Monday Never

Monday Never We are Cat, Will and Maddie sailing SV Paradox II, a Contest 46 and documenting our adventures. We're Cat and Will.

In 2015 we quit our jobs in San Francisco to move aboard a 1989 CS 36 Merlin. We spent a year cruising the Caribbean and Bahamas before selling her in Florida and buying a sidecar motorcycle rig and driving around Europe trying to avoid calamity at the hands of Italian drivers. We sailed back across the Atlantic on a delivery trip with friends, before setting up shop in Chicago and going back to w

ork, saving for the next adventure. We had a baby along the way and we’re now in St Pete, FL fixing up our new to us 1995 Contest 46 and slowly getting ready for the Big Trip, timeline undefined.

We are back on the boat. And Maddie has big news to share. She’s lost her first tooth! Dang time flies.

She also grabbed my phone and insisted taking pictures of me and Will for this post. So thank you Mads, our new family photographer.

I should post more from England. We have so many wonderful photos and memories from that trip. But now we are very excited to be back and for the season ahead!

Boat break!

2 weeks ago, Will got Dengue Fever. He’s fine now, but poor guy hadn’t left the boat in over a year. So on a whim, we decided that when we hauled the boat for a bottom job, we’d just park it in the yard for a while and get off. We were overdue a trip to England to see family… so we flew out of the oppressive heat of Grenada and into sweater weather. We got in yesterday!

First stop was to get Maddie clothes - she didn’t own a sweater, a long-sleeved shirt, or even a pair of pants that fit her. Then a long drive to get most of the way to Cornwall where we’ll be spending the next 2 weeks. Then finally a pint before collapsing into our jet lag.

We are so so happy to be here! Let the cliff walks, moors, people b lunches, and paintings begin!

Time in Edwardsville visiting Grandma. Maddie got a hold of my phone and took all the pictures here here she isn’t featured (and so so many more that I didn’t include 😂). Wonderful visit! Filled with time at the garden, the zoo, family and friends, a visit to the Muny to see The Little Mermaid, lots of painting, sewing, and general silliness. Now looking forward to getting back to the boat once the airline delays and cancellations sort themselves out!

Looks like everyone got the memo about Hurricane Beryl last night. It ain’t lonely out here! Decided to bail on our comfy spot in the mangroves in Port Egmont, Grenada at 0230 after days of hemming and hawing with Brandon . Beautiful conditions out here - 15-20kts just forward of the beam so we’re scooting along at 8kts. Trinidad in time for a late lunch!

Meanwhile… in Guadeloupe Will has stocked the boat with our all-time favorite hot sauce. Think we have enough??

These gals. And what happens after cocktails at Box Bar.

Goodbyes in this lifestyle are unfortunately the norm. We’ve said goodbye to literally everyone we love at some point over the years. Saying goodbye to the other day was gut wrenching after buddy boating for the past 3 years.

But, we have also learned that “goodbyes” are only temporary and the inevitable “hello agains” are then so much sweeter.

So see you soon dear friends!

I am a serial collector of creative hobbies. This season’s past time has been painting (not sewing like last season, or video creation like seasons past…). So if you’ve noticed things are a bit quiet over here, it’s probably because I’m busy on a beach watching Maddie swim and soaking in the sights around us. But all is good. All is great actually. We are posted in the USVI for a while so if you see us, say 👋!

Traveling with the best little travel buddy anyone could ask for.

Maddie has become a keen hiker (did 4.5 miles up a piton to see a ruin yesterday) and I’ve been letting her take photos with my camera. See if you can guess which are hers 😂

Who knew 4 year olds were so fun?

In other news, loving Les Saints as we wait for the “Christmas Winds” to chill out. The anchorage leaves a bit to be desired with this weather, but couldn’t ask for a prettier place.

Martinique photo dump.

We’ve been pretty quiet here lately. Not because there isn’t anything happening, but because we are enjoying living life off social media at the moment. The past month has been incredible. We’ve settled into the best that Martinique has to offer. From spending 10 days on the windward side in almost complete isolation (it was spectacular, we cannot believe it’s unvisited by cruisers), to birthday dinner at Kube, to friends and more friends and more friends…
It has been a great month.

Off to points North soon, but the season is still completely up in the air at the moment.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

Maddie wanted a mermaid tail for Christmas. We found this fun fabric in Grenada and I whipped it up this morning. Still need to figure out how to make the tail stand on its own, but we have one happy girl on the boat today.

Then, Will strung up our lights. If you happen to be near us in Martinique, we are the ones lighting up the anchorage.

This is now our 4th Christmas on the boat, which is hard to believe! Hope everyone is enjoying a merry and festive holiday season!
