Our 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 to the Mediterranean and sailed as far east as Croatia and Greece in 2023.
We returned to our winter marina in Sicily in April 2024 and followed the Mediterranean coastlines of Italy, France, and Spain before sailing to the Canary Islands. We expect to cross the Atlantic Ocean to the Caribbean in December and enjoy one final winter in the Virgin Islands and The Bahamas. After 8 years of this amazing adventure, we plan to sell Gémeaux and become landlubbers in California.
