Nigel (James' Dad) visits us in Tahiti! He didn't manage to stay long enough for us to go sailing around but we managed to have a great week anyway.

It rained and rained and rained. Then it rained a bit more. It's not called rainy season without a reason! Thankfully my Mum brought with her some wonderful company and a bag full

We didn't expect to visit Easter Island, it's not really on the way and it has no viable anchorages. Not great for a sailing boat... When we arrived in Tahiti we found out

Arthur learns to ride a bike! Arthur had been desperate for a bike since seeing Keanu in Apataki ride his bike around. Once settled in Tahiti we realised it was probably the best

There isn't much to say here.... except, holy moly Manta Rays!

We made it to the Tuamotus!! In this video we explore the Northern part of Fakarava before heading south to it famous south pass. We litteraly flew from the Marquesas to Fakarava with

After leaving Fatu Hiva and the stunning bay of virgins we went up the coast of Tahuata to Hanamoenoa Bay. We managed to catch two big fish on the way but since we

I was excited to get to Carriacou and Grenada as I lived there for many years when I was a teenager. I was especially excited to get to show Chloe and the kids

The main reason we spent some time in Martinique was to have our bow thruster looked at. During the survey Olivier mentioned the bow thruster had not had a recall done. This is

We sailed down to Saint Kitts and were really disappointed to find out that there was no way to go on the sugar train unless you booked it through your cruise ship. Basically,

We left the BVI behind on our usual overnight sail. The reason for it is that it is nicer and easier for us to sail overnight when we need to go anywhere that

My Mum & Dad sailed from the UK to Antigua when I was little, just over Arthur's age. I spent a couple of years in Antigua and although my memories of it are

Somehow... I managed to totally skip this video! And it's the longest sail we've done! Without further adieu, here is the little film of our Atlantic Crossing:

We sail from Gomera (Canary Islands) to the Cape Verde Islands. This is our first long passage with two friends as crew helping us out and the prelude to the Atlantic crossing. Also,

Some new videos, finally. The next set of videos will cover crossing the Atlantic! Getting internet good enough for email, let alone upload videos is hard... so, once again, sorry for the delay.
