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.

Tortola - Nanny Cay

This morning we got up and decided to go to Nanny Cay. We had discovered that they were a Fisher Panda Dealer that might be able to help us with our generator. It took us only an hour to get to Nanny Cay, for a change the current and the wind were in our favour. Nanny Cay is just a little harbor with a nice sophisticated Marina. We stayed on the dock to get our information about the Fisher Panda Dealer, Julia and Carlos squeezed in a little splash into the water on a white sandy beach and I did some window shopping and filled us up with water. We had been very careful with the water and to our surprise we did not use that much water in the last couple of weeks, well done family Oltersdorf.......
The new part for our Generator will cost us round about $ 1000, Merry Christmas I always wished for a new Generator Computer Display for Christmas, never mind if that will give us the ability to make our own power so it has to be done……we order the part and have to make a decision where to stay for the next two days, as it takes that long for the part to arrive, luckily we will still get it done before the Christmas season starts. Staying in the Marina would cost us $ 120 per day, at the moment they charge us $ 10 per hour to dock there, so we decide to cross over to Peter Island – Little Harbour, accordingly to our GPS they have got great little anchorages where we can stay. A couple of hours later we anchor in blue water and before we settle for the night we go for a swim and snorkel, we liked it very much here. Sven even manages to Speer a parrot fish for dinner and collects a few conchs, yummy, what a treat for us after so many months of no fresh fish and conch.
