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.

Cooking Class at the True Blue Resort

I had heard about the Thursday afternoon cooking classes in the True Blue Resort already over the net, but we had not made it down there so far. Last week I heard that they were going to show how to prepare and cook with green Papaya. We had already tried a dish like that and had liked it very much and now wanted to know how to prepare it ourselves .I persuaded Sven to come along and since The True Blue Resort has got a great playground and a really nice pool, it was no problem for Julia and Carlos to come along. The Resort is in walking distance from the Big Fish restaurant and so we packed our bags at 2 o’clock to be there on time for the class at three. Julia, Carlos and I had already been in the Resort for a short visit with Amy and I had also attended a Yoga class there one night. For Sven it was his first visit and he liked it as much as we had liked it. It is all painted in very friendly colours and various art works is to be found around the place. Julia and Carlos settled into the pool area while Sven and I took a seat in the front row making sure not to miss anything. When the cooks “Esther and Omega” arrived they informed us that they had changed todays menu. The menu included now “Cream of Christophine Soup”; “homemade” Garlic butter; and “Ripe Plantain in Orange Ginger Juice”. They lead us through a cooking class with lots of humor and answered our questions patiently and we had a wonderful time. The meal turned out beautiful and was delicious to eat, and we decided to go again next week. I even thought that Carlos and Julia might like to attend the class next week, it certainly won’t hurt them to learn how prepare a few different meals.
