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.

Weather Window is approaching



Unbelievable, we have been here in the Dominican Republic now for nearly 5 months….. Yeah … and it seems that we finally getting the weather window that we have been waiting for. It looks like we will be leaving the DR on Thursday to sail to the BVI’s.
The last couple of days we have been busy tidying and cleaning the boat. I have cleaned out our clothing cupboard and whatever we haven’t worn in the last year, had to leave the boat, because Carlos has grown like a mushroom most of his clothes went. Second time round on the swap market we made quite a bit of money again, which put a smile on all our faces. We are all going to treat ourselves to a big Ice Cream in Cabarete.
Julia and Carlos have been busy in the kitchen, they made the Ice Cream, the next day they made Pizza and today they made Lemon Cake. The whole family loves making cake and especially licking the bowl empty afterwards.
Sven and Carlos have finally assembled the anchor winch and are very proud of their result and so are Julia and I…..well done boys!
Now that the winch is finished and the boat is clean and tidy, we have decided to hire a car and go to Cabarete for a couple of days. I really wanted to see Cabarete before we go and so I am looking forward to our little adventure trip. Once we come back from the trip we do a final provisioning in Puerto Plata and then on Wednesday putting the sails back …… St. John here we come
