This 3-week journey took us nearly 600nm through 13 island-countries (i.e., Grenada, SVG, St. Lucia, Martinique, Dominica, Guadeloupe, St. Kitts, Antigua, Sint Maarten/St. Martin, Anguilla, BVI and USVI). It was also a unique chance for me to test myself and expand my own skills with some of the most extraordinary sailing days I've ever had as well as some that were more of a challenge. Looking forward to doing this route even slower next year!

We finally got back to SVG! We saw many old friends and made new friends too. Hard to believe it's been 3 years since the girls had been on Moksha, but it was a wonderful few weeks where we had Salt Whistle Bay to ourselves and took time to really enjoy Bequia. Now, if I could only get ahold of a copy of of Charles Brewer's book, Moonhole: The Rise and Fall of an Island Utopia. I've read parts of it at Maria's Café and it's a fascinating look into the history of one of Bequia's most unusual sites, but I can't find a copy!

After a 19-month Covid-hiatus, we made it back to Grenada. And, after a 2-day quarantine at La Luna, we took the opportunity to tour the main island with Cutty, fed the mona monkeys, and hiked to Mt. Carmel falls. Then, we sailed to Carriacou where we swam with Devil Rays and enjoyed the Paradise Beach Club. We also had incredible pizza at Nat's and spent a few nights at the lovely Le Phare Bleu and Port Louis marinas. Ready to move here!

Friendly pilot whales, adorable baby sea turtles, and incomparable sailing conditions were the highlights of this trip. And, while we stopped at some familiar spots, we took plenty of time to explore Bequia, including some new places like Tony Gibbons Beach, Friendship Bay (Battaglia), and Petit Nevis.

Larry, Todd, Melissa, Chloe, Blake, and little Blake
We had an amazing Thanksgiving dinner on Mayreau, enjoyed Larry's incredible cooking throughout the week, had a sting ray "disco party" in the Tobago Cays thanks to our underwater lights, and had an incredible lobster dinner with Tim on blissfully quiet Anse la Roche. We also made our own chocolate bars with Aaron at Tri-Island Chocolate, and I learned to fly our kite single-handed with RJ and Emeron.

Epic trip with the kids before they head off to college. We discovered a fantastic secret beach on Isle de Ronde, spent some time in Petite Martinique, and spotted tons of turtles in the Tobago Cays. But perhaps the most fun was spent just hanging out together, laughing a lot, and rendezvousing with Jon and RJ in Chatham Bay for an all-night party aboard Moksha.

We did it -- we took our parents sailing for the week!
It was terrific to share some of our favorite out-of-the-way places with our folks, especially since they had never been sailing before. And, we got to test fly "Big Blue" aka our gennaker! When do we go back?

Melissa, Todd, Chloe, Blake, and little Blake
This was an adventure. On the one hand, we enjoyed being chased by a pod of dolphins while passing the underwater volcano, Kick 'em Jenny, but we also had a bit of a stressful time when leaving Union Island. Many memories were made and some lessons were learned, but we always love exploring the Grenadines.

Riley, Skylar, Blake, and Chloe
Our first trip with all the kids was a huge success.
We loved the town of Hillsborough and discovered secluded Anse la Roche on Carriacou. We also enjoyed a scenic hike across Mayreau, explored the Carenage, and took a trip to the Seven Sisters Falls in northern Grenada.
Most important, we all had fun and laughed a lot.

Kiersten, Tommy, Melissa, and Todd
This was an amazing trip with good friends. Among other things, we spent time on tiny Mopion Island, explored deserted Petite Tabac, and discovered Chatham Bay. We caught plenty of fish, had a BBQ on the boat, and enjoyed terrific sailing conditions, averaging 9 knots between Carriacou and Grenada.
Oh, and Tommy sang for us!
July 23 to 29, 2018
The Delivery Run with RJ, and Jenna
Candidly, Moving Moksha from Tortola to Grenada was not that much fun. We traveled more than 500 nm in only 6 days. That said, we squeezed in some time for quick stops in St. Lucia, Bequia, Guadeloupe, and Martinique.
We left Moksha on the dock in her new home in Grenada.
