If you're visiting Saint Martin / Sint Maarten, these are experiences you won't want to miss! We hop on a local bus to the Dutch side and head to the world-famous Maho Beach, where massive jets fly just overhead before landing at Princess Juliana Airport. Seeing these giant planes pass only a few meters above the beach is every bit as impressive as people say! Back aboard Wildly Intrepid, we sail north to beautiful Grand Case on the French side just in time for the famous Mardis de Grand Case. The streets come alive with music, dancers, colorful carnival costumes, local food vendors, and an incredible Caribbean atmosphere. The adventure continues underwater as we snorkel around Rocher Créole, one of Saint Martin's top snorkeling spots, surrounded by tropical fish and vibrant marine life. We take advantage of Saint Martin's reputation as a sailor's paradise and stock up at the island's many marine stores, adding more solar power to keep our cruising adventures going. Join us as we explore both the French and Dutch sides of one of the Caribbean's most unique island! ⛵ Follow our family's journey as we sail the Caribbean on a budget with our two young kids, Coral and Kai. 👍 Like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell so you don't miss our next adventure! #SaintMartin #SintMaarten #CaribbeanSailing #wildlyintrepid #MahoBeach #PrincessJulianaAirport #GrandCase #MardisDeGrandCase #RocherCreole #Snorkeling #Caribbean #CaribbeanTravel #IslandLife #SailingLife #SailingFamily #CruisingLife #BoatLife #Liveaboard #FamilyAdventure #TravelVlog #WildlyIntrepidSailing #FrenchCaribbean #DutchCaribbean #MarineStore #SolarPower #SailingTheCaribbean 🤍 SUPPORT THE CHANNEL If you’d like to help keep these videos coming: 👉 Patreon (monthly support) https://www.patreon.com/WildlyIntrepid 👉 One-time contribution (PayPal) https://www.paypal.me/wildlyintrepid 👉 Grab some merch https://teespring.com/en-GB/stores/wildly-intrepid 👉 Amazon Wish List (gear we need) https://www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/ls/2GTH6AGVPH4LP?ref_=wl_share 🔔 JOIN THE INTREPID TRIBE Subscribe and follow along: https://www.youtube.com/c/WildlyIntrepid?sub_confirmation=1 📲 FOLLOW OUR ADVENTURES Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/wildlyintrepid/ Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/wildlyintrepid/ 🛠️ GEAR & DISCOUNTS (Affiliate Links) Using these links supports us at no extra cost to you 🙌 ⚓ Defender Marine https://defender.pxf.io/xL9D9v 🔋 SOK Batteries https://www.us.sokbattery.com/?ref=zS7whJNCsEGFPu ❄️ BougeRV (32% OFF) Code: Wildly https://bit.ly/3ZYruez 🔋 UNOWIX Batteries (10% OFF) Code: UNOWIX10 https://unowix.com/unowix-defender-x100.html#aff22 Amazon (USA): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5Q84XQW?ref=myi_title_dp 🏴‍☠️ Vagabond Heart (stickers & patches) https://vagabondheart.co?sca_ref=2994343.Oj9OO9JP2Z 📚 BOOKS BY US "Hikes of Western Newfoundland" → https://amzn.to/33NphoR "Hikes of Newfoundland" → https://amzn.to/39WtjPR 🎶 Music: Epidemic Sound

