Gustavia, St Barthelemy We motor sailed to Ile Fourche, a small island just north of St. Barth’s, and spent the night. We weren’t too impressed with the snorkeling, so we left the next day for Anse de Colombier, a beautiful cove on the north side of the St. Bart’s. This was a good choice because […]

Anguilla: Our Favorite Island – Today

Road Bay, Anugilla As has become the norm, we planned to go to one place and ended up somewhere else. This time it was Anguilla. The passage to St. Martin is into the trade winds and we left at midnight. Anguilla is roughly the same direction, but given it is a little south to the […]

US East coast to the British Virgin Islands After a great summer at home on the lake, visiting family and friends and collecting enough wine to restock the boat, we decided to head back to the Caribbean for the winter.

Back to Annapolis

With the increase in hurricane activity, we needed to get Berkeley East further North and out of harms way, so we decided to take her up to Annapolis for the rest of the summer. While this is a relatively short 4 to 5-day trip, the passage around Cape Hatteras always puts us on edge. The […]

Flying through the Gulf Stream

Flying through the Gulf Stream

Charleston, SC USA We’ve done it before – sailed up the East Coast from Florida to South Carolina — but riding the Gulf Stream north is always a thrill. The Gulf Stream is a warm, rapid current that originates in the Gulf of Mexico and flows northeastward along North America toward Newfoundland. While in the […]
