This blog is about life onboard SV Moana Roa, a 46 foot sailing catamaran, and the journey from the Caribbean back to Australia. Laurie and Sonia, Travis, Beau, and Kara leave home on Christmas Island (Australian Indian Ocean Territories) in December 2012 and set sail in January 2013.

Passage making with Elizabeth

Funny faces under the trampoline tent
Our new trampoline tent, creates a great reading room

While Christmas shopping we had to take a photo of this add
on the French side of St Martin
The children's drum band putting on a Christmas show
outside the library in Marigot, St Martin
Smoke billowing from the active volcano on Montserat
which last erupted in 2011.  We sailed up to the exclusion zone
Eerie... the ghost town of Plymouth,
Montserat after the 1997 eruption

Santa managed to climb down the mast and squeeze through the front hatch, gee he's good...

Travis happy to pull in a Little Tunny on the passage to the BVI's

At The Baths, Virgin Gorda, BVI's, apparently one of the most spectacular travel
destinations in the Caribbean.... we agree!
Beau trying to bump E off the paddle board on Christmas Day

Gorda Sound, British Virgin Islands... our boat is the most distant one in the photo...
Sir Richard Branson's Necker Island is also in the distance
Spectacular scenery....on a walk with our Aussie friends from the yacht Remi De

Getting down to business... plotting our course across the Caribbean Sea, 1000 Nautical Miles to Panama
