I quit my career life of 20 years in December 2022 to start a new and more adventurous lifestyle with my partner. It was a big decision to leave the corporate life, but I jumped off the ship for adventure of lifetime- lot's of unknown and adjustment

Grand Macabou, Martinique. Hiking through paradise from bird's-eye view. Sailing Mirtillo S2E9
@TravelwithNaomi #martinique #cruising #sailing #travel #carribbean
It was an amazing day. We rented a car and went out for an afternoon trip without any specific destination. It was all spontaneous and we just followed the signs. We ended up in a place called Grand Macabou. We were blown away by such picturesque scenery and decided that we would come back with drone. It was one of the best hiking experiences we have ever had. Getting lost in the tropical paradise- it was great. Please enjoy beautiful nature from bird's-eye view.

@TravelwithNaomi #sailing #guadeloupe #cruising #adventure We spent 3 days in Sainte-Rose, Guadeloupe before moving to Terre-De-Haut, which is where we positioned ourselves for crossing to Dominica.

Among several options, we decided to go for a hike to La Cas...

@TravelwithNaomi #sailing #cruising #guadeloupe After staying 4 days in Jolly Harbour in Antigua, we decided to sail to Guadeloupe instead of spending more time in English Harbour, Antigua. It was a peaceful sailing, hoping to see whales or dolphin, because we met people who saw all kinds of interesting things 24 hours before our departure..., but no such encounter. We arrived in Deshaies, Guad...

@TravelwithNaomi #sailing #cruising #boatimprovement We installed modified Starlink to Mirtillo. We now have online access in coastal waters, at least that's the plan! Martin converted and ruggedized Starlink for sailboat to improve internet connectivity from SIM cards. We relied on SIM cards in the previous season and it was a pain in the neck, although it worked. We made it flat mount so it w...

How are you guys doing?
Hi there! We are doing great :-) See you soon~!
loving your videos. May I just make one suggestion? The sound of the music overwhelms your narration so you are sometimes hard to understand. Perhaps increase voice audio or reduce music volume especially when speaking. Keep enjoying!
Thank you so much for your kind words about my video and your suggestion. It is something I need to work on to improve the quality so that the viewers such as yourself can enjoy better! Thank you again 😀
This little island is so beautiful
@@Robertbrown-gu4nv Thank you for your comment. Yes it is. It was an amazing experience to spend some time there!
French island 🇫🇷
Oui ! It was beautiful 👍
Some times it looks like that, plus it looked like you came in the middle day sooo it looks better
Yes indeed, we came mid day. We had to be careful with the water way as it is quite shallow as you know! 😀
Hi, congrats for the mooring and thanks for information. May I ask how much cost your mooring on that site (per day, liveaboard)? Were any restrictions or special rules? Thanks again, good job!
Hello. Thank you for your comment😀 About the price, we don't remember it exactly, but it was within the standard rate- nothing shocking...I believe it was less than 30 Euro per day. Our suggestion is that you should contact the marina before hand to make sure they have availability. In our case, we took dinghy, from where we anchored, to customs and it was when we inquired and had a chance to discuss what to do in details. Due to the tight space situation, it's prohibited to leave or arrive the mooring site in darkness (at least 30 min before sunset, for instance, and while the staff is on duty). Good luck. It was truly a gorgeous place!
@@TravelwithNaomi Thank You again for the information!
@@zoltantoth2801 All the best! Cheers.
I live here it is not as beautiful as it looks
Thanks for your comment. I respect your perspective as someone living there. For us, it was an incredible experience visiting there. 😀 Cheers.
Today is July 22, 2024. Is this your last video? We are still hoping to see at least one more. Hope that you are well.
Thank you and nice to hear from you. Maybe perhaps one more... Let's see...😀
Naomi, life is all about choice and decisions. Not everyone dares to leave their comfort zone and to embrace new life, and uncertainties. you are very brave!
Thank you so much for your kind words! Means a lot😃 All the best!

