We have been in the Cayman Islands for a few weeks now. On December 31, we arrived in the main town of Georgetown to check into the country. Since it was New Year´s Eve, and nearly the end of the working day, the staff was keen to check us in quickly and get out of […]

We have been in Cienfuegos for a while now. Spacegrazer is anchored just outside the marina. It´s lovely here. The bay is very sheltered, so no rolling around, and safe to jump off for a swim. The town is friendly and relaxed, much more so than Havana. The water is not super clean, but well […]

We have arrived in Cienfuegos after a long trip from Havana, around the western tip of Cuba. We made two stops along the way – one at Cabo San Antonio, the cape at the westernmost point of the island. The second stop we made at Maria la Gorda, just around the corner on the south […]

On our way from Havana to Cuba’s south coast, we are making a short stop in Maria la Gorda (fat Maria). It’s looking pretty relaxed here. Bianca Kindler

We’re in Cuba baby! Checked in and tied up in Hemingway Marina. Bianca Kindler

Antifouling and topsides – check. Max will paint the deck next week. New zincs. We took the swim platform off and fixed some fibreglass damage and replaced the motor on it. Took the prop strut off and sent off to the welder for reinforcing. It’s been like camping in your own home for the last […]

Today we went to the Wings, Wheels and Keels festival here in Virginia. As the name suggests, there would be planes, classic cars and boats on display. Beau, Kai and Zoë immediately spotted the kids area: bouncy castle, slide, a merry go round – they were all there! So we started at the bouncy castle, […]

Today we were reunited with 3 other kid boats that we have been sailing with! Our American friends on Mrs. Chippy were there. We have known them since November 2017. We met in Sicily, where we spent the winter together in the same marina. That was a fun time. 8 families, with a total of […]

We are in Washington DC! We were in the Chesapeake area, ready to get the boat lifted out of the water. But due to the uncertain path of hurricane Dorian, we changed our plans. The hurricane could have caused bad weather where we were: high winds and lots of rain. The yard owners warned us […]

Today we went to to The Bronx Zoo. It’s a beautiful zoo, very green and spacious. We got up early to make sure we had the whole day there. We saw the sea lions performing a show for their feeding time. The biggest male was very close to us. He is quite a star! Then […]

Today was the day. It was sunny. The sky was clear. It was a weekday. The perfect day to go up to the top of New York’s tallest building! One World Trade Center (also known as One WTC, 1 World Trade Center, 1 WTC, or Freedom Tower) is the main building of the rebuilt World […]

Today we met up with Carlijn in Downton Manhattan to take the ferry to Governor’s Island. The ferry ride was only 7 minutes, so we didn’t get seasick. A Leaky Boat Making it to the ferry had been quite an achievement that morning. We were just about to go, and already running late… Nowadays we […]

Today we walked across the Brooklyn Bridge! It was hot, busy, and Beau kept asking why we didn’t just take the subway… Despite all this, we still had fun! The bridge is so iconic and beautiful, and the views were awesome. When we arrived the Brooklyn end, we headed for DUMBO. Not the flying elephant, […]

Our third little road trip from New York city would take us to Bear Mountain. We liked the name, and it’s a nature reserve so we imagined ourselves really going into the wilderness. We were pretty disappointed when we arrived to the queue for the car park… There was staff everywhere directing cars to available […]

We have been living in a real house the past 4 days! We are staying in our friend Carlijn’s apartment this week. She is staying in a friend’s apartment not too far from us. So we are all on staycation. The last time we did not sleep onboard Spacegrazer was one and a half years […]

We have enjoyed some lazy days lately. It has been hot, and honestly, we are just too lazy to run around town every day. So we have had some days on the boat and some days in the park. In the mornings we usually do school, then go out in the afternoon. One day, our […]
