Stolen Hearts
None of us was prepared to have our hearts stolen. Our goal was to drop off donations for a local charity in Colombia. My goal was to capture images of the children and their mothers.

The first thing I noticed about Colombia were the mountains–peaks reaching straight up from the ocean beyond the clouds. How I’ve missed the mountains.

“OH SHIT!” Allen exclaimed just as I was dozing off beside him at the helm. I immediately snapped up and dittoed “OH SHIT!” The entire sail was rapidly settling into the sea.

We dress in our formal Gémeaux shirts since nobody onboard has the requisite roman numerals in their name to don a blue blazer. Our parade of boats enters in formation.

Always anxious to explore a remote corner of our natural world, our first stop is a tiny, flat desert island with a white sand beach, five huts, and a lighthouse.
Read MoreOur adventure began in 2016 when we discovered Gémeaux in St. Martin. We explored the Caribbean, Colombia, San Blas, and The Bahamas, as well as the eastern seaboard of the U.S. In 2022, we crossed the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea and sailed as far east as Croatia and Greece. We explored the coastlines of Italy, France and Spain in our final season and exited the Mediterranean late in 2024. We wrapped up the year with a 21-day crossing back across the Atlantic from the Canary Islands to the Caribbean.
Still enjoying memories of the Med, we are happy to be back in the turquoise waters of The Bahamas. We plan to sail back to the US in May and give someone else the pleasure of sailing on Gémeaux. Anybody want to buy a boat?! It has been an adventure of a lifetime but we "think" we're ready to return to land life in California.