After exploring beautiful St. John in the US Virgin Islands, it's time to check out of Cruz Bay and set sail for a long overnight passage to the island of Saint Martin! The crossing keeps us busy as the fishing lines come alive and we land multiple tuna along the way. After arriving in Marigot on the French side of the island, we're quickly reminded why so many cruisers love Saint Martin. Fresh baguettes from the bakery, affordable wine and cheese, waterfront happy hours, and a relaxed European atmosphere make it feel completely different from anywhere else in the Caribbean. We climb up to historic Fort Louis for an unforgettable sunset overlooking the bay, join the floating boat party known as Floatchella, and make a provisioning run to the Dutch side of the island where we discover one of the best-stocked grocery stores we've seen in the Caribbean. Join us as we experience the unique blend of French and Dutch culture that makes Saint Martin and St Marteen wonderful cruising destinations in the Caribbean! ⚓ Subscribe and follow our family's sailing adventure as we continue chasing endless summer through the Caribbean. #sailinglife #SailingLife #WildlyIntrepid #SaintMartin #StMartin #Marigot #CaribbeanSailing #FamilySailing #Liveaboard #CruisingLife #SailboatLife #OvernightSail #TunaFishing #FishingLife #FrenchCaribbean #Floatchella #FortLouis #IslandLife #TravelFamily #AdventureTravel #BoatLife #USVI #StJohnUSVI #CaribbeanLife #SailingChannel 🤍 SUPPORT THE CHANNEL If you’d like to help keep these videos coming: 👉 Patreon (monthly support) https://www.patreon.com/WildlyIntrepid 👉 One-time contribution (PayPal) https://www.paypal.me/wildlyintrepid 👉 Grab some merch https://teespring.com/en-GB/stores/wildly-intrepid 👉 Amazon Wish List (gear we need) https://www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/ls/2GTH6AGVPH4LP?ref_=wl_share 🔔 JOIN THE INTREPID TRIBE Subscribe and follow along: https://www.youtube.com/c/WildlyIntrepid?sub_confirmation=1 📲 FOLLOW OUR ADVENTURES Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/wildlyintrepid/ Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/wildlyintrepid/ 🛠️ GEAR & DISCOUNTS (Affiliate Links) Using these links supports us at no extra cost to you 🙌 ⚓ Defender Marine https://defender.pxf.io/xL9D9v 🔋 SOK Batteries https://www.us.sokbattery.com/?ref=zS7whJNCsEGFPu ❄️ BougeRV (32% OFF) Code: Wildly https://bit.ly/3ZYruez 🔋 UNOWIX Batteries (10% OFF) Code: UNOWIX10 https://unowix.com/unowix-defender-x100.html#aff22 Amazon (USA): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5Q84XQW?ref=myi_title_dp 🏴‍☠️ Vagabond Heart (stickers & patches) https://vagabondheart.co?sca_ref=2994343.Oj9OO9JP2Z 📚 BOOKS BY US "Hikes of Western Newfoundland" → https://amzn.to/33NphoR "Hikes of Newfoundland" → https://amzn.to/39WtjPR 🎶 Music: Epidemic Sound

This week aboard SV Wildly Intrepid we continue exploring the stunning island of Saint John! We sail from beautiful Waterlemon Bay to the world famous Trunk Bay with its crystal clear turquoise water and perfect white sand beach. A tropical rain shower clears the crowds and leaves us almost alone in paradise before we head to Cinnamon Bay for more beach adventures… and even run into a wild donkey! By evening we anchor in stunning Maho Bay where the adventures keep coming. We hike up to the incredible America Hill Great House Ruins, explore the Maria Hope Trail, paddleboard, wingfoil, and watch Coral and Kai become real little hikers. To finish it all off, we sail into Cruz Bay to celebrate Cory’s birthday with ice cream at Mongoose Junction, painkillers at The Beach Bar, burgers and fries, and birthday cake back onboard SV Wildly Intrepid.

