Since St. Vincent I have been traveling with a Norwegian ferry, a mailboat, a school boat and a couple of sail boats. It was when I first got to Grenada that I had to board another flight again to continue my journey down to Trinidad. Grenada has the reputation of being one of the most...Read More
At the lion fish barbeque in Carriacou I was so lucky to meet Anne-Laure and Amaury who were going to sail down to Grenada the next morning and let me hitch a ride with them. Compared to other boats I have been on, I must say that theirs, la Orana was the most relaxed which...Read More
On the way back from the Yasawas (outer) Island group I jumped off at the tiny South Sea Island in the Mamanucas (inner) islands. It was just a 30 minute ride from “mainland” Fiji and therefore also attractive to day trippers coming over. The reason for picking this island was that everything, except drinks, was...Read More
Arriving Airlie Beach at seven in the morning I had only an hour before the boat left, so I jumped into a taxi from the train station and made it just in time for my sailing trip. I had booked the British Defender, a boat accommodating as much as 30 people, but still being quite...Read More

On day two of our boat trip started with a two and a half hour drive from Bodu Veli (Veli meaning sand) to Kudi Boli (Boli meaning shell). This was the first time I got to join the crew for spear fishing. Together we caught lots of fish, all making fine dinners for us in...Read More
For the first leg of our journey, the crew had prepared some coconuts and snacks for us, so that we could sit and get to know each other on our two hour journey from Malé to “Bodu Veli”, the first of many sand bank islands we would visit on our trip. When getting there...Read More
6am I woke up by myself, having slept almost twelve hours. I got the sunrise all to myself since most of the others did not wake up before breakfast an hour later. The plan of the day was to start off with a bit of snorkeling around a shipwreck just a few minutes away from...Read More
At sunrise around 6.30 am the boat started moving so that everyone was up for a breakfast while sailing. On the program today was visiting Cayo Cantiles, a pretty big island where there were 4 locals living together with wild monkeys, flamingos and “hutias” which was a huge rat like animal that the locals ate,...Read More
We had reached Cayo Largo at 2am in the morning where everyone had woken up by the anchor being dropped, but had gone to sleep again until breakfast at 7am. That repeated itself throughout the journey, where people went early to bed and woke up right after sunrise between six and seven Being fully rested...Read More
After a four hour drive from Havana we reached Cienfuegos, a small harbour city in the South of Central Cuba. We got to do a stroll around in the city center, which was a UNESCO World Heritage Site well worth its status. We also stocked up on run and cigarette before heading to the marina...Read More
