Our gennaker/cruising chute have graciously carried us over the ocean in lighter winds in a comfortable and non rolling fashion for the last few days. It is quite impressive thinking that this little piece of nylon of just a few kilos is able to carry our heavy (8,5 tons) ship in such a smooth and relatively fast ride.

We have by the way rediscovered how wonderful it is to actually have the time to just be and enjoy the moment without having millions of projects, schedules and appointments breathing down ones neck so we have decided to postpone our Panama Canal transit and the South Pacific tour until next season and instead we'll be staying around to discover the best of the Caribbean islands and Central American countries for at least the next 6-10 months. We're feeling much content with this decision for now and we are also looking much forward to reevaluate some of the interesting invitations and collaboration proposals we've received in the last couple of months concerning this mentioned area of the world.

Definitely on our must-visit-list besides all the beautiful Caribbean islands are: Mexico, Costa Rica, Jamaica, Honduras and more.

Consider the Caribbean Sea as our new home for 2011.
