That’s it, it’s now official, Jayana will find the sea in a few weeks for new adventures! Our faithful mount, having found no new owners, could not resign himself to remain locked in Lake Champlain. The kids were eager for new adventures on the boat, but “not at the lake” did they bother to specify. […]

Those who follow our blog know that we carry a monster aboard Jayana. However, we almost always have incident every time we let loose. Since we own Air Jayana (our drone) to capture aerial views, my ultimate goal was to capture images of the monster in flight. Today, I finally got the pictures I wanted so much, […]

We would like to present you our most spectacular images taken in the first month we spent in Europe. We revisit our time in Leucate to prepare Jayana for her second year of voyage up to our stay in Cavalaire-sur-Mer, in the St-Tropez region. (sorry for the French version only)

Since we have returned to Montreal, I often wonder how will I summarize 76 days spent in Costa Rica and Nicaragua. There is so much to show, whether it is the ecosystems that we visited, the biodiversity we observed, the adventures we lived or the people we met. Then, one night, I found the inspiration […]

During the night, Sounda was bothered by the smoke emanating from the kitchen on the level below. She did not really slept and was not looking top shape this morning. After tipico breakfast (rice with beans, eggs and plantains), we go to the place of embarkation. After some formalities, we expect other passengers before leaving: a mother […]

After Manzanillo, we had booked a stay (the 3rd) in the vicinity of Turrialba. However, I convinced Sounda to cancel our last hotel to allow us to enjoy a few days in the Manzanillo area. We were looking for hotels and almost everything was sold out. We realized that it was Holy Week and a lot of people come […]
