Sailing and the Caribbean go together like peas and carrots. Initially, solely a form of transportation, sailing is now primarily for recreation and sport.
Some of my favorite Caribbean bloggers are people who have decided to see the Caribbean by sail. Their websites are filled with beautiful images of the islands, along with the nuts and bolts of this method of travel. Zero to Cruising is the site of Mike and Rebecca Sweeney, who left Kingston, Ontario, Canada on July 31, 2010. On their website they share how they keep themselves and their catamaran in shape as they travel through the islands. This couple is truly adventurous, climbing mountains, swimming, and hiking the islands they visit. From their site, it looks like they are currently in the British Virgin Islands. World Tour Stories is the online diary of Taru and Alex, a European couple currently in Columbia. World Tour Stories is where a glossy fashion magazine meets a sailing vessel. The photography is stunning, and it doesn’t hurt that both Taru and Alex are easy on the eyes. It’s no wonder they are known as the “sexy sailors.” Explore these sites, and you’ll find yourself longing for the open seas.
