Let it storm

Not as strong as expected but still enough to remind us of how incredibly small we human beings are on this place called earth. It is a reminder of that the nature doesn't care all that much wether we live or die. We are just a part of the life we created for ourselves and we'll stay around only for as long as we manage to survive. Human life and the raw nature feels brilliantly synchronized and in harmony with one another at times, incomprehensibly incompatible at others. 

Bring it on

Doesn't it look like we're just about to ride a hurricane? No? Well we're ready either way. Looks like tropical storm Maria could be throwing in some hurricane winds to us tomorrow with storm beginning already tonight so we have not much else to do than prepare our dear Caos as much as we can. We've just tied up to a mooring, threw out an anchor, secured all possible flying stuff off the deck and that should be fine to begin with. This is supposed to be the strongest tropical storm in our Caribbean stay so far. Perhaps even a hurricane if we are really damn unlucky. But like they say; there's always a first time for everything.

Wanna get out on the sea

To stay on land, especially on a happening island like SXM, is wonderful but we can't wait for the storm to pass so we can get out sailing again. Much to discover also outside of this lagoon..

Mueve la cintura

Lots of salsa, bachata & other ritmos latinos going on here on this island.. here's a good one to get you in the mood.

Bar of the night

If you're ever around in St Martin you should check out our friend Guy's beach bar by Maho Beach. It's a simple bar made out of a boat, perfectly located right at the end of the airport runway. Great experience, good ambiance and amazing views where the planes land and the sun beautifully sets in the Caribbean sea.

Mullet Bay

last pic is from Maho Beach

Alex got a couple of smaller waves from the swell of hurricane Katia on Saturday afternoon on Mullet bay and there was that other bay which was even better with some nice barrels (no pics from there unfortunately due to the late hour in which we finally found the place). Apparently there was even better surf on the NE on Sunday which we unfortunately missed out on. Shall check the place out next time there's a good swell coming.
