Boatlife while Corona Virus outbreak - Sailing couple under lockdown.

Boarders are closed here in Dominica due to the worldwide covid-19 pandemic and travelling is almost impossible now as the world is in lockdown. Boatlife became quiet different while the dreaded Corona Virus infected also the Caribbean Islands. Have a look how we get along with the lockdown of the world on our 45ft old catamaran, how we organize and make sure we stay healthy and what we still can do to support one-another while this global crisis. This new coronavirus makes us wear masks, keep physical distance and remember the good old times before this change of the world. Acyually the best time to remember how to can veggies and fruits. Fortunately we got this from a befriended farmer and with his help we organised within a blink of an eye a fruit and veggie market for the cruisers to keep them out of town and have fresh produce available even if we live with some restrictions. The lockdown and following curfew suddenly made Joanna become a dentist and pulling fadoms in Captain Bamba's mouth. We develop new skills during the crisis and use the time to self-improvement. Some say we are stuck in the Caribbean but we feel this sounds way to scary for what it actualy really is. We are doing well and don't wanna be anywhere else in the world. Living off-grid get more and more important as none of us knows, when borders will reopen, when travelling and sailing to new adventures will get an option again. What do you think? Will we be able to sail south for hurricane season?
