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.

Black sheeps are everywhere

So far we had a pretty good taste of St. Lucia, but today a bitter taste was added to it. Yesterday we saw a kayaks drifting past our JUCA, so we saved it and found out that it belonged to one of the local fishers. As it was pretty late we decided to return it the next day. Today Sven went to the beach and returned it to some locals that were swimming at the beach and they promised to return it to the owner. Half an hour later we saw a few kids coming towards our JUCA on that returned kayaka and we thought they just come to say thank you or just to have a noisy. We talked to them briefly and then went into the marina to do some shopping. In the meantime our friends from Sandy Dreams went pass our yacht and saw them on our JUCA. they quickly disappeared and when they were approached the declared that we had paid them to look after our Yacht while we are gone. Bullshit! When we got back from our shopping trip we got told what happened and went over to the beach and had a talk to the kids that this is an absolute no no! Unfortunately we had not checked if something went missing. When we got back to our Yacht we discovered that our snorkeling mask had gone walking as well as Julias Fin. Bastards!Sven went over there to retrieve our staff, but of course no one knew anything and even the police was not very helpful at all. We were really pissed off all evening and tried to let it go and not to let it get to us too much.....there are black sheeps everywhere that show no respect for other peoples property. This was our second time that we got boarded by strangers, but the first time that something got missing. We won't be worrying to much and will put it down as experience and our lesson to not leave anything lying around when we are not on the Yacht.