Naomi, please let me know your personal email if you don't mind
What a slice of heaven … looks like paradise 🏝️
It was an adventure! We had a lot of fun.
Wow !! Looks breath taking !
It was just amazing 👍
The scenery is amazing and the dog was a special addition
Thank you 🙂 I miss Art (the dog) a lot. She was so special.
nice video yall
Thank you so much😃
Nice hike and cool drone shots Like Tarzan going into the trees!
Thank you! The hike was amazing 👍
Hola mi querida amiga! Gusto en verlos y esos paisajes tan hermosos!!! Atte; Mimí Q🎉
Me alegro de que hayas disfrutado del video. Gracias por tu comentario😉
This was the first time that I noticed the bird's eye views. How long does it take to learn how to control the drone so smoothly? A good tool for inspecting the sails from top to bottom. Next time, you may want to lower the volume of the music, or skip it, when Martin is speaking. The percussions tend to drown out his voice.
Thank you for your encouraging and constructive comments. Drone is Martin's new hobby. It took him a few practices and you will see more footages in the future videos (amazing sceneries!)..., and yes, he has already used drone to check the top of the mast. It is a great tool. About the volume- agreed and well noted.
@@TravelwithNaomi Looking forward to more bird's eye views.
I like those Dance moves by Martin. He’s a natural dancer 🕺 😊
Singing and dancing. He is a great entertainer! :-)
@@TravelwithNaomi you should start each video of him dancing, you can then nickname him “Martino the dancing sailor” 🕺👍😊
@@iole1028 Oh he is a drone operator now. You will see more in the next episodes😀
This is the longest that you made us wait for your next video. After two weeks of waiting, we started wondering if you are okay or not. Glad to see that you are doing just fine.
We are doing great! Thank you for all your support and for always encouraging us 🙂 Means the world!
Nice video. Seems like a quiet island. Hope you enjoyed it. ☀️🌴
@@iole1028 Thank you ! Each day was special 👍
I am enjoying your videos. You are going to some of the places I hope to get to. Mayaguana looks wonderful. Thanks for sharing ! 👍
Thank you so much for your comment- means a lot! The Bahamas was special and stays in our memory as a top destination, especially remote island such as Mayaguana and Rum Cay. Getting to these places was a special experience on own. Now missing those days! If you get to visit, please take your time and enjoy the paradise! 😀
@@TravelwithNaomi If I get there it will be as far as I go my first season. And I would likely stay there a while before heading back north. I've been dreaming for years and now preparing for this. I feel like I know so much and yet so little at the same time ! Lol
@@sailingonabudget Wow, I am so thrilled for you and for your wonderful experience of life time ahead of you!! All the best!
Stocking Island is FUN.
We loved it so much😀Thanks for your comment!
Looks like an amazing island. How long will you stay and where is your next stop?
It is an amazing island! We stayed for a few days and the next stop is......., stay tuned!😀
Wow enjoy Guadeloupe...we were there christmas holiday in 2018/ 2019. We just loved it so much. People were so french / polite but with the caribean warmth. And the nature is amazing😊
Great hearing from you! Yes Guadeloupe was great and people were very kind. Lots of fond memories😀
@@TravelwithNaomi Enjoy! Here we have rain today. The Caribbean sea looks so attractive.. Do you have my email by the way?
Hi there. No I don't and I'd love to have it!
Those birds that were diving into the water with a big splash, where they pelicans?
Yes that's correct! I had a lot of fun watching them hunt :-)
I like your new sail and your matching T-shirts. 😊😊
Thank you! We always love your comments 😀. Good catch on the T shirts!
Nice weather, nice sailing. You both are living the life! Enjoy it😊
Thank you! Beautiful adventure still ahead of us 😀
Nice to see both of you. Have a good trip to Grenada!

Thats on my bucket list ❤
Absolutely! Such an amazing place and we would love to go back one day😃

Pizza in paradise. How delightful.

Thank you for the authentic tour of Rum Cay. Godspeed!
Thank you so much! Rum Cay (from George Town) was actually not a planned destination. We are so happy that the winds took us there!
Wow my Dear friend, it’s maravelous! Thanks… 🎉
Thank you! It was so gorgeous and we loved being there every second! I think you will enjoy the full episodes (EP29 and 30) :-) Cheers.