This week aboard SV Wildly Intrepid we explore what might be the most beautiful island we’ve visited all season… 🌴🇻🇮 Sailing the US Virgin Islands with our buddy boat, we explore St John Island and hike the incredible trail from Francis Bay while discovering the crystal clear waters of Francis Bay and Maho Beach. Then we sail over to Waterlemon Bay for snorkeling around Waterlemon Cay — but the water was WAY colder than expected! To warm up we head ashore to explore the historic Annaberg Plantation ruins and learn about the island’s powerful and heartbreaking past. We finish the adventure with a hike up to the Windy Hill Great House ruins where the panoramic views over the US and British Virgin Islands absolutely blew us away. St John has officially become one of our favorite islands in the Caribbean. ⛵ Thanks for following our family sailing adventure! 👍 Like the video, leave a comment and subscribe to join our Intrepid Tribe! 📍Locations featured: Francis Bay Maho Beach Waterlemon Bay Waterlemon Cay Annaberg Plantation Windy Hill Great House Ruins #sailing #usvi #stjohn #caribbeansailing #sailboatlife #familytravel #StJohn #USVI #VirginIslands #Sailing #SailingLife #FamilySailing #Liveaboard #CruisingLife #SailboatLife #Caribbean #CaribbeanLife #TravelVlog #IslandLife #Snorkeling #WaterlemonCay #MahoBay #FrancisBay #AnnabergPlantation #BoatLife #WildlyIntrepid 🤍 SUPPORT THE CHANNEL If you’d like to help keep these videos coming: 👉 Patreon (monthly support) https://www.patreon.com/WildlyIntrepid 👉 One-time contribution (PayPal) https://www.paypal.me/wildlyintrepid 👉 Grab some merch https://teespring.com/en-GB/stores/wildly-intrepid 👉 Amazon Wish List (gear we need) https://www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/ls/2GTH6AGVPH4LP?ref_=wl_share 🔔 JOIN THE INTREPID TRIBE Subscribe and follow along: https://www.youtube.com/c/WildlyIntrepid?sub_confirmation=1 📲 FOLLOW OUR ADVENTURES Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/wildlyintrepid/ Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/wildlyintrepid/ 🛠️ GEAR & DISCOUNTS (Affiliate Links) Using these links supports us at no extra cost to you 🙌 ⚓ Defender Marine https://defender.pxf.io/xL9D9v 🔋 SOK Batteries https://www.us.sokbattery.com/?ref=zS7whJNCsEGFPu ❄️ BougeRV (32% OFF) Code: Wildly https://bit.ly/3ZYruez 🔋 UNOWIX Batteries (10% OFF) Code: UNOWIX10 https://unowix.com/unowix-defender-x100.html#aff22 Amazon (USA): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5Q84XQW?ref=myi_title_dp 🏴‍☠️ Vagabond Heart (stickers & patches) https://vagabondheart.co?sca_ref=2994343.Oj9OO9JP2Z 📚 BOOKS BY US "Hikes of Western Newfoundland" → https://amzn.to/33NphoR "Hikes of Newfoundland" → https://amzn.to/39WtjPR 🎶 Music: Epidemic Sound

🌴 Island hopping through the USVI brought us from the busy streets of Charlotte Amalie on St. Thomas to the wild beauty of St. John… and what an adventure it turned into. We wandered the steep chaotic roads of Charlotte Amalie (definitely not the most pedestrian-friendly place 😅), got rescued with a ride from a local, and made our way up to the incredible views at Drake’s Seat with turquoise bays below and the viewpoint of the town. After more exploring through town, we cooled off with pool time and drinks overlooking the harbour near the legendary Blackbeard's Castle — pirate vibes included. 🏴‍☠️ Then it was time to sail over to Saint John and the contrast was unreal. Less cruise ships and traffic… more mountains, wilderness, beaches and untouched Caribbean beauty. To top it all off, I tried wingfoiling for the very first time… and let’s just say there was a lot more crashing than flying 😂 #Sailing #SailingLife #USVI #StThomas #SaintJohn #CharlotteAmalie #BlackbeardsCastle #DrakesSeat #CaribbeanLife #IslandHopping #FamilySailing #Liveaboard #BoatLife #CruisingLife #SailingAdventure #WingFoil #WingFoiling #CatamaranLife #TravelFamily #WildlyIntrepid #SailboatLife #AdventureTravel #CaribbeanAdventure #Cruisers #SailingFamily 🤍 SUPPORT THE CHANNEL If you’d like to help keep these videos coming: 👉 Patreon (monthly support) https://www.patreon.com/WildlyIntrepid 👉 One-time contribution (PayPal) https://www.paypal.me/wildlyintrepid 👉 Grab some merch https://teespring.com/en-GB/stores/wildly-intrepid 👉 Amazon Wish List (gear we need) https://www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/ls/2GTH6AGVPH4LP?ref_=wl_share 🔔 JOIN THE INTREPID TRIBE Subscribe and follow along: https://www.youtube.com/c/WildlyIntrepid?sub_confirmation=1 📲 FOLLOW OUR ADVENTURES Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/wildlyintrepid/ Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/wildlyintrepid/ 🛠️ GEAR & DISCOUNTS (Affiliate Links) Using these links supports us at no extra cost to you 🙌 ⚓ Defender Marine https://defender.pxf.io/xL9D9v 🔋 SOK Batteries https://www.us.sokbattery.com/?ref=zS7whJNCsEGFPu ❄️ BougeRV (32% OFF) Code: Wildly https://bit.ly/3ZYruez 🔋 UNOWIX Batteries (10% OFF) Code: UNOWIX10 https://unowix.com/unowix-defender-x100.html#aff22 Amazon (USA): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5Q84XQW?ref=myi_title_dp 🏴‍☠️ Vagabond Heart (stickers & patches) https://vagabondheart.co?sca_ref=2994343.Oj9OO9JP2Z 📚 BOOKS BY US "Hikes of Western Newfoundland" → https://amzn.to/33NphoR "Hikes of Newfoundland" → https://amzn.to/39WtjPR 🎶 Music: Epidemic Sound

