Dinghy of the day

Would love to have one of these smaller sailing dinghies instead of our inflatable. Just a tad bit too big and bulky for Caos, maybe for our next boat? /T

Boat of the day - Drumbeat

This is one impressive yacht we ran across the other day in Le Marin, Martinique. S/Y Drumbeat, a luxurious superyacht produced by Alloy Yachts. The 174 ft ketch was constructed and launched in New Zeeland in 2002, according to the constructor's website, and has a total sail-area of 1139 m2/12.220 sq ft. Beautiful, isn't she? /T

Boat of the day

Luckily not ours...

We've collected so many photos of different, inspiring, interesting, special, odd boats in our memory cards from all the travels we've done around the world that I thought I could share some of them with you all every now and then. This specific one is one of those which breaks your heart when they appear in your direct surroundings. To brake a mast is something far more common than I thought as we see them everywhere and you know it could have happen to your boat, any boat. Especially terrifying and sad it is when you meet boats with a broken mast who just crossed the Atlantic ocean, just like we did. With that stormy ride we made our last days of the crossing, it could most definitely have been us arriving to the Caribbean in this very condition. These guys were in a way lucky as they were able to get to shore without assistance, we all know how bad it could have ended.  /Taru
