Manta Ray off Redonda Island, between Nevis and Monserrat

Lucky Dolphins

DOLPHINS! A pod of 15-20 dolphins playing on the sail from St. Eustatius to Nevis...

are usually a sign of good luck!

Our lucky fishing day-- Yummy big eye tuna! Chris and Iggy brought this one on board for us...

Sasha helped cut it up so we could have a little snack now and dinner later.

PIE - RAT

How will the S/Y Hypnautic guard against potential pirates at she sails south?
Matt & Erin sent us a little care package. LOVE IT! New garb for next year's Michael Beans shows. Things to note- the guns in this picture are about as real as the parrot strapped to my arm and used only on pesky seagulls who like to poop on our boat. The tuft of blond hair peeking out from under the hat is real, I'm always amazed at what the sun can do!

Summer Adventure!

This summer we are embarking on an epic voyage! (Well, maybe not epic, people did it in canoes thousands of years ago, that was e-p-i-c.) Still, quite an adventure for us and we will be covering a lot of new ground!! Starting from Virgin Gorda near the top of the map, we will sail east to St. Martin and then south all the way to Grenada and back, stopping at various islands along the way. Yes, we know what we're doing. Yes, it will be awesome. Yes we have a satellite phone and a GPS and an EPIRB. And finally, yes, you can come with us for part or all of the return voyage! Email me for details.

Cool Delights!

A couple of our past SeaTrek BVI students asked what they could bring down to us and after a couple weeks of thinking this is what we came up with...An ice cream maker attachment for my already overworked Kitchen Aid! Now we have fresh make ice cream and sorbet! This may sound silly, but making ice cream is a Chaille family tradition that I'm trying to bring to our boat life. My first attempt was a blackberry passion fruit sorbet. It turns everything it touches blue but it tastes great!
