Caribbean April 2016

We had been in the Caribbean for over a week and had been cruising up the Martinique coast thinking “WOW!!!!!!” when we visited the site of my downfall.

Our dream was to sail across the Atlantic Ocean to the Caribbean. Although I had already crossed the Atlantic Ocean twice before, this would be the first time as an adult and skipper (a big responsibility!).

When we left the Cape Verde to cross the Atlantic I felt that we had finally succeeded in our dream. We had talked, planned, discussed, argued and eventually agreed about going to the Caribbean, and now we were actually leaving.
