Welcome on aboard SV/ JUCA

Our philosophy is to live in peace and harmony with each other and to have lots of fun doing it! We practice compassion and unconditional love and experience that there are no mistakes only stepping stones while we grow on our journey.



We have sold our house in August 2009 and moved from Mangawhai / New Zealand to Norfolk/Virginia to board our Sailing Vessel Juca in January 2010.



Juca is the name of our beautiful 60 foot Morgan, and the name is a creation of the first initials of our amazing inspiriations, Julia and Carlos.



I hope you all will enjoy reading our blog and following our travels around the Caribbean.

Saying good bey to River Bend Marina


Good morning, finally we are getting into the final stage of leaving River Bend Marina in Fort Lauderdale. The wooden floor is in and Sven has done a fantastic job on it. My varnish job just needs one more coat and what can I say it looks beautiful. The electric is getting its beauty job today and then we are also settled in this department. Our new water maker is a hit and will provide us with 200 gallons of water in an hour, this will ensure us that we will not run out water on longer sailing journeys or if we are staying longer on one of these beautiful islands to come.....
I am getting very excited and looking forward to our next stage of travelling. I cleaned and tidied the boat yesterday and started with our provisioning. The boat is covered with all kinds of food, body lotions, sun screen lotions and drinks for these lovely evenings out in the cockpit watching the sunrise.
On these pictures you can see Julia and Carlos in their classroom! Julia is having cooking lessons.... the end result was delicious and we all commented on how great her tomato sauce tasted. Julia was very proud of herself.
They both enjoy learning by doing and with our spanish classes we have added some more fun to it.

  1. I am so sad that you are leaving the states. But I am so happy to see a wonderful classroom. Just remember a classroom is any place your babies are learning! The more relaxed they are the better they will learn. Enjoy the islands and the sunrises and sunsets for me. And all the "natural" learning to come!
