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.

Martinique

Its 4 o'clock in the morning and we are leaving for Martinique to find a safe harbour.......we made really good progress and where faster as expected. At 2 o'oclock we only had 11 miles to go as we came to the south end of Martinique. However as we came around the southside of Martinique the weather had turned really bad.....we tried to beat the weather as it was only 11 miles to go, but the wind blew against the current and the swell had turned into high mountaints..and it was not worth the risk....we had no choice but to turn around and we found a safe anchorage just a few miles back where we came from. Though we did not quite made to Le Marin in Martinique, but we found a safe anhcorage just a few miles before that. The little Bay where we are anchored to wait the weather out is called, Grande Anses d'Arlets. Its beautiful and quiet here and you would not think that there is shit weather out there. Now we are nicely tucked away from the bad weather.
