Cruising Our Way Down Belize
We had one of the most frustrating AND breathtaking beginnings in Belize. We had just spent three and a half days on passage from Cuba to Belize, and sadly, less than 12 hours of that had enough wind to fill a sail.
A Journey from France to the Bahamas
Crossing the Atlantic Ocean under sail is the dream of many sailors, and my recent voyage from France to the Bahamas was an adventure filled with challenges, camaraderie, and the sheer beauty of open water sailing.
