Home again Kiss Bojo

My snow princess is back on the boat and everything is back to normal.

Right now in Martinique

This is what I left behind. Turquoise water, tall green palm trees swinging in the wind, reggae or zouk sounding from a bar or a house next door, calm sea breeze chilling your sunburnt body, silky water for a refreshing swim, luscious gardens and colorful flowers, the loud and distinctive sound from the Coqui frogs singing in the nights, white and soft sand for miles-long promenades and +32°C (90°F) in the air.. Can't wait to get back!

My dad informed me of the -20°C (-4°F) situation in Helsinki to where I am on my way and I can't say it tempts me much though it is wonderful to see my dear family of course.

Yes Paris was the right answer of the last post. Brussels was a good try as well even though that city is far from my favorite ones in Europe. Paris is, although it today was colder and more different than ever.  /T

Martinique

Our friends have left to Miami and me and Alex have just left St Lucia behind and now arrived to Fort de France, the capital of Martinique. We will shortly begin to explore this colorful French island. I just have to catch up with some work and I'll be back with some stories, photos and videos from the last couple of weeks later on, ok.

Bisous et à bientôt,

Taru

In Marigot Bay

Hello world! Finally Internet connection again. Our satellite unit crashed on the 21st day and I've been dying to give you all an update or two. Anyway, we arrived as I shortly mentioned in the last post (the Blackberry couldn't post anything else than a title - facebook has served us good at least...) in Barbados yesterday and after picking up our friends we sailed over to St Lucia and Marigot Bay. It is beautiful here and we are enjoying a wonderful vacation now and for the rest of the weekend. It is very interesting that so many of you thought that we've been fighting or killed each other or something but the truth is that we fought much less than anywhere else during this crossing, simply because there wasn't much to fight about, no stress, no deadlines and so on... The last five days of the crossing was a bit of a roller-coaster in other ways though. 20 foot seas, constant wind never less than 25 knots and gusts up to 46 knots. Insane ride. Not at all like we expected the Atlantic crossing, yet it feels amazing to have it done. 

Will let you know all about it later on though, now more rum punch please! /T
