LIVE TO WORK vs WORK TO LIVE...

It has been exactly one year that we’ve QUITED our office jobs. And however you may think we are on a loooooong holiday, it’s actually not.

Like ordinary life it has ups and downs...

In a nutshell: everything we do, we do for ourselves, to make this journey, this live, possible.

In that perspective it doesn’t feel like working, but just living!

The sundowner is one of the most treasurefull moments of the day, because it remembers us that life is transient. What’s yours?

The island Martinique is volcanic in origin and Mount Pelée, in the Northwest, is still active. The year 1902 saw the last big eruption, which completely destroyed the old capital St Pierre with 30.000 inhabitants. Only a few survived they say, one was in prison and the other on a boat!

This feeling...

the wind in your hair,
the sun on your nose,
the rhythm of the ocean.

Since two weeks we’re sailing the west coast of Martinique; hopping from bay to bay in a few hours a day 🏝

Afterwards we’ll have a drink on a nice beach and doing some snorkeling 🤿

Happy Sunday y’all!

✨C H I L L A X . There are worse ways to think spending time aboard before checking in. Okay okay, we also did a bunch of boatjobs. For example: do some measurements of the mast for maintenance. So after hoisting the cap in to the mast I’m just hanging above the blue 💦
