A Bahamian Wrap…Up
The longest I had lived anywhere was five years so it seems fitting to me that a place where I’ve spent the last three sailing seasons feels a little like home.

Dinghy Kismet
A dinghy is a critical piece of our household and everybody has a story about losing one. We were six miles from shore, seas were choppy, and the sun was bright. It would be a miracle to find the needle in this haystack of an ocean.

Hunt For The Hippocampus
I’ve been searching for an underwater critter since we began this journey. It lives in the sea but is a terrible swimmer. It’s considered a fish but doesn’t have scales, a stomach, or teeth. The female of the species is in charge…

I watched a webinar that featured a solution to chafing and creaking reefing lines by using a hook that grabs the clew of the sail and holds it without tension on the reefing line. Now how to get that on Gemeaux?

Where We’ve Been
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 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.
Where We’re Headed
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.
