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.

St.Lucia

Bathing in a waterfall on Tobago

Bonanza is now anchored in Vieux Fort in southern St.Lucia. A fishing village almost without other tourists and cruisers. The village is most charming with nice people and a beautiful windward beach where Hansi at the moment is taking kiting lessons.
Kari and Froystein has returned to Norway and Lars and Kristin Marie is expected onboard today. We have to admit that we actually anchored outside the wrong airport...but what are buses for?

The passage from St.Vincent was a rough one. Wind gusting up to 30 knots straight on our noses almost the whole time. The good news is that all windows and hatches are now totally waterproof!
To be honest we are a little disappointed about the Caribbean weather. It rains a lot and the wind and swells is not exactly providing comfortable cruising conditions. Seems like the raining season is still not over...But as long as the scenery is beautiful and the company is good we are not complaining.

Maybe you wonder about the roaches? Well, we only see dead ones! Our weapon seems to have conquered the little invaders.
