Thanks for coming back! If you liked this post, you may want to sign up for my weekly blog roundup. Thanks for visiting and continuing the conversation!Island Windjammers runs just one itinerary right now – a round-trip from Grenada through the Grenadines. Luckily, it’s a great one for sailors...

As I mentioned in my first post about my Island Windjammers cruise, one of my favorite activities on the boat was flinging myself into the water from an old-fashioned rope swing attached to the side of the boat. I was the first to go Tarzan – but others soon jumped in. The crew would even do it, once...

I just got off my Island Windjammers cruise on the Diamant – and honestly, I’m feeling a bit bereft. And it’s not just the unrestored equilibrium in my inner ear that has me off-kilter. The cruise had its high points and its low points (which I’ll detail later), but like any truly...

My internet access has been sketchy at best for the past few days (and will continue to be so throughout the week). I’m on the Diamant, a 101-foot schooner operated by Island Windjammers, on an assignment for CruiseCritic.com.

I rarely sit and veg when I’m on vacation. Even if I’m not working, I still feel compelled to see everything that I possibly can, duck into hotels to check out rooms, take notes for future stories, post on my blog.  I can’t help it. It’s the way I’m wired. The Grenadines...

My trip report from our St. Vincent & the Grenadines vacation is up. As I’ve said in previous posts on Mustique and Tobago Cays, this was one of the most relaxing trips that Don and I have ever taken. It’s nice to slow down once in a while! And SVG is a great place to do that… Read...

Of all the islands in the Caribbean, perhaps none conjures as much glamour as Mustique. Sure, St. Barts attracts the rich and Turks &  Caicos draws the famous. But Mustique beats them all by serving as a second home getaway to the coolest kids in class - rock stars and royalty.

The perfect desert islands do exist! The Tobago Cays, in the Grenadines, are now my happy place, where I’m going to escape in my head whenever things get too stressful. Accessible from both Grenada and the Grenadines,  these uninhabited islands – five in all – served as the lonely...

When the forecast reads, “Chance of Snow: Never,” it’s a bit strange to hear Bing Crosby warbling “White Christmas.” But it’s happened throughout these past two weeks in Grenada, St. Vincent and Bequia. Christmas starts early here- at least on the radio. At a lovely...

It’s official – my blog has fallen victim to island time. It’s not the lack of wifi access: I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how good (and free!) my connections have been both here in St. Vincent and in Grenada. I just can’t bring myself to pull out a computer. And why...
