One year on a sailboat! This blog is mainly for family and friends who wish to follow our adventures while we are away, but it will also act as a logbook for myself. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I hope you'll enjoy it!
We made it!! First day of driving was way too long for what it was, mostly because there was a huge line to cross the boarder and just to make it worst, it was something like 95F in the car, no AC. Thank you Grand-maman Ginette for the toy fans!!! They saved all of our lives. Once on US soil, we had to go through "interrogation " because our story was kinda unusual I guess. 😉 Obviously they believed it because we made to the other side!! Yesterday, the kids got to see the boat for the first time. That was exciting, even for us. We were super happy when Rolianne was launched in the water. AND when the engine started smoothly to get to our slip. 😁 We’re home!!!! We spent the rest of the day sorting things out and finalizing the little modifications that were still to be done on the boat. Same thing for this morning. Fun fact: On both days, we had to drop everything we were doing to head to the beach, because it’s freaking hot down here!!!...
Well well well... 10 months earlier, I was writing my first post on this blog, talking about why we made the decision to quit everything for a year on a sailboat. Two weeks ago, we were leaving Rolianne behind in Fort Pierce, heading for a surprise stop at Universal Studios! It was a perfect day to celebrate the sale, and it was even more perfect as there were no long line ups to do all the fun rides!! We all had our favorite, and I got to say that I even enjoyed meeting Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Megatron. 😁 The Diagon Alley of Harry Potter was also a big hit for everyone, with its fire-breathing dragon, Ollivander's Wand Shop, The leaky Cauldron, etc. The only disapointment: we ordered a beer and ended up with a butterbeer. 😂 We then started our long trip back North, starting with Savannah, which I really wanted to visit. Walking on these historic streets and visiting a civic rights history museum made our morning before heading to Raleigh for the night....
While waiting for a couple of days in Staniel Cay, we checked out all the hot spots. We started with Pig beach, which I didn’t like at all. So many people! So many hungry pigs! They all start running towards your boat as soon as you beach it to get all the carrots. We didn’t bring any, but there are so many people going there that carrots are floating all around you, so why bother. Then there are the really mean ones, the ones that bite people’s asses (for real!!!) if they don’t give them what they want. Never turn your back on a pig... My personal favorite: Thunderball grotto! At low tide, you can snorkel into a cave with tons of fishes at the bottom. We saw a lion fish, so the kids were able to know what not to approach. 😉 Sam liked hanging out at the Yatch Club, while the kids just wanted to pet the nurse sharks at the dock. Once Sam’s parents arrived at Black Point, we were stocked to find an anchorage right infront of their rental place. Location was ...