Our sail from Puerto Rico to the US Virgin Islands started off absolutely perfect… warm winds, beautiful seas, and another unforgettable Caribbean passage aboard SV Wildly Intrepid. But once we arrived in St. Thomas, things got interesting fast. We explored the abandoned tunnels of Fort Segarra on Water Island, tucked deep inside a hidden military bunker overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Then we escaped strong easterly winds in the crowded anchorage of Christmas Cove before sailing into the heart of Charlotte Amalie — one of the most historic and pirate-filled towns in the Caribbean. From riding local dollar safari buses to climbing up to Blackbeard’s Castle for incredible harbour views, this island had so much character. But one hike turned into a total disaster when we ended up bushwhacking through sharp thorns in the blazing heat… definitely not the adventure we planned. This episode is packed with beautiful sailing, Caribbean history, hidden tunnels, local culture, unexpected chaos, and real life aboard our sailboat with two little kids. ⛵ New episodes every week aboard SV Wildly Intrepid ❤️ Subscribe and join our Intrepid Tribe! #Sailing #USVI #StThomas #SailingLife #Caribbean #BoatLife #Liveaboard #FamilySailing #Sailboat #CruisingLife #AdventureTravel #ChristmasCove #WaterIsland #BlackbeardsCastle #CharlotteAmalie #PuertoRico #IslandLife #TravelVlog #WildlyIntrepid #SailingChannel 🤍 SUPPORT THE CHANNEL If you’d like to help keep these videos coming: 👉 Patreon (monthly support) https://www.patreon.com/WildlyIntrepid 👉 One-time contribution (PayPal) https://www.paypal.me/wildlyintrepid 👉 Grab some merch https://teespring.com/en-GB/stores/wildly-intrepid 👉 Amazon Wish List (gear we need) https://www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/ls/2GTH6AGVPH4LP?ref_=wl_share 🔔 JOIN THE INTREPID TRIBE Subscribe and follow along: https://www.youtube.com/c/WildlyIntrepid?sub_confirmation=1 📲 FOLLOW OUR ADVENTURES Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/wildlyintrepid/ Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/wildlyintrepid/ 🛠️ GEAR & DISCOUNTS (Affiliate Links) Using these links supports us at no extra cost to you 🙌 ⚓ Defender Marine https://defender.pxf.io/xL9D9v 🔋 SOK Batteries https://www.us.sokbattery.com/?ref=zS7whJNCsEGFPu ❄️ BougeRV (32% OFF) Code: Wildly https://bit.ly/3ZYruez 🔋 UNOWIX Batteries (10% OFF) Code: UNOWIX10 https://unowix.com/unowix-defender-x100.html#aff22 Amazon (USA): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5Q84XQW?ref=myi_title_dp 🏴‍☠️ Vagabond Heart (stickers & patches) https://vagabondheart.co?sca_ref=2994343.Oj9OO9JP2Z 📚 BOOKS BY US "Hikes of Western Newfoundland" → https://amzn.to/33NphoR "Hikes of Newfoundland" → https://amzn.to/39WtjPR 🎶 Music: Epidemic Sound

What started as a simple sail turned into a full-on emergency… As we left Vieques, a hose clamp suddenly snapped—dumping all our engine coolant in seconds. With no engine and two little ones onboard, we had no choice but to drop anchor fast and figure things out. From there, we sail on to Culebra—one of the cutest islands in Puerto Rico. We explore the famous Playa Flamenco, treat ourselves to some well-earned ice cream, take in the views, and tackle the never-ending cruiser chore… laundry. Next stop: Fajardo. A full-on mission to reprovision the boat before our next big sail to the US Virgin Islands.

