Always plan for the unexpected 😝 - Patreon Update 18.05.2024

Hey lovely peeps,

We have sailed down to Georgetown in the Exumas to extend our visa for the Bahamas.

3 months just went by waaay too quick. There are so many amazing places here, we could stay for years and still, we wouldn't have been able to see them all.

We hoped to stay for one more month and then planned to head down...

On a secluded little Beach

On a secluded little Beach

When you live on a boat for a while, sticking to a conventional calendar becomes a little tricky.

Onboard, I meticulously keep an eye on the weather. But the wind and clouds don't usually follow a weekly pattern.

So in sight that I am rather late with last week's post, I am uploading a few more shots today. πŸ’™β›΅

Wishing yo...

Hey lovely peeps!

We do not want to alarm you but the reason we have been a little late with our video is that recently things have been rather tumultuous.

As I am writing this, Kiki's condition has been slowly improving.

He had been feeling unwell since we left Aruba and we suspected a bad case of Gastritis. For that ...

Unapologetically me

Unapologetically me

I'm unapologetically loving to be a naturalist!

It is this feeling of just being im the moment. Literally letting my hair down, dropping all worries, simply being there.
Nothing more thing less.

And with that, I just want to share some of that happiness I felt in that moment with you.

This is our latest sailboat story! From all of our sailing videos in the Caribbean, this one, is probably the most exiting one, yet. I didn't grow up here, but Capt. Kik did. So today I am the underwater girl exploring a shipwreck that is over a century old. Awesome!!

Gettin' salty in The Bahamas

Gettin' salty in The Bahamas

While I absolutely enjoy it, at the same time it eludes me just how sparsely many of the islands are populated.

Miles and miles, and not a soul in sight.

Just sky, sea, sand and salt!

Perfect places to get lost in thoughts of playing Robinson Crusoe all day.

Wishing you all a day-dreamy weekend 😊

I've been let down 😞

Hey lovely peeps!

For the past couple of months, I have been mostly uploading and checking my posts here via the Patreon app on my phone. My laptop had been acting up and let's be honest, it is so much easier to be spontaneous on the go.

Only today I noticed that some of the recent pictures I uploaded via my phone are of low quality...

Living freely

Living freely

Even in the Bahamas, it is possible to find completely deserted places still.
Where you can completely immerse yourself in nature.

As for this place, it's a lagoon that stretches as far as the eye can see.
At low tide, most of the area becomes a shallow that barely reaches your ankles.

For as long as I can remember, I dream...

Almost back on track!

Unfortunately, my plans for this weeks post have been a little messed up with a minor injury.

But luckily it is nothing serious and after some rest I am feeling much better.

So, don't worry I will not leave you waiting for much longer for the next picture post 😊😊

Our arrival in Bimini was a little different than expected with the wind doing a complete 360 in less than 24 hours and we could not find protection from the west winds. 😬

So we rode out the bad weather in the...

Playing with shadow and light

Playing with shadow and light

You probably noticed my passion for nature and the outdoors.

I am the kind of person you would find gazing at the reflection on the water. Completely absorbed by the ever-changing play of the light.

The way a single cloud could paint different accents on the canvas before my eyes.
It is something that, for a moment, makes me f...

But there is no rest for the wicket, with our VISA expiring and very few weather windows opening up we grabbed the opportunity to cast the lines.
