Live Update: OctoMads Winners!- May 23, 2023 (Patreon)

Hi Guys!

I hope everyone had a good week! When we left Bequia, we sailed just a bit south to a small Island, Petit Nevis. We met up with our friends Becka and Zach from SV Teulu. We met them in Plymouth last summer :) Petit Nevis was such a fascinating island. It was once a whaling station but has been closed since the early 90s. I'm excited for you all to see that video :)

We stayed anchored at Petit Nevis for two nights, then sailed 25 miles south to palm island. We met up with some friends on the island and then headed out after one night because it was a very rolly anchorage. 

That took us to Union Island, where we are now :) We grabbed a mooring ball south of the island and have been here since Saturday. We walked into Clifton the day we got in. Mads made a dog friend who walked with us the 3 miles into town. There were tons of stray dogs when we got to Clifton. However, they have a great animal rescue clinic that monitors all stray dogs. That was nice to see. 

The plan is to head to Tobago Cays tomorrow. We have been hearing so much about it. Lots of sea turtles and lots of sea stars!

But the moment everyone has been waiting for... the winners of the OctoMads :)

Got a red snapper from a local fisherman.

Who even descaled it for us! 

This is Ashton Lagoon. You can see in the photo below pilings from a failed marina project that was started and never finished by an Italian construction company. It pretty much killed the lagoon for over ten years. Luckily, a conservation group brought it back to life, and it is thriving today.
