Live Update: May 2nd, 2023 (Patreon)

Hi Guys!

Wow, we can't believe two weeks have flown by since we got here! It's been non-stop for us but in a good way. We are really enjoying Barbados. We've gotten a tour around the island, checked out Bridgetown, spent a lot of time in Port St. Charles, and I (Ava) got my scuba certification! I'm already addicted and can't wait to go out for more dives! 

We are back in Bridgetown for a few days. Mads has his visa appointment at the embassy this week. That being said, hurricane season is coming up fast, and as we say in the video, we are still undecided. It is either North to the US, which has many benefits, including getting to meet many of you all :). Or south to Trinidad, where we can get some projects done and still be in the Caribbean and not worry about making the trek back south next season. If any of you have sailed to Trinidad or have any tips or suggestions for either heading North or South, we welcome them all right now! Lots of decisions on our minds right now!

Right now, we are just focusing on Mads visa appointment and swimming off the back of the boat with the turtles ;) Hard times 😜

See you guys for the next update! Looking forward to hearing your suggestions for hurricane season :)

The day after, we got in, dinghying into the marina to check in. I think you can tell from our faces how excited we were to get there!

Mads promptly cleaned off the solar panels ;)

Our first proper sundowners in the Caribbean with some anchorage neighbors :)

This was on our tour of the island on the west coast. Very different and a lot more rural than the east coast. 

Did a little crocheting on the beach. Not too shabby of a view :) Athena is in the background. 

We caught some Amber Fish...at the local fish market in Speighttown. 

On the second open-water dive of my PADI certification. We dove on three wrecks in Carlisle Bay. Saw a sting ray and TONS of fish!
