Category: Caribbean

Caribbean includes blog posts from the West Indies and Haiti, though we briefly touched down in Jamaica. We spent seven years in the western Caribbean. Each country has a different flavor, and it’s definitely not vanilla.

Welcome to Becoming A Sailor. I've written more than 250 posts about our travels on our St Francis 50 catamaran. We have been sailing since 2015, and our four kids have grown up on our sailboat. This is not a sailing log. Instead, it's an immersive record of a life afloat. I write to recreate the moment, whether we're standing on a volcano or cleaning our boat bottom.
