You may be wondering what the heck Don't Stop The Carnival, Kinja and the Gull Reef Club are all about.

It all begins with Don't Stop The Carnival, a very funny adventure story written by Herman Wouk about a
couple from New York who decide to move to the Caribbean and open a hotel....something we have always wanted to do!

Kinja is an imaginary island in the Caribbean where the story unfolds (much like the stories aboard our boat!).

Ah, and the Gull Reef Club....well, you will have to read the book to figure that one out !

Sailing Again

With a dry bilge and a full tank of fuel we headed to the northern tip of Virgin Gorda.

A funny little story...
We anchored out in a peaceful inlet with a few other sailboats and great swimming right off the stern...perfect....or so we thought.....

Side note...
On our journey south last year we met Captain Kent Kohlberger, who used to skipper one of Jimmy Buffet's boats, Continental Drifter.  He gave us some really good advice, never anchor or tie up close to the big sport fishing boats....they play loud music and party all night.  We always found that to be true.

Back to the story...

Well just as the sun began to set, you can imagine what happened.  A 50 foot sport fishing boat anchored right next to us!  On board were a bunch of young kids on spring break from Puerto Rico, and you got it...the music was blaring.  It went from bad went to worse when they hooked up the outdoor karaoke machine and started to sing along with the music.  It was a very long night!
