Join us for a flashback to the past, on our sail up to the Berry Islands.

Days by the Sea, oh how's the Serenity.. Ep. 178

There's nothing better than catching your own seafood, cooking it up on the beach to share with friends, early morning yoga and frolicking around in crystal clear water until the sun goes down.

Life's a Grind in the Tropics Ep.177

I made a list on Amazon and I'll go and...

Gloomy Days Onboard.. Freediving Pregnancy Scare! Ep. 175

Having snuck into our spot at high tide it seemed far less treacherous than when it dropped later that afternoon and we were completely surrounded by coral reef.
