Episode 19 Heading Back to Grenada
Hi All,
Welcome to our channel,
In this episode we finally get our first sail of the new season………
We sail overnight from Trinidad to Grenada ... why overnight its meant to be safer from potential piracy attacks.
Here's a link to two of our earlier episodes
ua-cam.com/video/rk7c4wEOHwI/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/Q-nUJcMr7ko/v-deo.html
We are Andrew and Irene a middle aged (well not sure what age range that encompasses nowadays ) couple pursuing an adventure on the high seas. We sail on the good ship Saracen, a Beneteau Oceanis 473 from 2006.
Out journey started in Scotland in early 2023 and our ultimate goal is to sail around the globe …..slowly.
We make these videos mostly for family and friends and to create a record of our adventures for ourselves so that we can look back at them later in life, were not in it to make money (way to hard).
Thanks for taking an interest and please remember to leave a like and subscribe to our channel.
We also write a blog which can be found here

Episode 10 - The Chicken Tikka Curry Experiment
Exciting season Two ! How far North you going ?
Not as far as you think … BVI’s then back to Trinidad
Looking forward to this 🤩
Hope you like it!
❤
Great Video , what was the fuel price at the dock down there?
It’s was about 8TTD a litre , cheaper at gas station by 50%
@@SVSaracensTravels yes they always gouge you at the marinas . Still not bad compared to the BVI.
Great video. 🤩
Thanks guys for taking the time and effort in recording your travels for posterity and of course for sharing those special momenrs with us. Respect 👊
Our pleasure!

hahaha
looks like a great island to visit, thanks for sharing your adventure
Mmmmm the famous curry??
sad times
your always sailing in 25kts!! great video again
loving all your videos very inspiring
I'm not sure if we sent this already but a potentially helpful link for you may be by another youtuber called Wind Hippie. She has been posting for about 4 years during her single handed circumnavigation. Depending upon where you are going she goes through processes for customs arrival departures which may help you prepare aforehand. All the best for now.
Love that you had a drink in Cathrine's bar and visited Honoré Police station
Your adventure just gets better and better. Absolutely stunning, thank you for the time taken, patience, perseverance and for posting.
Nicely done, looks better than the 2 in 1 !
Thanks!
Looks very tasty. We tend to use a pressure cooker for many things on the boat and at home. It saves so much time and gas, hence spondulics. I only mention because I see the pans, so forgive me if you already have one.
Here gas is very cheap …it’s only expensive is good old UK , we pay about £6 to fill a 6 kg bottle
Love the mangrove and jungle shots. That mosquito had a Scottish twang to it too tha noo are you sure it's nae a visitor!?
Absolutely brilliant. Can’t believe you dedicated a whole episode to drinking a beer on the beach. Hope you guys are both well? looking forward to seeing you both soon and hearing about your adventures. Wish I was there .
You wanted a picture of your beer being drank on a beach … I just got carried away a bit ……
Brilliant 🤩
A curious bird the Pelican. Its beak can hold more than its belly can...
A great retrospective. Keep them coming.
More to come!
Hope your guys are well? Looks great. Enjoying videos.
Were both loving life …… what a journey and its great out here… were back in UK in Aug / Sept it will be great to catch up …..
Plus hope you three are all good … see you dad still trying to sell the tires and swords LOL

Looking forward to this one
Loved this one 👍
Nice video, it looked great fun.
There fun to make …. Learning Davinci Resolve now
Thank you for posting. Very educational, lush and uplifting video. Still dreak and cold here. It seems like its a popular pasttime for some yachts to see how many anchors they can collect in one go over there.
Yeah Peter the history out here is fantastic …. We’re now running of of season so it’s never time to point the bows south
Hi guys, looking good. 👍
I'm speechless 🙊
Really enjoyed this guys, it’s so nice to hear your voices after all this time, it’s like we’re on the journey with you.
More to come!
Thanks, very interesting
Really good narration thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi, I got here in the end! Thank you for sharing this - it is very interesting, educational, well presented and down to earth. Okay so a few rough edges but that makes us human and I couldn't do any better in fact much much worse. Not sure about the "music" on the bus trip - sort of expecting reggae but times have changed even there I guess. The rain must be a bit of a respite now for you rather than a pain in the proverbial like it is in Scotland. The grass is always greener!. It's just as well you didn't try to do anything else with the boat dragging its anchor as you would more than likely be accused of, well anything but trying to do a good deed. Fortunately not everyone on a yacht is so ungreatful for any help offered. Charter yacht or otherwise. Stay safe and we are so looking forward to the next video.
Great start guys. Dig the sounds man 😊 just what the doctor should have ordered!
