EGOI:
Yes!!! We are back! In our floating house Grain de Sable… And for me there were moments in the last years that to think of beeing back here togather and with the best present the life can offer you it was possible just in my best dreams. JURA, this is the name of the most important crew member- our almost 17 month old baby boy . He is… (I'm the father so for sure not objective…) THE BEST.. Now everything on board is different: We sail in total different way, the boat doesn't look the same (now is prepared for a non stop moving baby), our routine is no routine at all… It is not possible to program anything now for us!!! Jura is onboard:)... Everything is different with plenty plenty plusses and very little minuses. OF COURSE we are more tired but continue smiling and enjoying life afloat. So this season we started in Aruba. And at the moment we are still in Cayman Islands preparing to leave very soon to Honduras bay islands . On the way to Caymans we stopped and spend whole month sailing in the wild and wonderful Jamaica. The sailing was great- easterly winds and happy Genoa-Jib-Pole sail with Lithuanian grandparents on board giving us a very very BIG help! But we promise will try to write more about that soon ( baby on board means BABY on board...means BABY ON BOARD:). No time in other words:)

Have been in silent sooooo long! But as you see, here we are again. Back on our boat , back to sailing life, back back back.... Soon we will write about our past adventures and try to give an update of latest news ( very BIG news!:))) But for the moment we leave you here with our boat areal view which our friends from neighbour boat made few days ago. After sailing from Aruba to Jamaica now we are here at anchor in Governors Creek in Grand Cayman island. His name is BERT and it was supposed to be a tropical storm and pass over BONAIRE!!!! Murphy,s law!....Who could imagine that in the island which supposed to be hurricane free in the middle of JUNE tropical storm could come? We sailed south to hide from the storms....but it appears its safer there up than here.. Well at least for these days...because in reality, this what happened few days ago is really very rare. After 4 tiring days of sailing south from BVI we arrived to Bonaire. .It was fast, but windy, squally and very wet trip. WInds from the beam with the seas crashing directly to the side of the boat and inside the cockpit....But the worst was not that. Because of the waves we had to close all the hatches inside, so during the day it was authentic sauna down in.... Tropics are tropicks, and what can we do:) Poor Epo and Zika! They suffered that heat and waves too and were very brave going to toilet with such a movement! Luckily some flying fishes were coming to visit us at nights, so at least our cats could have fresh fish for dinner each night. Anyway all went well and our Grain with the 4 reefed sails on sailed faster than ever and