Not every stop is planned… and sometimes those are the best ones. We dropped anchor in Puerto Patillas, Puerto Rico and were blown away. A peaceful anchorage, a waterfront park with a playground (perfect for homeschooling days), live music, and even iguanas roaming around—it quickly became one of those unexpected favorites. But the real goal? Vieques Island. After a rolly night in Esperanza, we moved to the calm anchorage of Puerto Ferro—and that’s when the adventure really began. A long dinghy ride in the dark brought us to Mosquito Bay, the brightest bioluminescent bay in the world… and it did NOT disappoint. Every movement lit up the water in glowing blue. One of the most surreal experiences we’ve ever had. We wrapped it up exploring Puerto Ferro—hiking, paddleboarding through mangroves, and even spotting baby spotted eagle rays. This is why we chose this life. 👉 Subscribe to join our Intrepid Tribe! #SailingLife #FamilySailing #CaribbeanSailing #PuertoRico #Vieques #Bioluminescence #MosquitoBay #BoatLife #LiveaboardLife #SailingWithKids #CruisingFamily #HomeschoolLife #SailboatLife #AdventureFamily #IslandLife #DigitalNomadFamily #OceanLife #TravelFamily #PuertoPatillas #EsperanzaVieques #WildlyIntrepid 🤍 SUPPORT THE CHANNEL If you’d like to help keep these videos coming: 👉 Patreon (monthly support) https://www.patreon.com/WildlyIntrepid 👉 One-time contribution (PayPal) https://www.paypal.me/wildlyintrepid 👉 Grab some merch https://teespring.com/en-GB/stores/wildly-intrepid 🔔 JOIN THE INTREPID TRIBE Subscribe and follow along: https://www.youtube.com/c/WildlyIntrepid?sub_confirmation=1 📲 FOLLOW OUR ADVENTURES Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/wildlyintrepid/ Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/wildlyintrepid/ 🛠️ GEAR & DISCOUNTS (Affiliate Links) Using these links supports us at no extra cost to you 🙌 ⚓ Defender Marine https://defender.pxf.io/xL9D9v 🔋 SOK Batteries https://www.us.sokbattery.com/?ref=zS7whJNCsEGFPu ❄️ BougeRV (32% OFF) Code: Wildly https://bit.ly/3ZYruez 🔋 UNOWIX Batteries (10% OFF) Code: UNOWIX10 https://unowix.com/unowix-defender-x100.html#aff22 Amazon (USA): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5Q84XQW?ref=myi_title_dp 🏴‍☠️ Vagabond Heart (stickers & patches) https://vagabondheart.co?sca_ref=2994343.Oj9OO9JP2Z 📚 BOOKS BY US "Hikes of Western Newfoundland" → https://amzn.to/33NphoR "Hikes of Newfoundland" → https://amzn.to/39WtjPR 🎶 Music: Epidemic Sound

Not every sailing day goes to plan… and this one REALLY didn’t 😅 We kick things off with a beautiful, calm sail past Cabo Rojo Lighthouse—one of the most stunning coastlines in Puerto Rico. But from there… things start to unravel. We anchor in La Parguera hoping to experience the famous bioluminescent bay… but it’s a total fail. Next stop, Ponce, for a much-needed resupply—but we tried to take a short cut to the store which involves one of our sketchiest dinghy rides yet, battling waves crashing as we enter the creek 😬 (fail #2). Hoping to turn things around, we sail to Caja de los Muertos (Coffin Island)—a stunning island with crystal-clear water. But even here, our hike to the lighthouse turns into another fail thanks to a brutal cactus-covered trail 🌵 Thankfully, not everything goes wrong… we find some incredible snorkeling and wrap things up sailing into Salinas. This is real sailing life—plans change, things go sideways, but the adventure never stops. 👍 Enjoy the video?

After months of life in Luperón, Dominican Republic, it was finally time to move on… and take on one of the Caribbean’s most notorious crossings — the Mona Passage. We set sail for Puerto Rico on a 47-hour, 245 nautical mile passage, pushing through a double overnight sail with little sleep and sea sickness, and light wind. Landfall didn’t exactly go as planned… Our first stop in Rincón turned into a rolly anchorage, forcing us to keep moving. We pushed further south to Boquerón — and finally found what we needed: ✔️ Calm waters ✔️ A real night of sleep ✔️ A stunning beach and vibrant town From there, things got a lot more fun — paddleboarding in strong winds and even wing foiling. This is real sailing life — long passages, tough decisions, and the sweet reward when you finally drop anchor somewhere good. ⛵️ Welcome to Puerto Rico. 👍 Enjoy the video?

