Making our way up north | Antigua bound ⛵

We checked out of Grenada officially. This is the flattest day in the Caribbean. So where are we at? Antigua baby. Is it Antigua or Antigua? We bought an old abandoned catamaran, spent two years rebuilding her and embarked on a 7 000 mile journey across the Atlantic Ocean to our dream cruising grounds, the beautiful Caribbean. Subscribe below and follow the adventure as we explore our way up the Caribbean chain of islands to the beautiful Bahamas. After picking up Wade and Glenn it was time to check out of Grenada. What are we doing? Checking out. Where are we going? To paradise. Where are we going Wadey? Sailing. Yeah but where? What's our next destination? Montenegro. Montenegro. We checked out of Grenada officially and are on our way to Montenegro. How does it feel to be leaving Grenada? Feels good. Not the best weather to go north but it's it's a gap so we're going. It's a better gap so we take it. Yeah it's better than last season that's for sure. I don't want to play tac-tac. We hopefully in 24 hours or 28 hours we'll be in Martinique. 150 miles. A little bit of a choppiness today but nothing too bad so we're just gonna motor up to head on winds so we'll just be swamming we can't sail upwind so we'll just motor all the way most likely but we're excited to leave and go see things and islands that we haven't seen before. As you know our last season got cut short because we had to go to South Africa but yeah we back in action.

This is the flattest day in the Caribbean. It's freaking unreal. Beautiful two and a half thousand meter deep water and just calm, calm, calm. Very nice 10-15 knots headwind but not bad at all. Motor sailing doing six, six and a half knots. The sun had set so it was time to organize our night watches and enjoy the calm the night time Big yawn. Where do you go to sleep? I'm gonna do until midnight, one in the morning. So how many hours shift is that? I'll do from six until midnight and then I should be nice and tired and the first person can take over from midnight to three and the second one. The best part about sailing with the full moon is that it lights up the ocean and all its beauty. So it is day two and we're just passing Saint Lucia and passing the Pitons. About roughly six hours till we get to Martinique so I'm really excited. Buns and baguettes and cheese. Brie and camembert to your brie and camembert cheese. Ricky put our little shading over the top, the sun's been beating us. How's your trip been so far? Very good, well now it's very hot. It was such a calm day with absolutely no wind as we passed the Pitons so we switched off the engines and hopped in the water to cool us off from the scorching sun. Still got your lips and paper in the trash now. I never knew love could be so sweet. I never knew it would sting. I never knew love like this would leave me in pieces. So we're approaching Martinique soon. He's making himself a little poof chair. He already tried it and he fell. Let's see, round two. It's supposed to be, you're supposed to lie in it. Oh babes. That last stretch felt so grueling but we'd arrived in Martinique. So we finally arrived in Martinique and we're on our way to find some food. There's a lot of stuff we've shown you before. I think there's a restaurant here to the right, I don't remember. Most stuff looks close. We'll go explore and see what we can find. We decided to rent a car to show Glenn and Wade some of Martinique and while we were in Martinique we went to go say hi to Alex, Mandy and Leifi from See the Little Things. I didn't do much filming since we have done Martinique before so you can check out those videos in the playlist linked above. So we've rented our trusty Clio and we're going road tripping around the island. We're only going to be here for a couple days so we might as well thought to get a car to see most of the land-based stuff and then when we sail we'll do a lot of the water activities and the fun diving spots. So yeah we're just hanging out and enjoying Martinique. I remember why we loved it so much the first time. What does this board tell us, Wadey? French. Lots of French. It says magma so it could be like an overflow of magma or something. It was time to leave Martinique and head to Antigua. So after a quick fuel and a little exploration we are heading off to Antigua. We've done Martinique and we have a good weather window so we opted to head straight to Antigua and go explore some new places for both of us and Glenn and Wade. We're gonna put up our genoa and head up to Antigua. And we're running motors as well. It was a calm motor sail up to Antigua and we managed to spot some pilot whales too. Hello my fellow friends. Wade you're so stupid. In case you guys don't remember we were there a while ago. We had to fly back to South Africa for documentation for the US but we were in Martinique right over there. That's where we were. That's where we were moored for a while and then Ricky flew back and picked up the boat and head off to Saint Lucia to pick me up. So yeah technically I want to say this point right now is the furthest north we've been. So I'm super excited to go see the rest of the Caribbean. Super super excited. One night watch later and we were on our way into Antigua. It goes down and then it goes on the ground. You need to put your fins on. Is it far? Yeah Ricky can't even pass my fins in this. Where are they yeah? Yeah. What happened? Lots of zigzags. Is it? Yeah. So you see the chain? What does the bottom look like? Sand? Sand and the low bottom. Like muddish. But it's good. It's good holding because I felt it holding on. So where are we at? Antigua baby. Is it Antigua or Antigua? Antigua. Got a monster tarp in here hanging out. Let's go see Antigua. We were off to explore some of Antigua and headed off to Nelson's Dockyard to visit the bakery. Check how beautiful that is. Construction of the modern naval dockyard began in the 1740s and in 1889 the Royal Navy abandoned the dockyard and it fell into decay. Society of Friends of English Harbour began restoration of the dockyard in 1951 and a decade later it was opened to the public. What did you get from the bakery? I got a apple turnover. After our bakery visit it was time to go see some of the super yachts up Following day we rented a car to explore the island. So we rented a car and we're exploring the island a little bit here. Got a little Toyota automatic. Nice. Because I have a big face. So far I'm really liking this little island. So we just got to one of our friend's spots. Van, you're the man. Van is the man. Dude you gotta share this view with people. I know Van, seriously. Oh my soul. Oh my soul. That's so nice. Van, where's the bride dude? Oh it's beautiful. If we bring Lady Africa here we can keep an island. It's not very sheltered here though. This is stunning. Thanks so much to Van for letting us use his house to swim and do some washing. So we've come here to Devil's Bridge National Park. It was a limestone arch that the the waves blow onto and has they have little holes that gusts into kind of thing. So we're just exploring this little area before we head off to our next adventures while our laundry is busy drying. Laundry day. Laundry day but adventure day too. I like Antigua. Super nice. Next week on Lady Africa we explore more of Antigua, do some diving and I guess some gymnastics. Hope you guys have a great week ahead and remember happiness is a way of travel not a destination.
