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.

Happy New Year




Happy New Year to all our friends around the world!
Wishing you all the best for 2011







Today an enjoyable and wonderful year is going to end. We had lots of adventures and fun on our way cruising through the Caribbean. We decided to say goodbye to the Year 2010 here in Tortola, West End with some friends that we have made here in the harbor. In between us we have 7 children, 5 young ones and 2 teenagers, so that promised to be fun. In the morning Jonathan and Monet from the Catamaran “Calibra” came over and asked me if I would like to go grocery shopping with them in Road Town. They had hired a car for a couple of days and the car was due back today, so they wanted to take this opportunity to do some provisioning. Of course I take every opportunity to go shopping. Jonathan knew his way around town and without any problems we went to the supermarket, did our shopping and went back to Sopers Hole. By the time I came back my family was awake and we had breakfast and I started to prepare food for our potluck dinner. I had a salad in mind, we bought steak, a chicken curry and for dessert I planned to have chocolate mousse and a Key Lime Pie topped with Raspberry! It sounded Yummy to me! It took a couple of hours to get ready and then we enjoyed a lazy afternoon until it was time to go over to Jonathan and Monet’s Catamaran, they had the biggest space to share between us. Bob and Jamie from SV “Starry Night” and their children joined us for the evening. We had a quiet but wonderful night with delicious food to share. We noticed that the harbor was exceptional quiet for a New Years Eve, the only commotion came from the ferry dock, picking people up for the parties on Jost Van Dyke. Being with friends and sharing a meal is a wonderful way of seeing the old Year out and greeting the New Year. I am very happy and excited of what 2011 will have in mind for us.