This one tested us 😅 We took on the steep and slippery climb up Isabel de Torres in Puerto Plata—and it was no joke. Muddy trails, sketchy footing, and a serious leg burn… but the view at the top made every step worth it. Sitting above the city with a mini botanical garden and that iconic statue, it’s one of the most rewarding hikes we’ve done in the Dominican Republic. We made it down just before sunset and headed into historic downtown Puerto Plata for dinner, soaking in the colorful streets as well as umbrellas and local vibes. Back in Luperón, the adventure didn’t stop. We explored Playa Chiquita with unique wooden sculptures, and hiked out to a hidden blowhole and coastal cliffs—one of those wild, off-the-beaten-path spots we love.

Boat life isn’t always turquoise water and smooth sailing… sometimes it’s project after project 😅 In this episode, we tackle a long list of upgrades and repairs—finishing our epoxy countertop, varnishing the fridge top and installing a new gasket, making new dinghy cushions, repairing our headsail, cleaning the heat exchanger, and even bringing our water pump in to get fixed. But it’s not all work. We take breaks to enjoy life in Luperón—horseback riding along Playa Grande, swimming at Playa Chiquita, exploring local restaurants, and celebrating Christmas with friends 🎄 And the best surprise? Our buddy boat finally shows up in Luperón, making it all feel a little more like home. This is real cruising life—the balance between hard work and unforgettable moments. #SailingLife #BoatProjects #SailboatLife #CruisingLife #Liveaboard #BoatWork #Luperon #DominicanRepublic #SailingFamily #LifeAtSea #BoatMaintenance #EpoxyCountertop #BoatRepairs #DinghyLife #ChristmasAbroad #TravelFamily #SailingAdventure #LiveaboardLife #WildlyIntrepid ***************************************** SUPPORT OUR VIDEOS ON PATREON https://www.patreon.com/WildlyIntrepid MAKE A ONE TIME CONTRIBUTION https://www.paypal.me/wildlyintrepid WILDLY INTREPID MERCH https://teespring.com/en-GB/stores/wildly-intrepid HELP us get what we NEED Amazon Wish List https://www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/ls/2GTH6AGVPH4LP?ref_=wl_share ***************************************** Subscribe to Join our Intrepid Tribe! https://www.youtube.com/c/WildlyIntrepid?sub_confirmation=1 ***************************************** FOR UPDATES https://www.facebook.com/wildlyintrepid/ https://www.instagram.com/wildlyintrepid/ ***************************************** Defender Marine It's a great place to get your marine supplies from plus we get a small kickback when you buy through our affiliate link. defender.pxf.io/xL9D9v Here is a link to purchase SOK batteries and help out the channel at the same time without costing you anything extra. https://www.us.sokbattery.com/?ref=zS7whJNCsEGFPu BougeRV FOR 32% OFF ON all ED series and CRD series fridge and battery CODE: Wildly Or use link：https://bit.ly/3ZYruez UNOWIX batteries use the Promo Code UNOWIX10 for an extra 10% discount.

After two months away visiting family in Canada, we finally return to our sailboat in Luperón, Dominican Republic. Leaving your boat unattended in the tropics is always a gamble, so we were relieved to find her looking surprisingly good when we arrived back. Of course, boat life means there’s always something to do. We start the process of bringing the boat back to life with a good clean and a few projects. One of the bigger ones in this episode is transforming our worn countertop by sanding it down and creating a beach-inspired epoxy finish. Coral and Kai are entertaining each others a lot more which makes it all easier. But life in Luperón isn’t just about boat work. This cruiser town has a unique community vibe. We enjoy local restaurants, movie nights with other sailors, and shopping for fresh local food around town. It feels good to be back aboard and settling into Caribbean cruising life again.

After months in the Caribbean, we head back to Canada for some much-needed family time and a full taste of fall and winter. Our trip starts in La Beauce, where we spend time with Mamie surrounded by incredible fall colours. The kids soak up the crisp autumn air while we enjoy quiet family moments before winter arrives. Next we drive toward the Gatineau region to visit Nana. Along the way we explore beautiful hiking trails and make a stop at the incredible Parc Omega, where you can drive through the park safari-style and see animals up close from the car. Watching the wildlife wander right up to us was an unforgettable experience which Coral and Kai absolutely loved. But the biggest moment comes when winter finally arrives in La Beauce. At just two years old, Kai experiences snow for the very first time, true boat kid. From sledding and snow angels to riding a Ski-Doo and warming up around a campfire in the snow, it’s the full Canadian winter experience. After months of sailing in the tropics, trading palm trees for snowbanks made for some unforgettable family memories. Filmed Fall 2025.

