Next move
Finally the package have arrived and we can continue with our travels. At one point it felt like we would never get away from Le Marin, Martinique, but luckily that wasn't the case. What is so amazing with this cruising lifestyle is that you are free (as long as you don't wait for necessary deliveries that is) to go wherever you wish, point your bow to whatever direction you feel like and choose whichever fantastic beach, anchorage or harbor in whatever country you'd like to bring yourself, your home and all your precious belongings. I don't know if you guys who doesn't sail can imagine this, but just the fact that you're having your complete wardrobe along with you on each of your travels is incredibly convenient. And your own bed, your own kitchen, your own everything is with you and makes your life comfortable, safe and secure - wherever in the world you might want to drop the hook.
The immense sense of freedom is definitely the best thing that we gave ourselves when we casted off from Barcelona for five months ago. Just like I earlier mentioned, there are a few times and periods when one miss things from the past, (especially when you find yourself locked up like we did in this last week) but that goes with every life change I assume. No matter how bored one can feel for a second or two every sixth week or so - there are still absolutely nothing, nothing which beats this life we have chosen as ours. The endless amount of possibilities we have when choosing how to and where to live each and every day, every second of our lives is the greatest of gifts we have given ourselves and each other.
So today we have tied up to the dock again to finalize some last details on the boat before we can change place, country and island again and move on up North through the Caribbean sea towards Antigua with a first stop in Les Saintes, Guadeloupe. We will be leaving Martinique tomorrow morning and I can't with words describe how much both me and Alex have been waiting for getting out to sail our dear Caos on the ocean again. And now when the new satellite device is back with us, we'll make sure to bring you all along with us on the tour.
