Our Third Month in Grenada
The highlight of our third month in Grenada was a much-anticipated visit from Grandma (Brandon’s mom). Before her arrival, we left the marina and returned to a mooring ball. We caught up on boat chores and did some extra schoolwork so that we could enjoy every minute with her.
Our Second Month in Grenada
During our first month in Grenada, we hadn’t ventured far from the capital city, St. George’s, so we took Green Man up on his offer to show us around the island. He spent several days driving us around and sharing the country’s culture and history with us.
Our First Month in Grenada
Grenada, also known as the Isle of Spice, produces more than 20% of the worlds nutmeg as well as cinnamon, cocoa, vanilla, mace and ginger. We’re really enjoying the endless supply of fresh and inexpensive fruit, vegetables, and fish.
Martinique
When we arrived in St. Pierre, Martinique, we put up our yellow quarantine flag and took our dinghy to the town dock. It was a small town, so customs and immigrations were just a computer in the back of a little restaurant.
Products We Recommend
Living on a boat has allowed us to escape consumerism and to realize that our happiness doesn’t depend on material possessions. We really had to step away from American culture to learn just how rewarding it is to live minimally and how much time and money we had wasted shopping, buying, storing, and caring for a lifetime’s worth of stockpiled belongings.
That doesn’t mean we don’t buy things. It means we only buy useful, necessary items. There is no room on a small boat for unreliable junk, nick-knacks, or useless gadgets. So here are the products we use every day and trust to hold up to the rigors of life at sea.
Upcoming Destinations

It's hard to believe a country with 83 tropical islands, 9 active volcanoes, and dozens of indigenous tribes is one of the least visited on earth.
Australia
The kids are really looking forward to spending cyclone season with Kangaroos and Koalas.
New Zealand
With stunning landscapes and 10 times more sheep than people, we hope to spend at least a few weeks in this beautiful island nation.
