I had indeed sailed to Dominica; in the wee hours of the next morning in a hazy sleep, I heard roosters off on shore. I was so confused. Where the heck was I? What was going on?! Oh yes. I remember, I sailed Acedia to Dominica and was anchored out in St Rupurt Bay, Portsmouth. […]

It was the previous evening into the night where she exclaimed she was seasick. Giving her opportunity for rest and time to adjust, Joe and I had taken night watches. It was […]

It was just before Christmas when Gaia and I were trying to determine an appropriate weather window for saying farewell to Bermuda and heading down to the Caribbean.
