⛵️CARIBBEAN: Dream vs Reality!! 🤯 Ep.279

For years we have dreamed of arriving the Caribbean with our own sailboat, just like we've read in many books. The problem is that many times in life when we dream of something for so long we create our own reality and when the dream comes through it's often a lot less exciting than we'd have imagined. Well, this was not the case. I think all the books underestimated the beautiful color of the Caribbean water. I don't think I will ever get used to it.
This week we explored Saint Vincent and Granadines in the Caribbean, the beautiful island well know for its kitesurf called Frigate and we sailed to Tobago Keys, that's like an aquarium. We also had a great sail back to Grenada. Well, this video is not just about the places we visited, but it's also about what we felt about all these places and people we met.

Good explanation about the vulcano situation: • A Minute-By-Minute Loo...
Filmed in: January 2022
We are Duca and Roberta, a Brazilian couple that during a sabbatical trip in 2016 decided to follow our dream. So, we created "Odd Life Crafting", a project composed of many smaller projects that we call seasons.
The first one was the creation of Odd Life Crafting. The idea was to build a metal boat to be able to travel the world taking our house with us, but we didn't have money for that. So, we started the next season: we built a tiny shipping container house with no prior experience in building to gain some skills to build a boat. When we were almost finished we found a boat 700km away from our hometown that was neglected for over 22 years and we spent 2 years refitting her (Season 3). The last season has been a dream coming true… we are exploring the Brazilian coast with OUR BOAT that we called Odd.. But wait? What happened to the house? Check out our website to know more about it www.oddlifecra...
We hope to inspire others to follow their dreams.

I remember when Roberta was shy and Duca was a great Ham , now Roberta has blossomed and let's her personality shine . I think that's great 😊 .

[@OddLifeCrafting]

☺️

[@adrianrodriguez6278]

One reason I watch you two is that it's very evident that you love each other very much. And because of that, your videos are usually happy and upbeat. Even when things go wrong. Thanks!

[@OddLifeCrafting]

💕🥰

[@JohnKenIRB233]

Great to see the course and maps. Just a little too short for me. Thx for bringing us along.😊😊😊 John Ken

[@CapitalVideo]

You are great tourist guides to these amazing places - thanks, and nice seeing Taylor as well.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

🥰 Glad you enjoyed it, my friend

Looks wonderfull! Nice edit also with the calm music

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Thanks!

[@markstevens1729]

Nothing as sweet as being able to slip a mooring line, unfurl a headsail and go. No noise, no stink, just sailing.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

🥰

[@TrentWatkins-xr2vf]

Best part of cruising you can hoist anchor and move 😆. I loved Croatia because we could always find our own private spot with no one around 👍.

[@normehrenzeller1383]

Sunday is Odd Life day. Great clear warm water living the life. Be safe and sail on.

[@theobserver1219]

Finally!!! You'll are having a dream life that many others will never experience!! Keep sending the pictures of your experience! That is how we only experience it! Pity you did not visit my islands! Trinidad and the lovely Tobago! One of the best tourist destination in the Caribbean!!!!

[@OddLifeCrafting]

😊 maybe in the future we will visit your islands. Our friend’s mother is from Trinidad 😊

What a wonderful life you sometimes have a little work and then enjoy the sun and the sea and the peace and quiet no sijkers to get bored no clouds of smoke spewing trucks just a wonderful nature with clear air GREAT greetings from a sunny and fresh Netherlands Hans.👍👍👍👍🍀

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Hehe. I wish you were right on the amount of time we spend enjoying and the amount of work we have. We never worked this much in our lives, having a KZbin channel is having some many jobs at the same time. The time we are enjoying we are also working: filming and thinking of better ways to show all the places to you guys (the viewers). We work every day from the time we wake up to the time we got to bed, answering messages like your is also part of our work, as we spend hours of our week doing this. At least it’s a great work 😁

[@auxcoeursdumonde]

Hello from Bolivia! It was such a pleasure to meet you and sail together! Thank you again 😊

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Hello!!!! Nice to hear from you!

[@tomasdolezsal5244]

Omg. That's the place they made delicious lobsters. Back in 2019, there was no fee, and no overcrowding, never heard of island renting (not in the south), that's a joke and we had some islands for ourselves (mostly outside the reef) I really miss the Caribbean. Happy sailing! Cheers

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Things have changed a lot since 2019. We have friends from Saint Pierre in Martinique and they said that back then nobody would go to Saint Pierre and not it’s an anchorage fullllll of boats 😬

[@FistralG]

When we visited Tobago cays there were about 6 other boats and we anchored right behind the reef. It’s like looking at the edge of the world looking out over horseshoe reef. 😮 I’m pleased you got to experience it after all your hard work. 👍

[@OddLifeCrafting]

🥰

[@tommytriglav5181]

Just came across this thought it would be interesting for you. Full displacement boats live in this zone. As soon as speed increases above this number, fuel burn rises sharply. At speeds above 1.3 times the square root of the waterline, the burn starts to climb dramatically. O.k. then I will add an example. Let’s look at some actual numbers from a full-displacement trawler in the 40- to 50-foot range: 7.5 knots @ 3 GPH = 2.5 nMPG If we push for a little more speed the fuel burn changes: 9 knots @ 11 GPH = 0.8 nMPG Notice that by slowing down 1.5 knots, this boat increases its fuel economy almost 300%. Wow that is using a lot of extra fuel. Hope you enjoyed that I am used to power boats and it is like 30%. 300%is almost unbelievable that is using 3 times more fuel. Wow

[@rainfinger]

We are leaving on our trans-Atlantic at the end of May, headed to Azores, Cabo Verde and Florianopolis, partially you guys inspired us, having circumnavigated but never called in South America.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Yey!! You are going to our hometown (Florianópolis). Have a safe trip. ❤

[@rainfinger]

@OddLifeCrafting Can you recommend a marina for a sloop monohull, drawing 6ft?, length 35ft., beam 11ft, studying Babbel's Portuguese during the months at sea. Don't worry I won't say I know you.

[@sailingsomeday5975]

Great video - Be careful with hitch hikers - in some countries you as captain are responcible for your passengers/crews behavure while they are there

[@robertlaird6746]

Those exposed wood parts on your deck like the place where you hold your outboard, you should think about rubbing some wood oil on it. Beautiful waters. I'm about ready to order plans to build a lightweight aluminum performance catamaran like Sailing Life on Jupiter has and Sailing into Freedom is building. That would be cool to see each other on the water in the future, talk about boat equipment and exchange ideas.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

It’s on the list for the next Odd refit hehehe. Good luck on your building! Hope to meet you out there some Day 😊

For about USD$1.88, you can buy a full pound of green peas. Pour boiling water to cover peas. Place lid on pot and leave for 24 hours then drain and feed to fish and turtles. Healthy for them and tasty too! Fish will swarm around you (great video, wink, wink).

[@OddLifeCrafting]

We never remember to buy it 😬

[@andersholmstrom3571]

I have been in Grenada. We stayed at a hotel by Grand Anse Beach on the outskirts of StGeorge. The beach was great when we arrived but after a storm with hughe waves it was a bit "modified". We visited a restaurant called "The Green Parrot". It was on stilts out in the mangroves. It was run by a Swedish lady. Verry simple but nice. We also visited anothe one called "The Red Crab". This as at a yacht club.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Grenada is a great island 😊 I’m glad you got to experience it
