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.

Whisper Cove Marina

Again and again I am surprised how fast time is running. Sunday nights I am planning for the week ahead and wondering how to entertain Julia and Carlos in class, what to cook for the family and how to arrange my “me” time in between. I start the week with a Yoga class underneath a beautiful big tree on the beach and before I know it, I am lying in shavasana for relaxation on a Sunday morning at the Laluna Yoga and Spa Resort. What has happened in between? Some days I really have difficulty to remember the individual days. This week we drove over to Clarks’ Court Bay with the dinghy to visit Julia’s and Carlo’s friends Luana. It did not take too long, but since we had to be out on the open ocean, we were a bit cautious about the weather and coming back. However we totally enjoyed our afternoon over there and caught up with a few other people as well. We chatted with Chris and Jackie from SV “HighHeeled” that are anchored over there, Marilyn and Ryan from SV “Sandy Dreams” were there also visiting the Bay and playing a round of Petanque and of course meeting up with Iris and Heinrich from SV “Shaitan” is always a highlight. Iris and Luana are flying to the States for a visit, and so it will be probably a proper goodbye for the girls today.
Whisper Cove Marina is located at Clarks’ Court Bay and is a tiny, peaceful, little Marina tucked away with a great Butcher shop. We bought some meat there for our dinner, before picking Julia and Carlos up from SV “Shaitan” and driving home. The closer the time comes for us going back home, the more I have the feeling that I need to teach Julia and Carlos a few more tools to face the reality of a public school again. I am positive that they have learned enough, but will not take my chance and try to cover everything. So I have been digging deep into my school box and found a few bits and pieces that could be handy to know.
We have also started making our own bread. Once we had tried the bread from Dena, there was no way for us going back to buying bread in the shop again. The bread is really simple and easy to make and only takes a few minutes before going to bed. You take 3 ½ cups of flour, 1 tsp. of salt, ¼ tsp of yeast and 1 ½ cup of warm water…..you mix it all together, until it is all combined and leave it sitting under a cloth over night. In the morning I put it into a bread tin and let it rise for another hour, before sticking it into an oven for 30 minutes by 230 Degree (450 Fahrenheit) and then another 15 minutes by 190 degree (375 Fahrenheit)… Voila; the bread is ready to eat and is absolutely delicious! The smell of this fresh bed makes my family crawl out of bed even faster! Try it out for yourself and enjoy eating it fresh out of the oven, warm with a bit of butter on top…….Bon Appetite!
