Windy and Wonderful - Antigua to Barbuda

Hi friends! We finally get smacked by this storm we've been watching for a week and what a ride it is. From scrubbing bilges to full moon parties on deck, the storm was largely uneventful. After the blow, we rent a car and check out the island - and the most fun party at Shirley's Heights! After that we jump a ferry to Barbuda the beautiful!

Bumper boats in Dominica!

Heyo! This week is no stranger to the roller coaster of living on the water. We have such an amazing experience in Dominica, get SMASHED by a house of a boat in the middle of the night, scooter around the saints of Guadeloupe, have one of the best sails of the season, and now prepare for a nasty blow in Antingua.

Dominica - Beautiful on the inside and out

Dominica is UNREAL! For real, it is. We get thrown right into the activities of Portsmouth at the Cruisers BBQ and meet an amazing couple - Lea and Marc - and spend some quality time exploring the island. From hot waterfalls to beautiful red rocks, Chocolate factories to getting invited over for coconut water drinks with some locals. Dominica has a big part of our heart <3

Peaks to Parties: Navigating Martinique to Dominica's Carnival Extravaganza

Y’all are the best! Thank you for joining us for another week as we explore Martinique and head to Dominica and experience CARNIVAL!!! From hiking volcanos to sporty sails to new islands, this episode is jam packed with loads of fun. Thank you for coming along for the journey.

We've gone French! (or at least Travis has) - Martinique

Ahoy there! This week on Sommer Wind, we've got boat guests adding a splash of excitement to our New Year celebrations with both new and old friends. Our adventure down the beach takes an unexpected turn as our new friends come to the rescue from dengue fever. We have a lot of anchorage shuffling, a close call with a tarantula, and the discovery of the world's most AMAZING kebab. Oh, and Travis learns just how French he wishes he was! Thanks for joining our nautical escapades! ⚓🎉

Christmas in the Caribbean! Celebrating in St Lucia and Martinique

Welcome to our holiday adventure! This week was an absolute delight as we explored the stunning landscapes of St. Lucia. We hopped into our rental car and embarked on an adventure to Sugar Beach, indulging in the scenic views and local culture. Embracing the holiday season, we hosted a Christmas party, and danced the night away at the Gros Islet Street Party in Rodney Bay. Our celebrations continued as we set sail to Martinique, where we savored an array of foreign dishes in the company of newfound friends and sang karaoke, making this Christmas one for the books! 🎉🎄🌟

The Real Pirates of The CARIBBEAN! - Exploring Bequia, St. Vincent and St.Lucia

Welcome back! This week, our exploration takes us to mainland St. Vincent—an absolutely breathtaking island where Pirates of the Caribbean was filmed! We check out Moonhole and have a fun night experiencing the floating bar and a game night on Sommer Wind, which resulted in a slight deviation from our original plan as we missed our departure date from Bequia. However, we quickly adapted and chose to embark on an adventurous climb up Ma'Peggy before setting sail for the beautiful island of St. Lucia!

Soggy Sheets and Salty Seas: Tobago Cays, Mayreau, and Bequia

Hello everyone and welcome back!! In our ongoing nautical journey, this week we enjoy the delights of Tobago Cays, our favorite anchorage in the Caribbean. Moving onward, our voyage led us to Mayreau, where we learn the impact of cruise ships on local communities. Our passage to Bequia was wet and wild! Complete with DOLPHINS, squalls, and a soaked bed. Upon arriving, we endured a rolly anchorage, had a beach BBQ, and found the elusive “Cinnamon Garden.”

"Uhh.... I Think We Just Lost Our Transmission"

We are on the move and have had such an exciting week! I know we say that A LOT but we’re being for REAL this time. The adventures unfurled as we departed Tyrell Bay, reminding us how quickly we can forget the basics. We spend some time at Sandy Island – one of the Eastern Caribbean’s most picturesque anchorages. We hop over to Petite St. Vincent and explore Mopion and Petite Martinique. Chaos unfolds having multiple mechanical and technical issues heading into Union. Then we finally make it to Tobago Cays – personally, my favorite anchorage in the WHOLE Caribbean.

From Roaming Roaches to Thanksgiving Feasts

Y'all are too kind for joining us again! This week we catch you up on our fridge and toilet journey. Along with filling you in on our Thanksgiving week. We have a lot of up's - KITTENS, hiking to the top of the island, Thanksgiving dinner, and the street party. And some downs- hairball to the passenger, dead scooter, our dinghy goes adrift, and cockroaches! Grab a drink and settle in for an exciting week 4 conversation.
