Sailing on the RandomWind – St Maarten

We spent our last day at St Maarten on the sailboat Random Wind. What a GREAT trip…The owner of Random Wind is Diane (I’m afraid I don’t know her last name…)…she and her two children live on the boat. She is a single mom, and does an amazing job…she makes the trip so much fun. You feel so welcomed and comfortable….you can have whatever you want to drink, from Bloody Marys, Margaritas, Rum Punch, Beer, Soda, water…what ever. She cooks and feeds you a wonderful curry chicken with rice and green salad with bread for lunch…there was a mid-day snack and an afternoon snack.

She picks you up in her dinghy and takes you to the boat…she serves everyone a round of drinks and she starts visiting with everybody…it is a nice leisure sail to a beach where they anchor…you can go snorkling and swimming…you can swim to the beach…while lunch is being prepared. After lunch we sailed to another beach. Kelly and I rode up on the Bow seat at the front of the boat…that was a lot of fun. It was like being on a rollercoaster…I highley recommend trying the seat if you ever get a chance.

The second anchor spot, they set up a trapeze swing from the spinnaker boom…that was soooo much fun. You climb up onto the top rail and you hold onto the trapeze bar and they tell you when to lift your feet and swing out with the rock of the boat…then you let go and drop into the sea…fun…Kelly and Scott did the trapeze about a dozen times or more…Every one on board tried the trapeze at least once. Then we headed home…It was an amazing day…a nice way to end a great vacation.

If you are ever in St Maarten, we highly recommend booking a trip with Random Wind, it is worth every penny….. Randomwind.com

Because I was so busy having a great time swimming and holding on…I am afraid, I didn’t take many photos…
