddy forces himself on me demanding his morning chow so I oblige. I look across the harbor at “Cannons” for signs of a swell and shake the morning funk off. The temperature here is just [...]

Never a dull moment in the day in the life of these four Sultans of Scrope. Our days are filled with peril, carnage and the occasional all day internet-a-thon. Our nights stretch into mornings as we swagger through hostel-hippies, traveling students and hip-shaking, merengue mamasitas. Cooling down after a rump-rubbing churn [...]

Hey there everyone. I just thought I’d let you all know that I added a “Photos” page to the blog so that you can see the photos we’ve posted in the past.
We’re in Bocas Del Toro making the most out of a small, but fun swell and sampling the culture in this unique place.

As the pale tones of twilight’s starry skies give way to a brilliant show
Another Caribbean morning is born.
Now I see this sliver moon disappear
Retreating from a radiant dawn
Blazing along
Running down this great frontier

This group of frothy adventurers was primed and amped for the Caribbean Sea so we set-off bright and early at noon Tuesday. Feeling [...]

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 [...]

Our furball companion has been real vocal since we arrived in Antigua. Since we are moored in Falmouth Harbor, he doesn’t have the luxury of getting off the boat whenever he fancies like in St. Maarten. Well, he’s been letting us know just how much that bothers him whenever we take off. So we [...]

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 [...]
