Live Update: February 1, 2024 (Patreon)

Hi Guys!

I'm back, which means the live updates are back :) I've missed you all!

Right now, we are in St. Lucia. It was an unexpected but welcomed stop after quite a rough passage leaving Trinidad. As I mentioned in the video, we are staying in this anchorage for an extra day to do some snorkeling and swimming because it's so beautiful. We can't but feel those mountains are the entrance to Jurassic Park ;)

We are heading to Martinique tomorrow morning to get our new outboard hopefully. We found a marine Yamaha dealer in Martinique with the outboard we wanted. However, the last time we spoke, he mentioned that they can not sell to a European pleasure vessel. We are trying to get confirmation of that right now. Then, we need to make a plan if that is the case.

Update on the update: we have heard back from the Yamaha dealer and they cannot sell an outboard to a European flagged vessel. So, we are currently looking for some US friends on a boat in Martinique who would like to act as a go between ;) if you know of anyone :)

Last, we are doing a new segment for Sail Life called Questions from the Nav Station! Where Mads will answer your submitted questions on all things DIY, Boat work, Cruising, or anything you are curious about :) You can submit your questions in the comments below, or you can submit them anonymously to the link below!

It feels so good to be back :)
