And the #1 BEST Island in the Caribbean is... [🎥17🇦🇬]

Antigua! Yep. It's a bold call but we can claim it. We've been to pretty much every part of the Caribbean, and Antigua and Barbuda take the claim for us. Today we visit Antigua (Barbuda's next week!), and while they could not be more different, that's what makes them such a good pairing. Antigua has it all - Restaurants, Resorts, History, Nightlife - and Barbuda has pretty much nothing other than raw, unspoiled beauty. Yep, we love it here. Watch and find out why...

ABOUT US: WE ARE THE SAILING FAMILY!​
Welcome aboard. We are a family of five sailing around the world on our "dream boat," a performance catamaran named "Archer." 

Ten years ago, before kids, we sailed a Lagoon 380 named "Honeymoon" halfway around the world from the East Coast of the US to Sydney, Australia. Along the way we shared our experiences with family and friends via YouTube, and by happenstance created the first "sailing channel." But more than anything, we realized what an incredible experience that first trip was and that someday we wanted to do it again, only this time with our kids.

We want to share with them the importance of taking time to be with family. To show them a world outside of the one they grew up in. We want them to appreciate how lucky we are to experience (and to care for) the natural beauty of this world. But mostly we want to spend time with our kids during these formative years and create lasting memories as a family. That's why we are "The Sailing Family."

OUR BOAT is a Ferrari red 2014 Outremer 51 performance cruising catamaran. We chose this boat as it has been specifically designed for the purpose of bluewater sailing. It was designed and built to withstand the stress of sailing multiple times around the world safely and in comfort. It's also a speed demon, which is important when you want to cover large distances of water before the weather changes. Lastly, it's backed by the manufacturer with outstanding customer service and aftermarket support, so we believe she will hold her value well. And, she's nice on the eyes too.

OUR ROUTE has taken us from the Boston/Cape Cod area of the United States down to the Caribbean and then on to the Panama Canal.  At the time of posting this we are dealing with a repair in the South Pacific, and in 2020 we hope to be in New Zealand and Southeast Asia. By 2021 we will be in the Med and close to completing our circumnavigation.
