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.

Swimming Classroom

Lately we have been moving a lot and our opportunities to sit on the table to do our school have decreased, so I am always worried whether Julia and Carlos learn enough and if I do expose them to sufficient learning material. While I was watching them today doing their math and reading in the cockpit, I realised that they learn every day all day even though we might not be sitting on a chair and a table. How cool is it to have a cockpit as your classroom, and doing your homework while sailing between all these beautiful Islands. Learning is always apparent whether it is snorkel and swimming lessons, studying marine life, history, social study, knitting and sewing, languages, science, observing the weather, admiring the night sky and the stars, geography or shouting out your timetable into the wind as loud as you can or getting comfortable in the cockpit reading your chapter book. Looking at Julia and Carlos, they are at ease and enjoying their teaching style at the moment. So I have come to an agreement with my mind to be at ease as well .....no worries, everything will be ok ...... as long as we are having fun doing it.
