‘Twas all Honey Ryder’s fault! Well that’s our version and we’re sticking to it! On Saturday we all (Honey Ryder, Freebooter and OR) had an early supper on OR and the plan was to go and join in a ‘music’ evening ashore complete with Claire’s guitar, Tom’s bongos and Sabrina’s percussion instruments …. however, at […]
We have just registered ‘Vidal Short’ as the trademark name for the new salon we plan to open on our return to UK. Not content with mastering the skills of a marine engineer, James has now turned his hand to hairdressing! Until now, Claire has always managed to find someone ‘professional’ to trim her locks […]
It’s confirmed, Yamahaha hates swimming, can’t swim and never wants to try it again! In the middle of the wildest night of bullet blasting wind anchored in Chatham Bay (Union Island), Puddle decides to see if Yamahaha can swim. Although tied securely onto the back of Ocean Rainbow the wind managed to get underneath Puddle […]
Little had Puddle realised, but up until today she has been running around wearing the emperor's new clothes. Today she is respectable and fully clad in the smartest 'chaps' imagineable. We're delighted that we have finally been able to spend long enough in one place to actually get the chaps made - and […]
We had an amazing two day rally tour of St Vincent thanks to Steve’s rally driving skills. We drove to the end of the road on both the west and east coasts – the locals were really surprised to see us! – up mountain roads with crazy gradients and down the other side holding our breath […]
Cruisers are all 'weather junkies' and take every opportunity possible to download the latest GRIB files, weather predictions and anything related to weather in their area - here is evidence that it doesn't have to be a chore .... but the number of iPads in use definitely outnumbered the folk enjoying Happy Hour at the […]
Thank you for all your submissions, we have had lots of chuckles over the responses. For those who, like us, had never heard of a swale before – it is a depression in the ground that serves the purpose of reducing flooding. Although the ground is supposed to be boggy in the area, there was […]
Who would have thought it could possibly take 35 hours to sail 85 miles? James is never keen sailing to windward and this last trip is the reason why! We sailed whenever we could, we lolled around when the wind disappeared and swam off the back of the boat when it got too hot, we […]
We are so glad we have had the chance to return to Montserrat and ‘do the tour’. Although we had seen the lava flow and ash from a distance when we visited last March, nothing prepared us for the actual experience of walking through the volcanic ash and viewing the devastation caused by the volcano. […]
It’s been a while since we had a ‘donation to charity’ blog so for £15 to your favourite charity here it is, two for the price of one: i) what is the signpost trying to tell James? and ii) what is James trying to tell us? Unfortunately the crew and family of Freebooter […]
