Live Update: OctoMads Giveaway! May 17, 2023 (Patreon)

Hi Guys!

We made it to Bequia! We had a little electrical hiccup about an hour into the sail yesterday but got it figured out, and it was smooth sailing from there. We got in around 10:30 am, checked in, and treated ourselves to a pizza in town ;) We've been craving one for a while!

This past week in Barbados was all about getting the boat ready to go. We did some provisioning at PriceSmart, essentially the Costco of the Caribbean. There are a few locations around the Caribbean, including one in Aruba. They had much better prices on meat and poultry than the local markets. Many people have told us things would not get cheaper around the Caribbean, so we were fortunate to have this option and stock up for the next few months. Plus, it was fun to see some Kirkland items, Costco brand for those who don't know ;), scattered in the aisles.

I'm excited to share a piece of our trip with you all with the OctoMads giveaway! A little refresher for those who may not remember: I crocheted the OctoMads on our Atlantic crossing. It was one of many projects that kept me busy during the passage :) If you want the chance to bring one home, comment "OctoMads" to this update. We have four to give away and we will reveal the winners in next week's live update. I might have a few little treats we've picked up on our travels to go along with the OctoMads ;)

Thanks again to everyone who participated in last week's survey and for your support! We are looking forward to sharing our time here in St. Vincent and the Grenadines with you :) 

OctoMads :)

Mads cooling down in the water after we checked in. He's pretty much in the water 80% of the day to stay cool ;)
