11 May 2012 | Terre Le Haut, Les Saintes, Guadeloupe
We had come to anchor off the beach in Carlisle Bay, Barbados mid-afternoon on Monday, the 30th of April after a sixteen-day passage from Natal, Brazil. The bay is a small indentation in the southwestern corner of the island, a few miles south of the capitol, Bridgetown. The anchorage provides little [...]

We had arrived in Natal on Wednesday afternoon, the 11th of April and anchored off the yacht club. Since we were rather inconspicuous among the comings and goings of anchored boats in front of the yacht club's marina, we remained onboard the remainder of the day, relaxing, napping, sleeping.

11 April 2012 | Natal, Brazil
We had been frustrated during our four days in Rio de Janeiro attempting to clear-in. We were tired of being passed from office to office, back-and-forth across the harbor in mid-30ยบ temperatures. On Friday afternoon, the 23rd of March, on the brink of a weekend that would grind the already-stagnant [...]

23 March 2012 | Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
We had found no charm in the geography, the culture nor the people of Piriapolis, Uruguay. It is a beach resort and everything is overpriced. The marina facilities are basic, many of the staff are rude and we felt an air of contempt for foreigners; all this for the most expensive moorage fees we had [...]

10 March 2012 | Piriapolis, Uruguay
We had arrived in Piriapolis a little before 0900 on Friday the 2nd of March and secured alongside the haul-out finger. We were met immediately by two Prefectura officials, who took our data and welcomed us to Uruguay. They told us to report to the Aduana, Migracion and Prefectura offices in the next [...]

05 March 2012 | Piriapolis, Uruguay
We paused in Stanley and luxuriated in a wonderful little haven of First World quiet, polite, organized and predictable society. Except for our two trips back home to Vancouver, this was our first taste of sedately civilized society since we entered Latin America in November 2009. This is not to say [...]

22 February 2012 | Stanley, Falklands
We had arrived in the Falklands through a violent storm with sustained Force 10 and 11 winds and gusts into Force 12. At 0340 on Monday the 13th of February we came to anchor in Stanley Harbour and we went below and slept until nearly noon. Midday it was still blowing a gale in the harbour, so I called [...]

16 February 2012 | Stanley, Falklands
On Thursday morning, the 9th of February, the gribs had shown a system with 45 and 50 knot winds building northwest of the Falklands midday on Sunday and then moving southeast to about where we would be with an early Friday departure. I quickly examined the gribs, the tides and our options, and we decided [...]

09 February 2012 | Puerto Williams, Chile
On Friday the 3rd of February we had returned to Puerto Williams from Cape Horn in rapidly deteriorating weather. It was blowing above 25 knots when we secured sixth out in a raft off Micalvi. Through the evening and on the following morning several more boats came in to fill to overflowing the available [...]

05 February 2012 | Cabo de Hornos, Chile
On Tuesday, the last day of January we were issued a zarpe from Puerto Williams to Cabo de Hornos, for departure early on Wednesday morning, the 1st of February. There appeared to be a weather window opening on Thursday morning and slamming shut on Friday afternoon. We had decided to head out in Wednesday's [...]
