When you spend the year in the Caribbean, where the weather is very similar year-round and you don’t experience the seasonal changes you’ve been accustomed to most of your life, holidays tend to escape your attention. Although there are decorations in Latin American countries, we still find it difficult to get into the holiday spirit.
Nevertheless, we want to take some time to reflect on the year that is slowly coming to an end.

We have been blessed with another wonderful year, which has allowed us to

… spend time with family on and off the boat… / …Zeit mit der Familie auf dem Boot und an Land zu verbringen

…Have fun with friends, both old and new / … Spaß mit alten und neuen Freunden zu haben

…Try new and adventurous things / … neue und abenteuerliche Dinge auszuprobieren

… embrace cultures different from our own / … andere Kulturen schätzen zu lernen

… relish in exhilarating and peaceful sailing / … aufregendes und entspanntes Segeln zu genießen

… explore new places / … neue Orte zu erkunden

and discover new and unusual foods and drinks. / und neue und außergewöhnliche Speisen und Getränke zu entdecken.

Your friendship makes all of this even better. Thank you for traveling with us and for your encouraging and cheerful comments.

Though we are far apart during this Holiday Season, we are together in our hearts and minds. May this Christmas season bring you and your family nothing but happiness and joy. Merry Christmas, and all the best for a healthy, happy, and prosperous 2026! Here’s to making more unforgettable memories! 🥂
