We have for several years dreamt of sailing from Norway to the Caribbean. We are now on our way in our little ship "Bonanza", and we'll keep you updated on this page.

Christmas in Bequia

It is christmas and we have celebrated together with scandinavian boats in Bequia in the Grenadines, 140 nm north of Trinidad. The 22nd, Halvor, Oyvind and Sandra arrived and the day after we sailed to Bequia. The wind and current were against us, so we had to start our engine to reach the christmas eve. The trip was very wet and all of our new crew got seasick and had to feed the crabs. Now everything is better and we enjoy lazy days here on this beautiful island. Chrismas eve we spend on the beach with barbeque and about hundres other scandinavian sailors. Many of them we have met before.

We will stay here for some more days and probably go to Tobago Cays for new years eve. Then we will return to Trinidad and haul out the boat the 6th of January for antifouling and some painting.

Merry christmas to everybody back home. And Jon, people are asking for you...
