Welcome to gone.world. This is the home of sailing vessel Humpback and its crew: David, Charlotte, Arthur, Theo and Hector. We blog mostly about each place we visit and our passages between them. Sometimes, we also talk about other things like babies and children on board, boat-schooling and boat maintenance.
Three Months at Tijax- On Land!
Our first three months on land as work started on Humpback. Filled with wildlife, walks, swimming and boat work.
Ocho Rios
Nana B visits so we spend a week in a hotel, and we prep for a hurricane that luckily doesn’t come. Lots of swimming!
Montego Bay (Mooring)
The yacht club facilitated our entry to Jamaica (complicated by COVID restrictions). It rained a lot. A little isolated from town, so we didn’t stay long.
Montego Bay
Huge, sheltered anchorage with good holding. The park looked excellent, but was only partly open due to COVID. Town itself, busy and fun, but not convenient for groceries.
Providenciales to Jamaica
Lovely sail most of the way – plenty of “boom” waves which the boys enjoy. Also some scary lightning.
near Turtle Cove, Providenciales
Just for one night to complete outgoing paperwork and stock up for what could be a long sail…
Grace Bay, Providenciales
A clean, neat, but sterile town. Puppies to walk, excellent paths, and Jojo the dophin made this a fun place to stay for a week or so.
The Bight, Take Two
Hector’s third birthday on a beach, turtle pinata, pulling a navigation marker around. Plus some relaxing while heavier weather passed us by.
Among the Cays
Anchored inbetween Mangrove Cay and Little Water Cay (to the north of Providenciales). Paddleboarded, dinghied, and swam between the islands. Lots of Iguanas.
The Bight, Providenciales
We anchored off the sailing school for easy access to shore to complete some paperwork. Lots of coral.