Before leaving the Dominican Republic for two months, we squeezed in one last adventure. We visited a local farm owned by friends where the kids roamed free, petted cows and bulls, and even rode horses — the kind of simple, wild childhood moments we love about this life. Back on the sailboat, it was time for the not-so-glamorous side of cruising: prepping the boat to sit safely on a mooring ball while we fly back to Canada to visit family. Lines doubled, systems shut down, everything secured. One final beach day at Playa Grande… and then the long travel marathon begins: dinghy ride, taxi, two flights with a 2 and 3 year old, and one last car ride to Grandma’s house in Quebec. In less than 24 hours we go from Caribbean heat to crisp fall air, vibrant autumn colours, and apple picking with family. This lifestyle may be unconventional — but it gives our kids the best of both worlds. Thanks for coming along ❤️ — Wildly Intrepid Filmed Fall 2025.

We packed up in Luperón and hit the road for the mountains of Jarabacoa— trading ocean breezes for cool air and jungle-covered peaks. After a scenic drive through the Dominican countryside, we rented a house in Las Guázaras, perfectly tucked into the hills. From there, the adventure really began. With our 2 and 3 year old in tow, we tackled the steep and strenuous hike up Montaña El Mogote. It wasn’t easy — sharp climbs, and lots of toddler encouragement — but the panoramic views made every step worth it. We cooled off at Balneario Salto El Baiguate, absolutely stunning. A powerful waterfall, fresh mountain water, and that feeling of having a place almost entirely to ourselves. We also explored the town of Jarabacoa, wandered through Parque La Confluencia, and crossed the suspended bridge over the mighty Río Yaque del Norte — the longest river in the Dominican Republic. Mountains, waterfalls, family adventures, and unforgettable views — this is why Jarabacoa is known as the adventure capital of the DR. Filmed August 2025.

Life at anchor outside Luperón Harbour isn’t always calm… We’re making water with our watermaker, tackling boat projects (with Coral and Kai actually helping this time!), and enjoying cruiser life — from the New Amsterdam cruisers show to the kids playing in the central parque. We spend extra money to make sure our mooring ball is extra solid for hurricane season. Then Hurricane Erin, a Category 5 storm, passes nearby… and just when we think we’re in the clear, we’re jolted awake by sirens in the middle of the night. A massive catamaran in the harbour was struck by lightning — and fully engulfed in flames. Filmed August 2025.

We rent a car and head inland to explore a side of the Dominican Republic most cruisers never see. After hiking through cow pastures, hopping fences, and second-guessing every turn, we finally find Balneario La Batea — a hidden jungle waterfall that feels like our own private swimming hole. Back at the boat it’s the usual projects and fixes, but cruising life isn’t just work. We spend time with friends and the local expat community at Captain's Table, then set off on one more hike to a blow hole and mountain overlook… …and somehow end the day getting chased by bees. 🐝 Just another normal day living wildly off the beaten path. If you love raw sailing life, unexpected adventures, and the real behind-the-scenes of cruising, you’re in the right place.

After weeks of waiting, we finally leave Turks & Caicos—but not without nerves. The weather window wasn’t ideal, the seas were big, and a fast-moving thunderstorm had us pushing hard to stay ahead of it. The reward? Safe arrival in Luperón Harbour, Dominican Republic, just in time to settle in for hurricane season. Once the anchor is down, everything slows way down. We find our rhythm in Luperón—fresh local food, daily routines, new friendships, and tackling the never-ending list of boat projects that come with life aboard. From intense offshore sailing to peaceful anchorage life, this episode is a full reminder of why we chose this lifestyle in the first place. This is cruising life—uncertain weather, big decisions, hard days, and the calm that comes after. Filmed June 2025.

A smooth sail across the Turks and Caicos Bank quickly turns sporty as a squall hits while exiting the bank, we drop anchor at remote Big Sand Cay 🌊⛵️ The next day, we sail up to Cockburn Town on Grand Turk to officially check out of the country. From colorful island houses and wandering donkeys to quiet streets and beautiful coastal views, Grand Turk delivers classic Caribbean charm. We also snorkel the third largest barrier reef in the world—with mixed expectations and honest impressions 🐠🤿 After checking out, we sail back to Big Sand Cay where the adventure continues: spotting iguanas, playing in powerful waves, and enjoying a steep, wild beach that reminds us why we love life off the beaten path. From calm seas to squalls, quiet towns to empty cays—this is sailing life in Turks & Caicos.
