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.

Saying goodbey to friends in Grenada

On Friday morning Julia and Carlos had been invited by their friend Natasha to come along to a Fun Day at a local school. They had to get up early to catch the bus at 7 in the morning. Usually they do like to sleep in but this was no problem for Julia on that morning. Friday morning was also my last Yoga session on the beach. Just as we were heading off to the beach it started to rain, so we decided to wait for an hour and have a cup of tea on our boat. What a great energy to have on the boat this time of the day. When the rain stopped we went to the beach, to indulge into a last hour of Yoga together. By the time I got back to the boat it was nearly time to get ready to pick up the kids from school. I made some sandwiches and water to bring along for a little picnic on the beach, before heading back home. When I arrived at the school, I was greeted by loud music and I could see three little white children in amongst little dark skin children shaking their body to the rhythm. It was funny to watch and it assured me that they also had a great Friday morning. The school was located right on coconut beach and we walked along the beach until we came to our usual picnic spot in Grande Anse, right in front of the restaurant Umbrella. Soon we were joined by other children, Amy, Deb and Bill. We had a fantastic afternoon and the kids tolled around the water with their Surf and Boggy boards. It was hard to leave and saying good bye to Amy, William and Bella, but I am assured that we will see them again one day in New Zealand. We headed back home where I prepared a Lasagna and Susan and Jan came over for dinner and a glass of wine. They brought a salad and the dinner turned out to be absolute delicious and was accompanied by lots of laughter and chatting. When Susan, Jan and Sven headed off to the Tikki bar at 10 pm I had to give it a miss, I was tired and exhausted from the day, especially after not having too much sleep the night before. That what happens if you talk to your family back in Germany throughout the night, however every minute was worth it, but you need to know when you have reached your limit.
