A family of five, a sailboat, a world
We spent two weeks in Martinique, getting Ubi ready to leave and discover the Caribbeans. Here is a little summary-video of our time there!
Congratulations on disembarking Martinique. Your persistence and cheerfulness in the face of obstacles — a hole in the hull!! — is beautiful. I hope you have nice seas ahead.
Thanks Gerry! We just had a new obstacle with a bad oil leak in the engine. We sailed/motored for four hours, having to add a liter of oil every 10 minutes… We are now safely in the marina of Point a Pitre, Guadeloupe and are dealing with the leaking carter… We are learning tones! Fun sometimes, not at all other times 🙂
Bonjour à toute la Neve Family!
Et tout d’abord, excellente année à tous les 5, on a tendance à croire à la lecture de ce chouette blog (écrite dans une langue bizarre qui n’est visiblement pas du français, mais bon, personne n’est parfait 😉 ) que l’année en question n’a pas trop mal commencé…!
Le bateau est impressionnant, les photos et vidéos font vraiment envie, mais vous ne m’ôterez pas la conviction que je suis bien mieux dans mon appartement à Bourgoin-Jallieu sous un ciel grisâtre et froid.
Je pense bien à vous, dans l’attente de lire la suite!
Bises!
Yoann
PS: j’ai loupé ton appel Natouille, sorry, tu captes du réseau téléphonique au milieu de l’océan?
We love seeing your sparkly faces!! Oh my gosh, we miss we guys.
A few questions from my monkeys to your monkeys:
1. Can we see pictures of where you guys sleep?
2. What are your favorite spots on the boat while it is sailing?
3. What are your favorite games to play on the boat?
4. What’s it’s like to swim in ocean? Have you seen sharks?!
5. What’s it like to only be able to see ocean and no land?
6. What is your favorite experience you have had so far?
We love you guys! ~ Lindsey, Hans, Giselle, Beyo & Ioni
Great questions!
Here go the answers from my monkeys:
We love seeing your sparkly faces!! Oh my gosh, we miss we guys.
A few questions from my monkeys to your monkeys:
1. Can we see pictures of where you guys sleep?
Yes, I will post that, no problem
2. What are your favorite spots on the boat while it is sailing?
Noah and Naomie say the cockpit, because it is safe but outside. And you have less chance of throwing up than inside. Bastien says at the very bow of the boat, because it is more adventurous and it is kinda wild.
3. What are your favorite games to play on the boat?
All say hide and go seek. Bastien add Legos, ofcourse
4. What’s it’s like to swim in ocean? Have you seen sharks?!
Noah says it feels like nature is with you. Naomie adds you see a lot of fish, sometimes they go around you and they are beautiful. Bastien adds: “May nature be with you” 😉 We haven’t seen any sharks but we ate some. It wasn’t that good.
5. What’s it like to only be able to see ocean and no land?
They say: “it feels like: oh man, it’s going to take a long time…”
6. What is your favorite experience you have had so far?
All of them: Going to the beach often. Seeing the dolphins. Eating boat-made pizza. Going up the mast. Seeing all the fish when snorkeling.
Thanks for all those great questions guys!
Big hugs!!
