Blue Water Sailing Experience

July 23, 2019 Leave a Comment

Our Sailing Channel Update

June 3, 2019 2 Comments

While sailing from South Carolina down to Trinidad we tried to publish a video every week. For the most part, we accomplished our goal however we fell further and further behind. By the time we published our last ‘travel-log’ style video, we were five months behind our real time. To catch up to where we[Read More]

Britican Update

Britican Update – Kim Lives

January 15, 2019 5 Comments

Just over a month ago I had a heart complication while anchored off a deserted island. Long story short, I made it to a hospital on a populated island, was then sent by plane to a larger populated island. After five days spent in a Caribbean hospital and I was told to fly up to London to see a cardiologist. The ordeal is now completely over as we’ve made it back to the Caribbean. Watch the video for the full update and then carry on reading below…

Stop Living The Dream?

Time To Stop Living The Dream?

December 18, 2018 82 Comments

In the last week I’ve had three ambulance rides, a trip in a private plane, visited two hospitals – staying in one for five days and a commercial flight from the Caribbean to London, England where I’m now situated. Is it time to stop living the dream?

Why do I think it happened in the first place? Has this experience caused me to reevaluate whether my family and I should continue with the cruising life? What do I think about people that have health conditions that do want to go cruising? What’s the the future for sailing Britican? Find out more here…

Cruisers Medical Emergency

Medical Emergency on a Deserted Island

December 11, 2018 131 Comments

I could sense the doctor was afraid. I suppose I got a glimpse into the psychic sense that dogs have. Our four legged friends feel or smell fear – don’t they? The doctor looked and acted confident but I knew he wished he wasn’t standing above me. He wished someone else was in his place.

After saying that he needed to act fast, the Doctor proceeded to put a drug into the needle port placed on the top of my hand. At the last minute he pulled back and said, ‘let me check something.’ The doctor started checking my pulse on my legs, under my knees, on my wrist. He then said, hold on and walked out. 

I could see the drug on the counter. I was in so much discomfort that I just wanted him to inject it. Without knowing what was going on I Knew (with a capital K) that that drug was going to either help me or perhaps kill me. 

After having my heart beat at 233 beats per minute for two hours I was getting ready to give up.

Sailing the Caribbean – A journey update

June 10, 2018 6 Comments

Can you imagine one day enjoying quiet sundowners with your fellow buddy boats, in a secluded calm harbor, and then the next day sailing the Caribbean through massive Atlantic swells, turbulent frothy white waves and at least one dark gusty squall? Contrast beautiful green lush mountainous rainforests, brown and black volcanic beaches and the deep[Read More]

There comes a point where you can’t do anymore and I’ve about hit that point. I’ve provisioned, pre-made meals to cook from frozen, have cleaned and stowed away anything and everything that I could possible fit. Space has been freed up by clearing out the old and bringing in the necessities. It’s time to set[Read More]
