ABOUT US

For over 23 years already, we have been exploring the world's warm seas (we won't explore all of the Seven Seas as we are more and more allergic to the cold wx !)

From a background of teaching and managing, we left our home countries of Belgium and California to discover the world!  From teaching scuba diving for Club Med … , managing all sports activities on cruise ships ..., running a live-aboard dive boat as captains/managers ..., guiding tourists around as tour guides…,  to reporting as travel writers around the South Pacific on our own sailing trimaran … we've been around!

Believing that Man never owns the Land but that instead Land owns the Men on it, we keep traveling free of any landownership :)

We enjoy discovering nature's beauty and people's cultures.
We enjoy the independent style of living that cruising around brings (that's when we are not using bad language at equipment failures!

We like to meet people, islanders and cruisers … and above all, like to share information   Rarely did we regret to have made the first step to meet anyone !
Nice to still experience the pioneer spirit when we all try to help each other when we can! We always help our friends when we can and we are always glad to be helped too. But we believe in not abusing this assistance! We find it normal to pay another cruiser for his work as we do for a shore company doing the same specialized job. A little extra cash is always needed in the cruising kitty … we know how boats are huge holes on the ocean that we keep pouring money into!

Where do we find the money needed to keep cruising ???

Either you slave away most of your life in the ‘corporate world’ (didn’t look appealing to us!), either you have a fortune that falls in your hands (we don’t play lottery, we don’t gamble and luckily for us were not born millionaires) … so we have to earn money somehow! We try first to not spend too much (less work!) and we find different ways to earn money as we travel. If you think writing pays well, let us tell you that you are lucky if it pays for cameras & computer equipment! We believe in sharing great products we have discovered for both cruisers and our landlubber friends. I install email systems that rely on HF radio instead of phone lines (ideal for cruisers and remote communities). I sell great 12v LED lights that last forever, use so little power, some are waterproof & come with a lifetime warranty and some are perfect to replace any interior light you have! I also discovered a great GPS Mouse that get your boat position on your computer in 3 easy steps. We offer competitive prices and a personalized service and fill a little our cruising kitty along the way.  We also will stop a year or more from time to time to work ashore in various capacities that are in need (getting the work permits needed etc)

Our hobbies other than the above are giving exclusive hands-on cruising seminars, gathering fruit, swimming under waterfalls, diving and fishing, cooking & eating, reading great books, video production, ham radio …

Zoetje, our Schipperke dog has been the ideal traveling companion since 94'. From working with us on the live-aboard to surviving 2 hurricanes, he has been in almost on all our adventures (except Easter Island, NZ and Australia where we flew to). Zenne, his female companion has joined us in Fiji 2 years ago. They beat kids on-board by the dozen J

Our plans for the future, continuing cruising the South Pacific, then explore the Indian Ocean and Red Sea …
