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.

Bimini










We have made it... we have reached Bimini. Sailing over has been easy, as there was no wind we had to motor most of the way. The weather was beautiful and calm and so no one got sick and we all enjoyed the weather, the ocean and the time together.

When we finally reached Bimini, we were blown away by the beauty and colour of the water. We had the feeling we sailed into a huge big swimming pool. The water was so clear and blue that we could see the ground. Beautiful ....... and actually it is very hard to find any other words for the beauty that this part of the world offers......


Bimini is an interesting little island. In the 50 and 60ties it must have been buzzing little place, at present it looks more like everyone left in a hurry and left everything they had started in an instaleaving everything behind.... very interesting and we are curious what has happened here.

We only wanted to stay for a few days, but the wind forces us to stay in the Marina for 10 days. This gave us enough time to explore the island id details. We go snorkeling for Conch, we visit the Dolphin House, the library and the Museum, we ride around the Island with our Dinghy, we explore the beach and discover an old wrack along the beach, we visit South Bimini and follow the Native Trail, we hire a golf cart and ride around North Bimini.... for such a little Island there is much to see and to do.
