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.

Roly Poly in Prickley Bay

We had heard off it, but since we have been in Prickley Bay we had not really experienced such boat movement. It had already started the day before yesterday, that the wind changed and with it the current and the swell came right into the Bay. I mean our boat is heavy and hardly rolling from side to side but it is enough to be annoyed. Just watching the other boats swaying heavily from side to side makes me seasick I can’t even imagine what it would be like to be on it. By three in the afternoon the heat and the movement had gotten to me and I nearly lost it, but luckily we were invited to a BBQ on Dena’s and Kevin’s Catamaran Sabaticus. They are sitting with their Catamaran in the Port Louis Marina and when we arrived there it feels like we are entering a different planet. The air condition is running and there is no movement on the boat at all. What a blessing after our inner ear balance had been under constant attack for the last two days. I felt immediately better and we spend a wonderful afternoon and evening with Dena and Kevin. They show us around the marina and we admire the facilities, the beach, the pool and the restaurant. What a wonderful place to hang out and it seems that there are lots of social activities going on. Dinner is cooked for us and we enjoyed freshly baked bread, marinated chicken, pasta salad as well as a raw broccoli salad with bacon, raisins and roasted pine nuts. Absolutely delicious and we make sure that there are no leftovers for the next day. Since it was Sunday and we had to take the bus home again, I was a bit nervous that there are no more buses driving late in the evening and we would have to walk home. Even though we were late going home; as soon as we stepped out of the marina a bus was driving pass and dropped us off right in front of the door of the restaurant “de big fish”. Lucky us and what a wonderful day it did turn out to be. Thank you Dena and Kevin for such wonderful entertaining afternoon and delicious dinner we enjoyed your company very much and hoping to repeat that pretty soon.
