Our sailing blog. A little of this and that as we are cruising the Caribbean islands aboard our CAL 34 sail boat. Comments on various subjects on the liveaboard cruising lifestyle such as destinations, anchorages, pets, wifi and internet access, sailing / boating tips, restaurants, marine services, business services, yacht charters, general day to day life...
American Tortoise Rescue, a nonprofit organization established in 1990 for the protection of all species of tortoise and turtle, is sponsoring its 17th annual World Turtle Day® on May 23. The day was created as an annual observance to help people celebrate and protect turtles and tortoises and their disappearing habitats around the world.
We have been getting many inquiries concerning our post from many years ago that had information about the RVG windvane. The files were on a website that we took down.
We know how difficult it can be to find stuff on the internet so I have uploaded the files to another website to help out our fellow cruisers...
As the good Doctor says, "Allons-y !"

I've noticed that there are quite a few postings on the web looking for information about the RVG self steering gear / windvane.
We have info in jpg files and pdfs. The jpg files are smaller but look and see which best fits your needs.
Can't believe 8 months have passed since Hurricane Irma.
Hurricane Irma hit the Virgin Islands on September 7, 2017. It pretty much had no affect on us in St Croix compared to the VIs to our north. We up anchored and ventured over to Salt River to ride out Irma which was good preparation for Hurricane Maria which struck the night of September 19-20, 2017.
Wow! sums it up pretty good.
Hurricane Maria was #10 in the top ten list of most intense hurricanes ever.
The official beginning of 2018 H-season is only 24 days away.
Here's a YouTube video that was posted yesterday by News Of St John
Prepare early and check on those folks that are around you.
