365 days I crewed on sailboats from San Diego, USA all the way down to Panama, stopping in Mexico and Costa Rica. After Panama crossing the Pacific Ocean to New Zealand stopping at islands like the Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia, Tonga and Fiji
45 days I traveled through New Zealand from the Northernmost point to the Southernmost point, then
100 days I traveled by motorbike through Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, then
365 days I traveled in my self-built campervan from Kyrgyzstan to Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, then
365 days I traveled with this van through Iran and Pakistan, then
180 days I built an off-grid log cabin in the woods in Spain, then
180 days I restored an old sailboat in Guatemala, then
365 days I traveled with this sailboat from Guatemala to Honduras, Cuba, Jamaica, Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Grenada and more islands in the East Caribbean
Currently I am #sailing, we're in the #trinidadandtobago doing #hurricaneberyl

    It doesn't matter if you've been together for one year or ten years. Life can always change. And finding a woman who loves all this is probably the best thing that can happen. So yes, I would, too. In fact, I have also done that with my wife (who is Brazilian). But remember, she will not get a Dutch passport directly anyway, so it just improves the situation a bit. Believe me, I know what it means from my own experience ;)

Gotta be a better system that's consistent throughout the area. What beautiful smiles you both had seeing each other. You two are doing what we dreamed of 35 years ago and never did. We are looking at sailing again in retirement. Safe sailing , keep the heavy side down, but not too far down.

    It's fantastic that you managed to avoid the hurricane, and it's even more wonderful, as a cruiser, that you're not in Grenada right now. They need all the resources they can get, and while cruisers might think they're helping, they're really not-unless, of course, you're a doctor. But hey, I'm thrilled you're both having a great time in Trinidad.

    Sorry to hear that you had all of the difficulty with the immigration officer while trying to get Daniela into the country. Next time try handing the immigration officer a couple of $20 bills and I bet this will make things easier. 🙂Pleased to see that Daniela arrived without anymore immigration issues and thankful that your hurricane experience was safe although a rolley one. Thanks for sharing.
